May. 31st, 2004 07:30 amI put my plant in the boardroom over the weekend, in the window, to get lots of sun. Someone lowered the blinds and didn't care that my plant was in the way. Fortunately, only one stem was broken, but - Grrrr! Silly cyclamen's been blooming steady for a year now. I don't understand - suddenly, I have somewhat of a green thumb.
I did try to kill my ivy & violet last year by putting it on the balcony for sun. I know it's an African violet, but there wasn't enough sun inside the apartment... It got spider mites. We didn't see until I took it back to my mother's to sit on the dishwasher in the bay window. Somehow, though, although we were too late to "save" the ivy, once Mom cut away the dying stems, the silly thing started growing again. I keep saying I'm going to write a story about two friends named Ivy & Violet.
After spending a frightful amount of money on tea over the weekend, I forgot to bring any to work. At least I have some teabags here, rather than having to resort to the dusty stale Red Rose crap. (Heh heh, Maral said it was "harlot tea, because it's loose". I may never think about looseleaf tea the same way again.)
