China Cabinet

On Monday we went to London to James' Mom's house to pick up this china cabinet. Her parents are moving in with her and she has to get rid of furniture. We brought it home and put it in the the living room. I polished it and put crap on it yesterday. It looks very good. I think the plant has found a new home. He seems pretty happy up there, he is able to stretch out.

One Year Anniversary!!

Monday was James and I's one year anniversary! It doesn't feel like it has been a year, seems like only yesterday we were going to Nirvana for our "first date". James bought me this plant and a card. What a sweet guy!

Check out my green thumb!!

Turns out that I have had a green thumb all along. I have always thought that I am a bad cook and a plant killer. I killed a cactus once! How? I over loved it, too much water. But this plant, it was a little piece that a friend of ours broke off the dying plant and stuck in a glass of water. It sat in the water for a long time, then one day I said, "Krista, let's plant this!". So I did. I stuck it in a glass planter with some dirt that James had in the basement. I got discouraged because it wasn't doing well, the dirt was really watery and the plant didn't seem to be growing roots. I took the plant and dirt out of the planter, threw some glass beads in and spread them out on the bottom, then stuck the plant back in with a little more dirt. And Ta-friggin'-Daa!! The plant has now gone from one sprig of dying to a beautiful healthy plant!! So I am more capable than I ever gave myself credit for, it is amazing what you can do with a little time!!
