We're going to HAWAII !!!

My website got hacked by some porn promoter.  That sucks...   I just went to it to see if it was still there.  For a second I wasn't sure I had paid my bill (but I did, I remember now).  Nothing showed up on the page, so I looked at the code. There are a bunch of porn links inserted between my style tags.  Lucky for me they don't display properly ( Read more... )

Today is the first day in several weeks that I have not been (too) sick and/or had commitments or crazy amounts of laundry to do.  I am going outside to play, and I doubt I will stop playing until dark.  I have so many wonderful plants to put in the ground.  The garden is really looking great, and I am going to have fun fun fun!  Maybe I will even ( Read more... )

Had to call off from work this morning.  (And I was going to finish organizing the tags today!)  Went to see the doctor amid fears I might possibly have contracted the flu AGAIN.  Achy, sore throat, slight fever, sinus congestion, coughing, watery eyes, etc.  My doctor wasn't working today, so I saw a different doctor, and I REALLY liked her.  Of ( Read more... )

Sunshine, where are you?  I put off doing the gardening I was going to do yesterday because I thought I was going to be working in the afternoon, and now it is cold and drizzly.  This calls for a list.  Targeted garden intervention ( Read more... )

The cash register is slowly bending to my will.  The stapler and I still have some issues to work through though.  Otherwise, I have felt right at home at the nursery.  What a great feeling!  Two eight hour days have left my feet sore, but not sore enough to keep me from offering to fill in this afternoon.  The only thing I haven't enjoyed is ( Read more... )

I get to start my new job this week! I go to work on Tuesday (April Fool's?), and I can't wait. I can't wait to be surrounded by those plants and plant people. I can't wait to expound upon the attributes of pulmonarias and brunneras and other wonderful shade perennials with anyone who walks in the door. I need to learn more about hebes and ( Read more... )

Starting on 3/31, I will be working for Emerald City Gardens: http://www.emeraldcitygardens.com/
