			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>- we traveled twice to St. Lou/Cape and back<br />
- I read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle; The Omnivore&#8217;s Dilemma; Persuasion; Northanger Abbey; finishing up Mansfield Park today<br />
- tried out Door-to-Door Organics and didn&#8217;t like it<br />
- wintersowed roughly 46 seeds, with at least 4x more coming in the next few weeks<br />
- changed our phone plan to something $10 cheaper and has an additional phone<span id="more-1156"></span><br />
- got classic clothes for the boys (yay!) &#8212; no logos, no printing, no rude language, etc.<br />
- the boys finished 15+ chapter books between themselves, mostly older editions (gotta love Michael O&#8217;Brien!)<br />
- was invited to help moderate a couple of forums at 4Real, and said yes<br />
- placed my last seed order of the season<br />
- am now looking into trellises and vegetable ladders for the warm-weather crops<br />
- scored 200000 on Zuma <img src='http://www.andthesethygifts.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
- reorganized a BUNCH of files and folders on my actual desk &#8212; the desktop and laptop are next<br />
- figured out which car is giving off the gassy smell in the garage <img src='http://www.andthesethygifts.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
- implemented a new and improved chore chart at home<br />
- started a fitness chart (water, veggies and exercise) for everyone, that hasn&#8217;t caught on yet, but we have hope<br />
- had our parish vicar over for dinner and counseling<br />
- had 3 separate allergy attacks from exposure to cats, which can&#8217;t be helped<br />
- requested 30 more books today<br />
- put up our &#8220;photography studio&#8221; in the basement for annual portraits and such<br />
- the boys both placed second at Pinewood Derby<br />
- went on our second month of Daily Rosaries, hopefully establishing a habit that we won&#8217;t be deviating from</p>
<p>all in all, a productive month&#8230;</p>
