puppies and garfunkel sundays
May. 29th, 2006 01:41 pmMy parents and my sister came to visit yesterday. Yay! They even brought the dog! Yay, yay, yay! Every time I see my family I realize more and more that they are the most absolutely insane and wonderful people I know. Gosh, I love 'em.
They took me plant/mop&broom shopping since there are certain things that I just don't feel confident carrying on my bike or even on the bus. I purchased over seventy dollars worth of stuff at Home Depot yesterday on various things and I still don't quite know why. I did resist buying case upon case of their blow-out-sale bottled water, contrary to everyone else in the store it seemed. Seriously, those people were stocking up like the wells had dried up, and I wanted to yell out 'IT COMES FROM YOUR TAP, PEOPLE, WATER IS FREE! FREE! PASS IT ON, YUPPIES!!' but I resisted.
I did, however, get myself an over-the-railing plant holder (that does not, however, fit over my current railing) which I've made into my new Urban Herb Garden: parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, along with spearmint, lavender, basil, oregano and more. Hanging over my herb garden is also a lovely flowering nasturtium, the lovely edible peppery plant. My balcony is now colourful, smelly, and awesome with plant life! Now I just hope I don't kill them.
Oh! Oh! And Casey (the dog, see above) got to stay for a sleepover! She's currently passed out soundly on the floor, in front of the oscillating fan. She's been wonderful and well-behaved and hasn't shit/pissed/puked on my floor once! She's the most awesomest dog ever and I forgot how much I missed her sweetness. We go for walks around the neighbourhood, proudly, and she follows me everywhere, slobbering, and cuddles and snuggles and WOW, wow wow I need a freaking dog NOW!
