The bowl was originally overflowing. The first photo is of it after about 4 hours. The second is after 24. There are currently three M&Ms left... we'll see how long those stragglers last.

The case of the missing M&Ms
I like to keep a candy dish on my desk, if for no other reason than to be one of the "popular kids." We all have high-stress jobs and there are a lot of people in the room who really like chocolate. Here's what Star newsroom staffers did to a bowl of M&Ms... in less than 24 hours. I have a limit of six M&Ms a day, so it wasn't me!

Puppy-sitting
I puppy-sat over the weekend for Eddie, a lab-poodle mix with loads of energy.
The entire time he was awake, his little legs didn't stop moving... he'd even run during his sleep sometimes.
He didn't really slow down until we were on our way to drop him back off at home... at which point, he took up residence in the back window of my car.
So to the person driving the Jeep behind us, apologize for all the dog booty you saw between Hickory and Shelby.
Garden help needed
When Julie Young moved to Hickory last year, she asked me if I would take over her role to coordinate what goes on at the PSN Seeds of Hope Community Garden.
It's a really cool project - anyone can cultivate a plot and have fresh veggies all summer - and it's time to plant now!
With food prices rising and more and more people becoming obese, a little garden work and more veggies should help people on several levels!
With that said, we need lots of help, especially at this time of year.
Lastly, I need someone to step up and take over my part of the project. I have a lot of other community obligations and I can't keep up with everything at the same level as last year.
Anyone interested in any of these things should e-mail me at seedsofhopeshelby@gmail.com.

Here are some of our needs:
- More people who want plots
- Plot markers
- Help tidying up
- People who would be willing to donate money to the project
- People willing to help do fundraising
- People to help with the cultivation of a community plot
- Equipment, including a storage building
- Signs for the garden
