Sprout's Life

I've been traveling for work more than usual, and Sprout is suffering from 5 days on end without water or care of any kind.

My child

Supposedly thyme, I've attempting to raise seeds to become pillars of society. My dear cousin gave us these seedlings at her bridal shower and wow have they taken root while the sun shines on them from a coworkers window pane.

The REAL California Adventure

I've been to Disneyland and I've been to California Adventure, but this is real:
CALIFORNIA (DESERT) ADVENTURE:

• Depart LA as early or as late as you please
• Arrive at Fountain Of Youth & set up a tent in their primitive camp area (dirt parking lot). This is for snowbirds only, so don't expect too warm of a welcome.
  

• In the morning, sweat it out in the steam room & sauna!
• Take dips in the jacuzzis & pools!
• Leave that place and head for Niland, CA
• Tour Salvation Mountain

• Ask around for what to do/where the hotsprings are/where to camp (the best part is word of mouth is the only way to get this information really)
• Buy groceries for dinner
• Get to your campsite- watch out for tweakers
• *Recommended campsite is above Salvation Mountain to the right on the cliff by the 2 water towers covered in murals of different animals doing eachother

• Cook Dinner
• Head to the Hotsprings

• Ask hippies in the hotsprings what they're up to that night (if it's Saturday the only place to go is the range- outdoor generator run open mic/talent show of the locals of Slab City)

• Make a fire back at camp
• Sleep well on the cliff's edge- someone should have a tiny falling out because of an argument regarding the proper way to make a fire (teepee vs lincoln logs)
• Wake up & make instant coffee in old beer bottles
• Drive to the Salton Sea

• Go to a bar there but maybe just order water as drinking in this sad place is sorta sad
• Rescue someone stuck in the sand

• Experience an earthquake (3 a week they say)
• Steal oranges from the orchards on the drive home

• Try to freak out border patrol any way you like

• Stop for a date shake & a trip to the Dinosaurs off the 60

UPDATE: Putting some faces to some names!

BUT WHO'S THIS GUY!? My mom's cousin sent me his picture but with no explanation. Perhaps the parents of ML King?

Latest Craze

Due to the fact I just watched 4 back to back episode of this new show

I've now become even more fascinated in my Romanian roots. Ancestry.com actually lets you do a lot for free which I didn't expect but with all the product placement on NBCs new show, it was only a matter of time before I logged on.


After an hour or so of puzzle-piecing (which was actually VERY exciting), I'm a little stuck here.


Kind of cool piecing together the death records, marriage certificates, draft registrations, and more.

Any one got any ideas? I think I found a corelation between Minerva's dad & this website

Basic fears: 1) I will find out I'm not much of a gypsy at all. 2) I'm Hungarian (no offense)
