Work's too bloody hard
It's been an eventful weekend. I started the weekend Friday night by going for dinner with two of the women from my writing group, which was really nice. We had excellent food and good conversation, ranging from makeup to writing and movies and books and it was a lot of fun.
Saturday my brother came home from school for spring break, and I had to go to the bank and then I stopped by a local business that was closing to take advantage of the sale and wish the owner well in her next endeavor. The business is a tea house that I spent many memorable outings at and I have known the owner for quite some time. I came away from that visit with a beautiful tea pot with camellias and bees on it. It is a very me tea pot.
Today I went to the Philadelphia Flower Show with my parents. I ended up with a lovely new orchid, which I will take a picture of and post as soon as the flower opens. I also ended up with a cute owl pendant, which I need another owl thing like I need a hole in the head, but whatever. It's cute and I love it. And the show was awesome. Not my very favorite, but there were lots of cool things to see. It was very tropical, as was appropriate, considering this year's theme was Hawaii. There were lots of heliconias, and proteas, and orchids.
And now, I am working on edits for the pages I have to read at my writing group tomorrow, because I have to read. No more chickening out because I'm not brave enough to actually do this. Gah. I hate reading unfinished things.

Mean Things: fretting for friends, jealousy, fighting
Darling: "I know," he snapped, "and me and Robbie, and Adrian and Ben, and how the hell is any of it fucking fair?" He wouldn't even glance at her as he pulled into the police station. "But none of it excuses cruelty."
And back to the edits, but I'll leave you with a photo from the show. Here, have a wall made of different types of lettuce.
