Got This at The Home Depot

I've never been good with plants, it's true. I even took FFA and that didn't help. I can arrange flowers to look pretty good, even made a really pretty wreath..... but when it comes to growing and keeping plants alive- I struggle. So instead of overcoming that struggle, I'm choosing to go around it....

Good thing I think Cacti are pretty!! (Cacti? Is that correct?) I got one similar to this in the summer, and it's still alive!! So when I someday have a home and yard don't expect much in the way of landscape, some Cacti and pretty rocks will be the extent of my gardening and flower bed planning. And maybe I'll throw in some cool flower pots...

I'm Going To:

A List of My, "Can't Wait To Knit This" Projects:

• Bright, Beautiful Green Baby Sweater with a Yellow Pear!! (How cute would it be to do a Yellow sweater with a Green Partridge on it to match!!)


• Yellow Sweater with a Green Partridge on it ;)


• Chocolate Brown Bunny with Sweet Pink Ears.


• Chunky White hat with Bright Pink Ear Flaps in the shape of hearts for February. Maybe Cherry Red Trim on those Hearts.......


• Apple Washcloths


• Boy Chicken to go with my Girl Chicken.... she seems lonely


• 2 More pigs and I am done with my 3 little Pigs playset, (why have I not finished them already????)

Grateful for You

I have so many great people in my life that I am grateful for, I have the biggest friend collection around. :) Friends I live with that I call Family. Friends I work with; Grown Up and Pint Sized. Friends I see lots and friends I see occasionally. This post is for you, you lucky people I call friends...... lucky or unlucky BWAH HA HA!!

I wish I could name every person I love and their amazing qualities (which is why I'm friends with them, because who wants to be friends with a stick in the mud?) But I can't so if you aren't on here I'm sorry and maybe I catch you in Grateful for You part TWO!!

Brittany Hammond: She once told me that whoever I ended up marrying is going to be the luckiest guy ever and probably won't deserve me (because I was telling her about making bread or something silly like that) yeah the more I think about it the more I realize that statement is meant for her. This girl is always happy, always positive, always sweet and just a joy to be around. Who wouldn't want to be around a sunny, positive person.

Mindy Singleton: Man I love chatting with this real life Barbie. She reminds me of my fun cousins, the ones who you feel like the popular kid when you are with them. So glad I know this mom and get to take care of her sweet little girl. (sweet until she decides to give you "the glare") something she reserves for certain boys. I think she is on to something though, those boys work REALLY hard to win her love...... hmmm, note to self.

Michaela: My black sister who isn't really black but everyone thinks she is. Seriously she has been asked my many if she is black, or what race she is. LOVE her, we can bond over knitting or cats (because we are 80 years old) Big Bang Theory, cute boys, Psych, the Middle, basically any show that is funny. Love hearing her boy drama and bragging about her running skills...... yeah this girl can RUN!! Love ya sis!!

Rynn: Little girl in my daycare who I hope my future daughter will be just like. She dresses in crazy outfits; i.e. black boots, pink tutu and big read t-shirt. She runs into things a lot (this is so me and I figure my poor future kids may well inherit my graceful-ness) but this girl is tough (something I wish I was) and very sweet.

This is it for now, maybe I'll do part 2 someday.
