coleup---

In your 1st paragraph you are describing MY house to a "T".

In your 2nd Paragraph--you are describing my work history. Strange that we have had parallel work lives.....

In your last sentence--you are WRRROONNNGGGG!!!! I hate Barry Manilow!
My music preferences span many countries and languages. Hardly anything from the USA.
well--maybe Christmas CD's....
I have beautiful, meaningful CD's with amazing music on them from Latvia.
My plants would not benefit from those, though.....They would not understand the words.......:o)

I just repotted the Brazilian Plume babies. Now I have 10 more pots to find a place for.
I also just potted up Ruby's Purple Passion plant. I cut back the plant I bought for her. Four more pots!!!

***doing an experiment here...It may just work!!! Trying to root all the leaves I removed from the
lower part of the stems. Believe it or not--they are perking up (rooting???).
Wouldn't it be amazing if they all grew? Ruby would have about 12 more PP plants!!! *****

I also took cuttings from a rambling Swedish Ivy pot (to have it grow bushier)--and that is 5 more 4" pots.
Bought 3 pots of beautiful Primroses at the Mars Grocery store. 3/$5. Amazing!
Two of the 3 pots have two different colored Primroses in it. Will divide those when I plant them out.
Have them on my DR table for now---...Only spot I could find.
It is too cold & windy outside to have them stay out there--even though they did last night. I forgot.....

Then--the whole seed growing thing is starting to venture into my pea brain....AAARRRGGGHHHH....
Of course--those trays will have priority on the light set-up. Then what do I do with all the stuff on it now?????
Whaaaaa....Whaaaaaaa.......Put me into a straight jacket!

JB--See? You are not the only one freaking out. Gotta give it to you, though, at your age doing
all you do--don't know how you manage! You da woman!!!!

Lots of jostling going on to make them all fit in--somewhere..... I go through this every year!

Wanna see something I made to take to the Seed Swap for the gift table? It never made it there....(see pic.).
Donner saw the picture and claimed it! I will gladly give it to her--as she is coming here next week
to take me out for a B-Day dinner. BIG one!!! Can you believe 75?????? Whaaaaa......
I will just pretend I don't know it! Who? ME????? NO WAY!!!!! When did THIS happen?????

OK! Gotta fix some grub for dinner and lunch tomorrow at work.
Will play some of those amazing Latvian CD's while doing it. Nothing much of interest on the TV
on Saturdays! Lots of Sports...Bah--Humbug!
Fish, rice and Broccoli. Yum!
