January, oh January... why are you so rainy?
No, seriously. Why? In case no one told you, it's freakin' winter! Yeah, okay, I only like snow about once or twice a year, but rain? And not like sprinkles either, but we're talking torrential downpours not unlike Noah's flood. And it will not cease to amaze me that the grass is still green here.
I'm not much one for New Year's Resolutions, but there is one thing I'd like to be able to do this year. I want to start a very small, mostly indoor herb garden. Now, you may not know this, but I have a freakin' black thumb. I cannot keep anything that lives in a pot alive unless it is the mold in my toilet. I did have some bamboo for a few months once and it was doing great until 1) the heater started blasting it and 2) nacho ate it. Then it got all yellow, nasty and well, dead.
So the other day I bought the cutest little palm plant thing. Nacho doesn't seem too interested in eating it, so maybe I can actually get it to grow. And in a month or so I'll start growing a few herbs. I figure that it's a pretty cheap and fairly rewarding hobby, so I hope it goes well. And I hope Nacho does not get bored or hungry.
School started today. But of course my classes are all online, so it doesn't really feel like it. Looks like it will all be really easy as long as I don't forget to do stuff.
Cleaned most of the house yesterday, so I'll post a picture of my really ugly golden couch. Notice, if you will, the cute little plant up there on the bar of the kitchen.
