Me: Where did I get such a silly sister?

Morgan: God gave me to you!

Morgan: Jesus died on this (Holding up her Styrofoam cup of juice)

Me: Your cup?

Morgan: THIS!  (Turned the cup around to show me a little cross that she had scratched on the side with her fingernail)

Dad: Morgan, it's time to go to bed

Morgan: No thank you

Dad: If you do that again you're gonna get a smack

Morgan: No thank you

Later, when we went kayaking,

Me: There's a stump in the middle of the water.. (trying to go around it)

Morgan: That's an obstacle!

Me: Last night, dad squished a bug that was heading toward my room

Morgan: He squished one of God's creatures?!

Morgan: I have to go potty

Me: ok, go.

Morgan: You can come in with me, I don't need any privacy

I went in for a minute, then when I went to leave

Morgan: (yelling) I don't need any privacy!!

When she first wakes up in the morning,

Morgan: (screaming at the top of her lungs) Daaaa-ddddyyy, It's moooooornnnnnning!..... Daaaa-ddddyyy, It's moooooornnnnnning!..... Daaaa-ddddyyy, It's moooooornnnnnning!.....

Daaaa-ddddyyy, It's moooooornnnnnning!..... Daaaa-ddddyyy, It's moooooornnnnnning!.....

(until dad goes up to her room to get her.)

We've mainly been watching lots of movies lately to fill our time. Mostly horror movies, or ones with specific people in them like Colin Farrell (Phone Booth, SWAT, and some war one) or Haden Christiansen (Jumper and a few other dumb ones) or Alicia Cuthberg (The Quiet, He was a Quiet Man, and other dumb ones). It's been pretty fun & cheap since they're only a dollar each. It also gives us something new to look forward to seeing, other than just pricey theatrical releases. Fun, fun.

Anyway, not much else going on. My veggie garden has been under attack by all sorts of bugs/worms/diseases; pretty much anything & everything. I'm even using 2 different methods of pesticides, to no avail! So I recently had to say goodbye to my cherry tomatoes, lettuce, broccoli, snow peas, & brussel sprouts. I've still got green beans, lentils, sweet peppers, volcano peppers, black pearl peppers, and troubled (half-bug-eaten) tomatillos. An my herbs are okay for the most part. Its sad though: losing the battle when I've worked so hard to keep stuff alike & healthy.

Speaking of alive & healthy, my effort to get back in shape is paying off. I'm toning up & eating better and I've been working out/doing dvds/walking a lot more. So that's good. It helps that I found this great little farmers market that has really cheap produce and its on my way home from work, so I can stop off and get healthy snacky-stuff on my lunch break or right before dinner. Yay!

I saw a hummingbird in my garden yesterday. It went right up to the mexican petunias that I have under the livingroom window. It was gone too quickly for me to get a pic, but here's what it looked like:
