douchenozzles, Evie Cat, getting creative, goals, Lego, life, moods, random shit that falls out of my brain, school, stress, the world is full of fucking idiots, work
It was rather a rough day, at least the part preceding my arrival home. (the vinegar reference is because of all the fucking douchenozzles I ran into while trying to leave campus and get home this afternoon) But when I got here Miss Evie Cat was waiting for me and we snuggled and now all is right with my world again.
I finally managed to get the assignment that absolutely has to be turned in tomorrow done and I got my e-learning piece done. Time was getting tight on that because I’m using a trial version of the damn software and my 30 days were nearly up. But it’s done and I’m satisfied with how it turned out.
I am finding myself a wee bit obsessed with plants lately. It started with Fernidad, who is doing quite well in his swanky little Green Man pot. Then I spent some time on Pinterest (oh time suck of time sucks) looking at various gardening/growing fruit in containers/what will grow in a dim basement and/or bathroom kind of shit. I have a philodendron rooting right now up in the sunroom that I haven’t decided if he’ll live in the bathroom or on the window ledge with Fernidad. I have another philodendron rooting in a beautiful vase at my office. And I’m contemplating getting – GASP! – an African Violet.
Don’t ask, it’s probably a sickness.
Anywho, my new co-worker Miss J went to KC this weekend and brought me more Lego mini-figs. I got the archaeologist and then she made me 3 custom ones.
Yeah, apparently “homicide” was the name of the game that day.
And last but certainly not least, a look at my latest completed drawing…

I’m sorry to hear you had a rough day. It’s so nice to come home to kitty cuddles though, isn’t it? You got the skull with a bow minifig sweatshirt. Hubby said they had that one in the make your own bin. I might have to go now, haha.
Your flower is awesome!

It’s funny, two of my co-workers have gone to the KC store and both of them got me mini-figs with that sweatshirt. Everything else is *completely* different. 🙂
Thanks! I’m not sure why, but I love drawing flowers. Probably because they don’t have to be perfect.

I love the Lego figures! I have some minis but mostly Harry Potter sets. I wish I could grow some kind, any kind of plant. I raised three humans, but can’t seem to raise a flower, go figure.

I seem to go through phases with plants. When I lived in the townhouse I had African violets in a curio cabinet and they did great. But they were well established plants and the light where I had the cabinet was just about perfect. Now I’m thinking of putting one in the window ledge in the basement which gets *very* indirect light. We’ll see.
I think raising humans is a much more daunting job. 😉

I’m going to start collecting them. Much easier to know you’re not getting a duplicate than the damn Lego figs. 😀

I got an African violet this weekend, which allegedly will propagate like that, and I’ve got several philodendrons started. It’s going to become a sickness, I just know it…

I have eight plants just in my living room – one of which would happily stand over 12ft tall, if my ceiling allowed it.
