Updates, Comments & General Pissiness

My breakfast.  I opened another container of Publix Rich & Creamy coffee creamer (the new "improved" version) and it clumped in the very hot coffee.  I had to stir and press the lumps around until they had dissolved.  My coffee isn't rich or creamy.  The blue lidded stuff was most excellent.  The gold lidded stuff is CRAP. Crap which I bought and had shipped to me.

G drove all the way to the take out place last night and realized as he was opening the door to the restaurant, to place the order, that he didn't have his wallet.  So he drove back home empty handed and we both stared into the refrigerator, looking for something to eat.  G had the remains of his Chicken Marsala.  I had a sandwich.  And two Tootsie Rolls.

Reading the blog of a new mom (OMG is she whiny with the new religion of motherhood) who now admits that her baby has been screaming with colic or acid reflux for 3 weeks 24/7.  Breastfeeding.  And every picture of her and baby includes a large Starbucks coffee cup.  It ain't rocket science you idiot.  Stop Drinking Coffee!!!!!!  I read this blog just to see how horrible life could be if she lived next door to me or was related to me or if I actually cared about her "biz" or "love" or "truth".  She makes her living on her blog and is always "selling" something.  She even asks for only "happy thoughts" comments.  So I couldn't send my comment directly to her.

Gema also wrote in the comments to tell me she has new RED CROCS.  I immediately went to the Crocs website to look at the Bistro shoe she recommends and I can order white, black or pink.  UGH!  I search by color and I can order the Classic in red but they last about 3 or possibly 4 months on the cement greenhouse floors and then I am a "slip and fall" accident waiting to happen.  And if I don't actually fall down, I pee my pants.

It's getting more difficult to figure out which of these paragraphs is the "general pissiness" isn't it? LOL.

Riley is putting himself to bed (actually going to our bedroom to sleep rather than sleep with us in the television watching area as usual) earlier each evening.  Last night he was trying to encourage G to go with him. It was fun to watch his silent communication techniques. I think he is now afraid of the television.  Or more likely the little DVD drawer that opens and closes when I was watching Fringe.  I'm no longer watching DVD's but he still thinks the drawer might open so he has to go somewhere else to sleep.  Same with the door to the kitchen.  Riley has to walk all the way around the house to get to the other side of that particular door.  No amount of treating or sweet talk can change his mind.  G and I miss his snoring and dream woofing / running already and it's only been two evenings.

Work again today and I think I threw away a customer's dead orchid yesterday.  I have been wondering how to deal with it.  I'll start with an apology.  I did tell her I didn't think it would live with no roots but she wanted it repotted anyway, took it home and then must have brought it back and left it, without a note, on the side work shelf.  Where any number of near dead things sit on a daily basis and which I throw away on a daily basis.  Habit.  So it's gone now.  I just have to wait and see how she handles the news.  Another customer's Passion Flower cutting all died.  I said they might.  But the divided and repotted parts (with roots) are doing very well.  She visited the greenhouse yesterday to report the death of all the cuttings and to remove a price sticker from the seat of my pants.

$32.99.  I was SKU'd as a Gardenia.

Edit:  My email address is changing to jsuley@comcast.net.  All emails will be forwarded in case you use the old address.  So no worries for the next few months.
