Just Call Me Mrs. Green Thumb!

I love my potted plants!  Does that make me an old lady already?  I don't care if it does because look what my little green thumb has accomplished:

Before

After

My flowers are just growing and blooming away!

House Plant Crazy!

So after buying my bromeliad plant, I have now gotten a little plant crazy.  I researched flowering houseplants and came upon African Violets.  So, I got myself down to Lowe's and bought 2 of them! They seem a little complicated to take care of, but I'm challenging myself to keep them alive and growing.

Today I tried a new restaurant that I had never heard of before. It is called the Trolley Stop Market near the UT Memphis campus.

They have daily lunch specials, sandwiches, salads, and pizza.  It was really good and a really cute restaurant. I love trying new places!  Other than that, nothing too exciting today besides my new plants!

New Addition to Our Family!

We are now the proud owners of a house plant that I have affectionately named "Bromie".

I have never owned a potted plant in my life, so this should be interesting!  My husband and I were shopping at Lowe's for "guy stuff" when I saw this beautiful plant.  The word "resilient" jumped out at me on its tag, and I knew we were meant to be! It is a bromeliad plant, hence the name "Bromie"- very clever, I know.  Pineapples are actually in the bromeliad family- who knew?  I know nothing about plants, so poor Bromie is doomed from the start.  Hopefully, though, she'll make it through!

On another topic, I completely got dissed by some girl named "Heather" at Sephora.  I was trying to remember what color of foundation that I used in the past when I wore Bare Escentuals.  She said "You're definitely 'fair'." To which I replied "Well, I think that I initially bought the 'fair', and then took it back to get the 'light'." She then dissed me by saying "Well if you wore anything other than the 'fair', then you didn't wear it well!" Well, thankyouverymuch Miss Heather.  I think I'll come back another day and get the LIGHT! Just kidding.... but really. Some people!
