I have an old friend from high school coming down to visit tomorrow, unexpectedly. I'm hoping I'll have time tonight to put together a pasta bake, which I can just pop in the oven. We can't afford to bring her out for dinner.

On another note, last night was the only night this week that I wasn't busy or it wasn't raining, so I filled a "planter" that I bought used for $2 with rocks, dirt and some mums. It looks great - even though I did it in the dark. My neighbors must think I'm nuts, but I'm too busy during the day for these things!
