Willow ,'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
A group of women at school gave us an orchid. I've never had an orchid before, but I've always thought of them as high maintenance plants. Is it wise to give two people who are incredibly distracted by Other Things a plant that is easy to kill?
Roman at least will force us to get home at reasonable hours and he's at least snuggly.

Sometimes enthusiasm overtakes logic, which is why every group needs a Captain Sanity in their tugboat.
We don't have one of those in the LAista tugboat.
And the Chicagoistas don't have a cat herder. Maybe we need a Buffista exchange program.

Kat, I've heard that keeping them in a warm place with lots of indirect sunlight and using a tray of pebbles that you can pour water over to keep the air around the orchid humid is the best bet short of a hothouse.
The Wild Oats Market has them for $17, so I'm thinking of getting one myself and putting it on my round coffee table instead of the current candles and piles of assorted videotapes.
Matt, I read your post twice and thought you were talking about Grace and Noah.
You weren't kidding about the tugboat, Allyson.
Kat, I'm glad you have Roman and am right there with you on the orchid. I'm not bad at gardening, but have inherited my mother's black thumb, when it comes to even hardy houseplants. Just reading, "orchid," or "African violet," makes me feel like a killer.
Well, I added Kat's quote for clarity, but I did mention the orchid in the first sentence of the original post.
Besides, what are the odds of me considering the purchase of a baby, no matter how big a discount the market was giving?
oooh! thanks for the advice Matt. That will be a weekend project. My cell phone, brand new, is all fritzy which of course pisses me off. stupid cell phone! Must resolve that today.
Babies for $17 would be a total discount. In the short term. the long term expenses are killer.
I'm intrigued by the idea of keeping a baby in a tray of pebbles....
