I wish I could have plants, but I keep on making them die by just looking at them it seems XD
I’m just lurking here to get some proxy spending-money-adrenaline as your girl is too broke to buy shit herself 😅

I started with plants that are difficult to kill and worked my way up. Also, not buying plants at Ikea improved the survival rate. Even though I still have two I bought ages ago, but it's a bit of a roulette.

Paul McCartney's The Lyrics book. It was pricey but I told myself I would get it if I had money leftover after last payday, and I did

We used to inspect plants at ikea & weirdly they do buy them from the same suppliers as other retail outlets; I wonder if how they are kept in store is the key? Those shops are way too hot so it they don’t water them properly they are on their way to dead before you even buy them. I am very happy to say my pay rise is winging it way to my back account…. I plan to buy some coving & mitred corners for my office. How’s that for an extravagance???

We're expecting a snow storm, so I filled up the gas tank, bought some crab cakes, potato salad, mac salad, lasagna, stuffed shells and veal parm for the weekend. I also bought a roast beef sandwich and fries for my dinner tonight.

New sunglasses now that Lasik got rid of my glasses. I never wore sunglasses because it was too much hassle to 1) get Rx sunglasses, and 2) take off my regular ones and switch them out. The style name is Jackie Ohhh

^ Oh that's not my place, it's the store I bought it from. I've been looking at it for a month or so. I don't know where I'm gonna put him but I had to have him. The store is called Found and it's in Goshen, IN. I will be making a road trip sometime soon to pick him up. Check them out on FB they have some awesome finds. p.s. I do have a love for funky colorful art pieces and this guy will fit right in. I'm really excited! I can't believe there's a place like this in Goshen, IN. They're like Amish country.

Yeah it's in downtown Goshen from what I understand. A friend of mine has been there and posted their page on FB, so I started following the page. I bought another item from them last year and they shipped it to me but his one is big and we both think it's better if I come pick him up. It will give me an excuse to go check them out. I think maybe I should take the pickup truck lol.

Then I'll tell you and only you that I watched The Get Back movie on Hulu (free trial) 3 times. That's 3 individual times. Like 21 hours worth. I need to own it. New sunglasses now that Lasik got rid of my glasses. I never wore sunglasses because it was too much hassle to 1) get Rx sunglasses, and 2) take off my regular ones and switch them out.

same used to happen to me, so i'll give you a tip that works when you also have 0 money to spend: i started growing avocados in water from the pit whenever i ate one. then i got my confidence level up so i started propagating other plants in water. there are easy ones, just ask a friend that could give you a cutting and try to grow it yourself.
i've been trying different ones and it is slow but the ones that survive (LOL) are the ones i'm sticking with. i'm still learning, i just moved one of my dying plants to another shelf and it seems to like it better there, and it is growing new leaves.

My husband used to call a grouping of my plants death row.
He wasn't wrong.
