Living example

Tantamount: as good (as); equivalent in effect

I've had this word in my head for over a week now. A sudden case of the flu helped me learn how to use it in a sentence:

Vomiting is tantamount to diarrhea

Things I'm loving right now...

Cricket
Saw a game being played at a park this weekend. Although I don't know anything about the game, the players look like such gentlemen in their all-white and their bellies not hanging over their pants.

USPS
I made them to work last week. I finally put my glut of Borders gift certificates to use (I was able to order 5 books and I only paid $4). I also got a new issue of Believer Magazine!



Frontier Ruckus
Their videos are so sweet and fit their music perfectly. The Blood is my jam, but it's not on YouTube. I've liked that song for awhile and my office-mate is on vacation. It has been playing, indeed.

Mr. and Mrs. Lizard
Two lizards that like hanging out by the poppies and I'm pretty sure the Mrs. is expecting. Sometimes they startle me when I'm watering.


Lettuce
I'm growing an organic mix and it's looking good!

Wild Fennel
Found some in the hills down the street when I was on a hike with Ben. It's feathery soft.

Donovan

Donovan...
is a gem

Citizens for Boysenberry Jam

Ben made me the best mix - you should download it! There are some of my all-time favorite songs here

HAMMERMILL

If I were to have a daughter, I might name her Avery so that our names would be affiliated with paper products. If Ben wanted to be included, I would encourage him to change his name to Hammermill.

So impatient...

I'm ready for my new glasses to sit on my face
