In fact, it was so busy, and we're so bushed, the big write up is going to have to wait.
For now, I leave you with a potato.
But not just any potato. It's a Martian potato.
More specifically, a "The Martian" potato, a movie tie in.
A couple of weeks ago I saw a post somewhere mentioning that as a promotion for the recent movie about an astronaut stranded on Mars, the movie studio hired Mail a Spud, a company that, well, mails potatoes, to send out some special spuds with "The Martian" stamps.
The article I saw noted that the first 1,000 people who registered would get their spud for free!! That's right, a FREE potato!! It's like winning the lottery, pretty much! (Normally it costs $10 to have them mail a potato for you.)
I immediately followed the (now disabled) link and ordered up a potato, hoping beyond hope it would be delivered in time for Annabelle's birthday, because who wouldn't want a potato for their birthday, right?!
Lo and behold, the United States Postal Service brought our specially stamped spud to our door on Saturday, just in time for Bee's big day. Hooray!
Fortunately, "The Martian" has posted instructions so we can grow potatoes from our "Martian" potato, just like Mark Watney did in the movie. Wish us luck!
