i love plants!!!!
so i have this herb garden. (right now a little voice may have just come into your head and with a screechy, stoner-like tone said, "oh ya? heh heh like, what kind of herbs? heh heh" just put this joke gently to rest because, believe it or not, EVERYBODY that i have told about my herb garden has already made that one. don't worry though, i think we all struggle at times with the little stoner comedian inside) but it is really exciting for me to be able to take care of plants and there is a very strangely therapeutic quality to the whole process. now let me clarify, this isn't a little window sill pot with rosemary, parsley, and oregano that you buy at trader joes for five bucks. i have about ten different potted plants that i am very proud of. i worry though because sometimes i feel like i am allowing myself to forget about all the worries of life and just think of my plants as my friends. i will even confess (let's keep this one on the d.l.) that i have had MULTIPLE dreams about seeing these beautiful gardens. it is actually really stressful at times. like when i am at work and people walk in all cold and shivery i worry myself sick that my basil is going to get too cold. you know how basil loves heat right? anyway, i can't imagine how painfully boring this must be for someone else to read so i'll move on with my day.

that wasn't boring at all. i don't have an herb garden but i do have about three plants that i am really proud of. one in particular is my pride and joy. we should all make dinner sometime soon and use some of those herbs! what are you doing for easter?
the plants...they'll break your heart.
the quote is high fidelity.
