Plants, Life and Shopping

So, it's been awhile, sorry... Update: I have a temp job lined up to start next monday and a lead on a permanent job too. It's just nice to know that finally, I will start getting paychecks again. Other than the horrible snow incident last week, Calgary has been pretty nice, everything really green. Gotta take advantage as our "green season" seems to last for 6weeks before everything is brown again. But, not on our deck!! J and I went happy plant shopping the other day, and then he surprised me with even more yesterday! I love plants. Here's some really bad pics as all I have is a webcam...

So, the two on the left are in hanging pots, and the white one on the right was my Grandma's baking tin. There's lots more pots, but hey, a taste!

Then, yesterday, my friend Vantica and I went to the Lilac Festival downtown on 4th, had a BLAST! We saw Dan the One Man Band, a Capoeira demo and, amazingly enough, in the First Baptist Church a group of people playing songs on handbells! Ya, crazy, I know. But very cool, very cool. AND the best part being: new jewelry!

Errr, I mean, hanging with my friend...of course...

Ok, so, other than that, J's bro came for a visit, met some really cool new people, had a wickid BBQ, pub times, shopping, discovered Recordland in Inglewood, even went to a club! I know, unheard of! But, it was fun...

I love your flowers too. I only have one hanging basket so far and a broken camera so I can't show you yet...Don't let the 4 year old walk away with the camera

While the plants are beautiful, they don't look like happy plants to me. Didn't you say you went happy plant shopping? Don't happy plants have long pointy leaves, and you buy 'em in an alley somewhere? Maybe I'm confused.

Oh yeah, congrats on the job, what will you be doing?

ok I know you think your life is boring but it's really not.
A blog is about letting others in on your personal insights. You must have more insights than you share... have you gone people watching yet?
