Green Thumb

I'm so proud of my newly acquired green thumb. In the past I haven't had great success with plants thriving. Yet since my new house boasts several window boxes I've become a gardening guru - okay...well maybe not a guru, but I'm working on it! So far, I've planted poppies, sedums, a few succulent varieties, and herbs: thyme, oregano, rosemary, and sage. I was so proud of my window boxes I even made my best friends go outside and thoroughly admire and appreciate my hard work (they were not amused).

Are you into gardening? What are your favorite plants: I'm a newbie so any recommendations are helpful and encouraged!

New Pup

My parents are adopting a puppy - here he is!!! They're getting him through a local rescue/adoption center. All we know is he is half Labrador, half Australian sheppard, and oh so cute! My mom is due to pick him up on Friday for keeps - and as of now, his name is "Bear." Isn't he adorable??

Come On!

I said I'd give up watching The Bachelor after the awful rejection the last time around - when Jason dumped chosen Melissa for rejected Molly...and yet I continued watching. But this is awful! Jake rejected the wonderful, sweet, wholesome Tenley for the immature, promiscuous, (and dare I say...slutty) Vienna. Anyone echoing my sentiments?

P.S. Did anyone else roll their eyes and resist the urge to vomit during the "On the Wings of Love" montage at the end??

Legally Blonde!

I forgot to mention I saw Legally Blonde the musical Wednesday night with my mom. I loved Legally Blonde the movie - maybe because I was a sorority girl myself. But I have to say the play was hilarious! I really didn't expect it to wow me, but I was laughing out loud! I mean, I'm always a fan of musicals, but this one was actually hysterical in parts. I highly recommend seeing it if it comes to your city!

Back in the Day

Haha, a delightful card for that mother/father, or "elder," who doesn't share the same generational letter as yourself. Ideal for someone who starts their stories with "back in the day..." Back in the day when giant squids ruled the high seas...
