Plants and the New Year

I bought a plant last night. Probably paid too much, but it was a nice little ivy plant. It's a friends house right now as we went to see the Narnia movie last night and I didn't want to leave it in my car for that long. I don't know why exactly I would do this to this poor innocent plant, as I do not have a green thumb. I even managed to kill an aloe plant, which is a cactus and how in the world do you kill a cactus???????? Perhaps this one will fare better.

And you all read that right. I went to the theater and saw the Narnia movie for the second time. When oh when will it come out on vhs and dvd???? I caught several things I didn't the first time through, from Santa's shadow on the snow [duh] to a parrellel between the war the kids fled from and the one they fought in Narnia.

We are on the brink of another new year. I am rather more pessimistic and cynical than I have been in past years, and yet at the same time I've had a wonderful run of emails this week that has helped take the edge off of that.

I'm thinking of adding a second blog here, a fiction sight seperate from Superhero Bob. Just a thought. Of course, I'd actually have to feel creative for that wouldn't I? I'm barely getting Bob by, poor girl.

I think I'm going to go have a donut now.

Actually, cacti can be killed by feeding them too much water. \Be careful how much you administer to them.

I suspect you will be seeing Narnia again in the future.

Welcome to 2006!

Happy New Year to you!! May it be the best yet.
Who is superhero bob?

Happy New Year!

I have managed to keep a Christmas Cactus barely alive for a number of years...however...it doesn't seem to grow. Try those Jobes plant sticks they do wonders I guess.

2006...what do you hold? *sigh*

Donuts can cure many ills, Ciera. I hope it helps.

Good luck with the ivy--I'm sure you can do well by it. And like Jean-Luc said, too much water will easily kill aloe plants. Maybe that's what happened.

Happy New Year, Ciera!

I can't believe I still haven't seen Narnia yet. I am itching to get it on DVD though. I love donuts but have cut them out of my life for the next little bit. Sigh...enjoy one for me...OK!??!!

Jean-Luc: I may have done that...unintentionally. Poor aloe plant. I suspect you're right about Narnia :)

Kat: the same to you my dear!

Daydreamer: uhm, Superhero Bob just might be my alter ego...ok, not really...she's can be found at this site here I write her sad story.

Utenzi: Happy New year to you too! I really enjoyed the donut, btw! :)

Shelley: yeah, I'm trying to cut back too. I'm sure you'll enjoy Narnia when you get to see it.

my church has rented the theater so people can see it for free. I'll have to give up my seat if someone hasn't seen it comes first, I wouldn't even complain, though I might quietly beg to stand in the back!!!

man, this week has been busy. Haven't even gotten to some of my favorite blogs these past few days! And even now I have only a few minutes. I'll see how many I can visit though! :)

Types of Friends

The other night, the friend that I watch tv and movies with was sharing something she had learned from a MOPS meeting. About the two different types of friends. Since that discussion, I've realized that there are at least 2 more types of friends and goofball that I am, I thought I'd share it all with you! Don't you feel lucky and special? :) 1. Mushroom Friends : These friends spring up over night and are in our lives just for a season. Kind of like the friends I made in school. The season is way over as I didn't even get Christmas cards from them this year [yes, I sent them cards]. 2. Oak Tree Friends : These friendships develop slowly, starting out small and laying down deep root systems. They last forever no matter how far apart the friends grow; time, distance, oceans and death cannot break the bond of friendship. They are the kind that years after being out of communication, if they heard you were in trouble {death in family, illness, etc...} they would drop stuff

A Situation

Ok. I need to think out loud here for a bit while I wait on email. I have a situation going on that could become tough. A bit of background: About 2 years ago, a single man started coming to my church and showed an interest in me. It lasted about a month and a half, with him giving me mixed signals all the time...since I have been praying for a husband for a while now, at the time, it seemed like my prayers were being answered despite the confusion. It all came down one night about midnight in his parking lot and I haven't talked to him since. He only stayed around for another 7-8 months, and those were very hard months. He lied to me and mislead me, often. Like it was second nature for him. It was made even more traumatic by a discovery of mine on a website shortly after he left the area. In September 2005, I had a blind date that was far from fruitful. My singleness and desire to be married is known to all in church, and so... To the present: Yes, another single man has walked in

My Happy Face

There is something wrong in this world when they steal the magnetic smiley face off the back of your car. Which someone has done. But, I only rolled my eyes heavenward and said, "Whatever!" Must be the neighborhood kids were bored or something.
