- At the grocery store yesterday, they were giving away free Easter Lilies that hadn’t sold before Easter. The Husband said I couldn’t have one because I’m a Plant Killer. So far I’ve killed the plant that my mother-in-law got me when I had surgery in 2003, two Peace Lilies, a bulb kit my boss got me for Christmas one year (I managed to get the bulbs to sprout and then the sprouts died a couple weeks later), and a lucky bamboo plant that even said on the tag it’s very hard to kill because they need very little care. Don’t believe that. It’s really not difficult to kill a bamboo plant. At least, not for me.
- We went to Lowe’s on Saturday and took notes on the plants we liked to possibly plant in our front yard. (I’m allowed to have plants in my yard because nature takes care of those. I’m just not allowed to have houseplants.) The only thing I requested is a dogwood tree and something along the front of the house that blooms so we can have flowers at some point during the year. Other than that, The Husband can do what he wants. Outside is his domain, inside is mine.
- When I get my mind set on something, I completely immerse myself in it until my interest wanes. Right now, it’s interior design. I have a few small things I want to do inside the house to make the rooms look better and so I’ve been reading all kinds of interior design sites and blogs and magazines. My bloglines account had lots of new blog feeds added to it this weekend, thanks to my current obsession.
- My dog crashed into my entertainment center while The Husband was playing with her yesterday and broke it. I guess that’s a lesson in furniture buying. Don’t buy something from Wal-Mart just because you need an entertainment center when first moving into your house and can’t really afford something nice because you just spent all your money on the downpayment for said house. Because if one day you have a fifty pound dog, she might run into it and break the front leg, causing the glass shelf on the side to fall off and break the decorative plate your husband gave you while you were dating. I’m just glad the top shelf holding the champagne glasses from our wedding didn’t fall off too. (Glasses have since been moved to a safer place.)
I have to laugh, Shana — I kill plants too! My MIL gave me a plant that was supposedly impossible to kill when my son was born…it was dead within a week.
Sorry about your entertainment center, btw 😉
Cheers to learning experiences and that the glasses weren’t broken!
I killed one of those lucky bamboo plants too, hehe.
I got an amaryllis bulb for Christmas this year…it has yet to bloom. Every time I water it, it shoots up taller, and now it’s practically falling over with top-heaviness and I have no idea what to do with it…it never blooms or does anything cool. I just can’t believe it’s even still alive.
