stoney321It helps if you know the song by Metallica for the icon to work... Wanna know what all the dom stuff is about? Today is graduation day. Heading out in a few hours to walk the walk. All you punk-ass "bachelor of arts" wussies better go get me a piece of pie! You lookin' at your new MASTER beyotch! Aw, yeah, I'm hardcore GARDENER in yo face!
Ha ha ha! Seriously, though I am super excited about today. It was hard going back to school, then for this title, you have to give back several hundred hours of volunteer work to the community (which is fun because people are stupid and it amuses me). I am now officially an "expert" on turf, trees, grass, flowers, vegetables, insects and disease. So I got that going for me, which is nice.
A SHINY NEW BADGE!! I can wear it with pride.... Yay me! :-) More Cecily later today!

It's taken me many years to learn how to keep a plant alive. Fortunately, here in SoCal, the emphasis is on drought-resistance, so if I kill my existing plants by forgetting to water, I can claim I was experimenting with "waterwise" gardening techniques.

Date: 2004-12-09 01:01 pm (UTC)Just remember this: plants can take drought better than over watering. Rock=Stoney. Ha ha ha!

MASTER
Date: 2004-12-09 11:10 am (UTC)Okay, it was funnier when I said it to
I'm jealous of your knowledge of shiny green things. I'm so proud of my little summa cum posey. You and Caza need to start calling each other after "Lost," so he'll stop giving me squeeing updates about a show I've never seen. I finished your Christmas cd last night, and yes, "I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus" made the cut. More later. Work is a douche.
Re: MASTER-<small>bator</small> Hee!
Date: 2004-12-09 01:09 pm (UTC)summa cum posey. Hee! WHY AREN'T YOU WATCHING LOST?? Fine. I'll just whisk Eddie away to discuss it.
Work IS a douche. I am highly against it.

Date: 2004-12-09 11:40 am (UTC)Once again I wish I could fly you up here to give me advice. I started a garden with hopes for flowers, took the idea of "partial sun" too optimistically and gave up three years later realizing that what I really had was mostly shade. My vision of showy colors had to give way to much more subdued greenery. Ah well.
no subject
Date: 2004-12-09 01:11 pm (UTC)Oh, but shade gardens are the prettiest! I swear it. My old house was nothing but shade, and by the time we moved, I had little pockets of gardens that were so beautiful... Full sun plants are so garish, and now that's all I have.
I'll send you a list of plants to check out, and they will all be low-maintenace, I promise!!
