Hee. I should tell my mom to bring my grandmother's pearls. What shape are pashimas anyway?

Why does Michael McManus (on very very old eps of the long ago show Forever Knight) seem so familiar? It's bugging me. He seems really really familiar. And kinda hot.

So you'll need a stake or trellis that's three feet tall, and you'll need a bigger pot.

I have a stake/trellis thing that is about three feet tall. I just need to get a bigger pot to the plant in, and then plant it deep. I figure that it might take me a week and the gallon thing and being outside must be nicer for the plant than the itty container it came in and sitting in my kitchen. So long as I get tomatoes out of the deal. Thanks!

Is mint the one that takes over everything?

It can. I tried to get it to grow into shrubs in a few spots and it balked but others have grown profusely. Then again, I like mint. It's pretty and smells good when it grows.

It is growing nicely with some lisanthiums now and not taking over but maybe the lizzy is just aggresive too.

In my defense, the basil was killed when I clipped all of its leaves for pesto

I think this is how I killed my sage. It was just that the butternut squash ravioli were so nummy in a butter sage sauce...

What shape are pashimas anyway?

They're long retangular wraps. I've actually found decent pashminas in airport general stores, of all places. Not super-high-quality, but nice and they don't fall apart ever.

Hmmm. I didn't think of blue. That could work too. Must ponder.

Wedding is first weekend in August. I'm actually flying through Mnnpls (and somewhere in Ohio, I think) but there's only enough time to switch planes.

Should I plant the tomato in a big pot or can I attempt to put it in the really bad soil around here?

My dad found a really cool way of planting tomotoes in a hanging basket. You cut a hole out of the bottom and plant it upside down so the plant part hangs out the bottom. Works really well.

Perkins, were you able to get in touch with Sparky? Does she know about the Alaska Disasta?

Bored bored bored. Got my hair trimmed, am de-oranging it, and am soooo bored.

I may start making up more portmanteau pairings of doom.

---

Plei, yes she does. She is planning on seeing you tomorrow, one way or another.

Do you want her phone number?

If Pink ain't your thang (I never wear it myself), look for a stong but contrasty color, like red or robin's egg blue or the right shade of turquoise.

---

Perkins, I've got it somewhere, I think.

Very good ideas! Thanks! And it save me from my predictable black or red (which I really like, but...predictable for me.) Blues of various ilk hadn't occurred, but I like.
