Doesn't that just figure...

6:25 at the end of a holiday weekend and I finally perk up. Also! My new desk setup is all set up. What I need now is plants. More plants. BIG PLANTS

Love Mad Men. I've seen all the seasons but the first and we're starting inion that now. Up to ep 4.

Home Depot or Lowe's are decent for plants.

I am on Season 2. Had no idea I would like this so much. Oh this is episode 9. Marilyn Monroe is dead! EEEK!

My parents used to smoke constantly but they stopped when I was born for some reason I have no idea.

[alba17]

It took me awhile to get used to the pacing of it, which is kind of slow, but I grew to love it. There are just so many levels to each episode. Plus there are definite moments of nostalgia for me.

My dad smoked when I was a kid.

I couldn't stop watching last night! Darn addicting show makes me sit and watch when I should've been doing other things. OH WELL. Now that I live alone, there is no one but me to fuss at me, right?

I know a lot of people make cuttings without asking of plants they like...

Otherwise, maybe Freecycle?

[paragraphs]

Hmmm Freecycle! Hello there btw! And yes on cuttings - my co worker has some amazing plants she is going to take cuttings of this winter but it will take forever for them to grow.

I will check out Freecycle. Thank you!

Freecycle - I got rid of a whole bunch of plants I needed to pull out this spring that way. It was fantastic. Worth a try.

[paragraphs]

I will! I will sneak on in a few minutes... :)

I am so sorry about your mom. I dread losing mine. (she'll be 81 in November, and is trying to retire from work.)

Mad Men is best watched in swoops--each season is an arc, the episodes like chapters.

[paragraphs]

Well I just broke my rule about only watching one or two. LOL. I have to see what happens (episode 2-9, the 'Marilyn Monroe dies') episode. And thank you. Feel the same about my dad. :(

She is still working at 81? :( Unless of course she has loved what she does. Then go her!!

[sartorias]

She can't afford not to, alas.

Oh, so you're in season one? It does get much better.

[paragraphs]

No, two. Watching 2-10! :)

:( As a single woman, I wonder if I will ever get to retire (even though I get my spouse's Lockheed pension in a few years, it is not enough to live on).

So very tired myself, but hello. Look at you getting all organized. Does anyone in your office have plants. I've got most of my plants from clippings of the ladies I used to work with.

[paragraphs]

Yes! all three of my plants in my office ARE clippings and I was just looking at them all, thinking hmmm... could use a haircut, couldn't you...

We used to keep trimmings in water here but little bugs started to move in.

I am aces at organizing! But not so aces in utilizing all the finished organized things. LOL.

OMG, I love this desk so much! It actually looks quite like mine (at least functionally--mine is wooden), it's also got that pull-out shelf thing for the keyboard. :D Yay for creating writing spaces! Will you be doing NaNoWriMo this year? :D? *huggles* ♥ ♥
