merely talk

rantings and ravings with little cohesion and plenty of pretension

 

Flora and Fauna....mostly Fauna.

I'm feeling better today. It's amazing what a good night's sleep will do for your outlook. I'm still not feeling great about work, but my sore throat has lessened, and I'm feeling slightly more healthy today.

So YAY!

I spent last night over at Amanda's house re-potting plants. In the dark. It was quite the relaxing adventure. And now I am the proud owner of 5 of her little baby spider plants. I have to keep them alive. Which worries me slightly. I'm not that great at keeping plants alive. But I have faith. I'll do my best to take care of them. Especially since Amanda is quite attached to them, and she would be very disappointed in me if something happened.

As we re-potted she started to talk about how she likes the idea of friendship plants. That one friend gives their friend an offspring from one of their plants. And the friend then owns a clone of the origingal. So she's given me these ones, and if I take good care of them and they have babies of their own, I could give them to my friends. And it creates this chain of life and friendship. I think it's kinda an awesome idea. So there's even more incentive for me to take care of these little ones.

I think after I get paid I'll head over to a plant store and get a few more plants for my balcony. It looks so plain and lonely out there. And I'm inspired by the ones I got last night. I'm so keen to grow more.

I also have big plans to grow some herbs on one of my window sills. I'm a big fan of basil. But I may have missed the season on it. I'm not sure. I'll ask my mom, the all knowing plant lady.

My big goal for my future is to own a house. I have big plans for a library and an office, and colour schemes for the kitchen, bedrooms, and living room. I know other girls plan their weddings, or careers. I plan my house. And in every re-creation of it there is a beautiful flower garden in the front and a vegetable garden in the back. I plan on growing tomatoes and carrots and potatoes. And other fun things. So I best learn the nuances of growing now, so I'll know what I'm doing in the (hopefully near) future.

Regarding those "friendship plants":
Now that I have unloaded a bunch of spider babies, I have room for other plants, and I would like to diversify my collection. Does anyone have anything they can give me cuttings of? I will gladly trade you some babies when the next batch gets big enough. There are lots of tiny ones right now that will grow quickly, if I haven't traumatized the mothers too much by repotting them.
Amanda
