apparently i'm a gardener
i went to my old choir's benefit concert yesterday. they had some things for sale, including the centerpieces that were on the tables for the coffee afterward. i thought, 'hey, a plant. i haven't tried to keep a plant alive in a long time. i should buy one. and it's all pretty in its foilness, so sure.' so i bought it and named it victoria, after the crown princess of sweden. at which point my mother said, 'you know this is a plant you have to plant, right?' what?! a real plant?! i have to get my hands dirty! and try to keep a plant alive outside! ah! scary! poor thing doesn't stand a chance. but i'm going to try. i bought her to be my very own pretty little flower, so i owe it to her to keep her alive. plus also, she's named after royalty after all (and my future sister-in-law at that!), so i must honor that. oh boy.

well, it's still alive today, right? so you can do it! :)
:)
maybe sometimes it will rain, and then you won't have to water it
I killed a fake plant once. I accidently ran it over with the vaccuum cleaner, which is funny because I don't really know what I was doing with the vaccuum cleaner anyway. Good luck, though.
you've given me hope, busy. maybe my plant will live a little longer than yours. :)
You can do it!!! I always thought you'd be the gardening type and am surprised you haven't done it before!
what kind of plant is it?
begonia
the gardening type? you have to get dirty! and be outside! and work! gardens are pretty, but no, not for me.
so is victoria still living?
samwise gamgee was a gardener
she is still living. not outside yet, though, but that's good cuz it's supposed to be freezing again tomorrow night. :(
i love sam. :)
