I am making the note to scribble down addresses in my address book as soon as I get them in the email in the future. Going through old emails looking for addresses is annoying. At least I had the sense to star the ones in gmail. I wish I'd thought of flagging the ones in yahoo.
Christmas cheers, everyone!
I went and planted tulips and crocus in the backyard yesterday, having, after surveying the condition of the backyard and my parents, concluded that the low-maintenance wild-flower plan had failed. We got only poppies, calendulas, and alysums and my parents can't weed at all because they can't tell apart what's weed and what isn't, so any of the more delicate species of wild flower is choked out by the likes of bermuda grass before they got over one inch tall.
I fenced off an area in the yard for the bulbs and instructed my parents to pull anything in their that didn't have pointy leaves originating from the marked spots (I planted them in rows and columns, like a matrix).
Dad paid for the bulbs. I think we've established a system where he kills off a few plants that I've left at home, feel guilty, then buys me new plants. It's like a plant trade except with sacrificial plants. ...I'm not really sure what I'm talking about any more so I'll end that thought there.
Finished almost all Christmas shopping today. Going to see Nutcracker for the first time tomorrow afternoon. Still have some cards to fill out and all the stuff needs to be gift-wrapped. And bake cookies. It's the holidays, after all.
