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!

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! :)

Ponderisms

This comes from an email from one of my many sisters. Some are just toooo funny!!! PONDERISMS 1.) I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes. 2.) Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. 3.) The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement. 4.) Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway. 5.) There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead. 6.) Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing. 7.) Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. 8.) The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth. 9.) Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs. 10.) Have you noticed since everyone has a ca...

Too Soon

"I spoke too soon" Well....sort of. Here's a brief rundown of my first 'drop off run' - u know, taking the kids home. I get all the kids on the bus, knowing that one girl needs to go to daycare, I automatically head for the one she went to last year...as I pull up, she says, "I don't go there anymore...I go to the new daycare..." Uh-oh. Now, this little girls a little more mature than the rest, so I believe her. I tried calling the other driver on the handheld radio to see if he was still at the center...no answer....tried calling the boss...no answer...I went back to the Center...no one could see the bus becuase of the ambulance, so no one could come out. So I cart the girl around the entire hour long route.........at the first stop, I sent a message through the mother to the Center....and then there was a bee on the bus!!!! I killed it, superhero that I am. One girl wants to "swing from the chandleirs"...if the bus had them. Oh m...
