I need to stop reading macro communities over my wife's shoulder.

I finally got our potted plant garden potted today. We now have a vinca vine, an oregano, a mint, and a candy corn plant the blossoms of which really do look like candy corn as promised. My mom also gave us a potted tomato plant. I rarely eat tomatoes, but Mel likes them and they're fun to try and keep alive. I had been putting of planting the garden, but I really had a surprising amount of fun and by the end was actively wishing I had more plants. I haven't really done anything with horticultural since I was a child helping my dad in the garden. I didn't like it then. I am pleasantly surprised to find that I like it now.

I received an advertisement today via Careerbuilder saying that my old employers, Namco/Bandai are looking for a marketing director. Sounds sweet except I don't want to move to California.

It says the position is in Santa Clara, California. I hate Santa Clara. You know what I hate about it?

You guessed it. All the damn vampires.

yay gardens! the candy corn plant looks cool. I think I've seen it before with some other name, but I have no idea what that might have been. Pretty sure not having enough plants is a common problem. My passion is roses. I never ever have enough roses. There is always this other rose that I just must have. nowhere to put them, though. tragedy.

Roses are my favorite flower. Back when I did a lot of drawing they were a favorite subject. Just about every drawing or painting I've ever made for fun has had a rose worked into it somewhere.

me too! Except I never had a drawing/painting phase. But there are roses all over my brief pottery flirtation, and they are a primary subject of my photography. :)

I have three bushes whose flowers begin one color and morph into another as they open and age. And three that are just beautiful flowers. I reclaimed a garden just so that I could have roses. So now I can have lovely cut roses when I want them AND whenever I walk by the front yard, I can walk over and smell them. because they are lovely.

That must be so wonderful, to have roses whenever you want them! I envy you.
