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! :)

My Brother's Question and Answer Segment

As you all know from yesterday's post and comments, my brother slammed me on a few of my survey answers. I've left his questions/comments in black and my answers in blue. Letter: Q Now, I wonder why you would like the letter Q. I wonder what Jean-Luc REALLY thinks about that? Uhm---it's the only Star Trek related letter. :P Any comment Jean-Luc?? Body Part on Opposite sex: smile Age you wanna lose your Virginity: How old am I now? LOL Can these two answers really correspond? It sounds to me like you might be lying in one of these. What???? Sex doesn't start with a smile? Besides....you should see his smile. Strawberry or Watermelon: watermelon What! Watermelon! You...You... TRAITOR! :P Kiss or Hug: both Now, this answer seems to correspond well with both your answers in the above mentioned two questions. And your point is? Rap or Punk: rap You really like rap? Uhm...I think TobyMac counts as rap and I like a few of his songs. I also like hiphop. Wanna see me dance with ...

Shock and Awe

It is a strange thing. How someone can say, "I'm sorry, please forgive me" and still manage to correct you all at once...it is truly amazing to me. I was shocked that this person actually admitted to being wrong, and at the same time, I was ashamed for wanting it. But it got me to thinking. About Repentance and Forgiveness...how once they have happened...there is healing and restoration. I haven't completely researched it yet, but the verses I've peaked at in James make me think I'm not far off. I wonder, just as one person sinning can spoil others...can one person repenting turn others to repentance? Hmm.... Of course, as in any relationship situation...it helps to know the whole story. Why do we do that, I wonder? Close up and not share what is going on, I mean. I know that sometimes, there are things that hurt too deep to share right away. It is frustrating. Thanksgiving looks to be a dismal day so far. I'm not about ready to invite myself to any...

Weekenders!!!

It's that time again. For Michele's weekend Meet-n-Greet. Some frown, but others gleefully play. Here's a question for all who visit here, whether on your own or from Michele's: Last night during a prayer meeting, I had a memory flash through my mind. More like the shadow of the memory. I was five years old or younger and I was begging my father for a peanut butter cake. I really wanted one, and even though I was interupting the adult conversation and probably being a regular brat...my Dad quit what he was doing to search for a recipe for a peanut butter cake...uhm, I don't think he ever found one so he made me a chocolate one with peanut butter frosting. This is probably the best memory I have of my father. So - what is your favorite childhood memory?????
