Cookies, Macro Lens, and Win Some Parfum!

My tummy is full of two of the above cookies. Yum. They are Mint Chocolate Chip and I have the recipe here, if you are interested. I'm usually more than a 2 cookie girl, but these suckers are rich.

Today, I won my first ever eBay auction. Very soon I'll have a new (to me) Macro lens for my little Canon. Woohoo! I cannot wait to get it. There's a big spider on the porch that I've been trying and trying to shot, but he never comes out very clear. I'm pretty sure it's going to work well for shooting people, too. Damn, I'm excited!

If you are a Twitter-er, then add KenzoUSA and tweet the following message and you could win a bottle of the new Kenzo fragrance FlowerbyKenzo Essentielle:

Follow @kenzousa and RT for a chance to win new FlowerbyKenzo Essentielle! Ends 9/21.

That's it. I've got to get back to The Biggest Loser. I love that show.

GroGood For the Jesus Center

I got this stuff in the mail last week - 2 planters, 2 trowels, 2 bags organic plant food, 2 shopping bags, and 2 shopping cards that are supposed to be used to purchase soil. Sarah and I are going to have an urban garden, where we grow vegetables on the patio. It's for the GroGood program.

We want to donate some to the Jesus Center, a facility for homeless folks. Sarah did a Girl Scout event there earlier this year and she had so much fun. She enjoyed all their stories. Bay has worked down there, as well, and Sarah and I have run a 5k event that benefits the Jesus Center twice on Thanksgiving. The whole Chico community supports the program.

I asked Mom what we should grow - what would produce the most vegetables in the smallest amount of space? She suggested zuchini, but I already have a couple of those in my other planters. Any suggestions? I think that I will do some basil. It's easy and we love it.

It's going to be so much fun. By the way, I have little green tomatoes on my cherry tomato plant already. I'll keep you updated on our progress. I'm also going to be documenting it over at BlissTree on the Food/Nutrition section.
