So totally random but its good news to me:)

I LOVE how gardens can be neglected and left to their own devices for so long and still come back to life. We bought this house 10 years ago this month....all that was left of gardens were bulbs, irises a lilac, and some roses. Over the years, as we have flushed the gardens out its amazing the things that are coming back.

Last year a peony came back from a spot that had been nothing for who knows how long. I also divided a huge bed of irises. Last spring I was shocked to see that besides just the purple irises, once I moved them around and spaced them out, there were white ones as well. I didnt get them all in and saved a bunch of the rhizomes for the whole season....not expecting much I planted them last fall. Now I have them all coming up and even more varieties are showing up....a yellow one is getting ready to bloom now.

I agree! My aloe garden suffered badly over the winter and it's amazing how fast it sprung back with a little plant food, water and lots of praying.

I would love to see some pics :)

I may get a new (to me) car soon!!!! So excited :D

Have two options: '07 Civic and '06 Civic... both for a really good price considering they don't have many miles on them and have been taken care of.

Going to apply for a share account with my dad to see what I can get for a loan.

What what!!!!

I am now the new owner of a brand new shiny galaxy S 5. I have only had it for like ... an hour but I already LOVE it!!! The bigger screen makes typing much easier. Glad I switched, I wish I would've done it sooner!

The only thing is I can't figure out how to get the apps to work, I want to download some free ones but it says it doesn't have a connection or whatever :/.

I have a question about this! Can you go get a loan for a car that isn't at a dealership? Like a used car on craigslist or something? I really want to loan like $5,000 for a used car but I don't really want to go through a dealership/used car lot/whatever.

Also congrats!! :D

You can get loans through your bank.

You betcha - going through your bank is almost always the better option too!

Already answered but yep you can! Actually my first car choice in through a private seller. I really love and want this car, so I hope it doesn't sell before I can get it!

The neck hug at night and the new food routine seem to be making a difference! No regurge! Yey!

Also good news, because if blending the solid food works out well, then that will really save on my dog food bill. A $50 a month total food bill will be so much better than $110.

I got the job! :D

Wish me luck! Not a ton of hours for now, but that's okay. I'm just happy to have my foot in the door somewhere!

I cleaned ALL THE THINGS. My apartment was a complete pit (like...can't see the table through all the stuff kind of pit), and with the exception of vacuuming and cleaning the carpets (which will start in about an hour), THE WHOLE APARTMENT IS CLEAN! CLEAN! CLEAN!

Now I just need to get back to my setting an alarm and cleaning for half an hour a day routine and maybe I can keep it that way for once!

Yay! Such a great feeling. :)

I don't even clean for a half hour each day. I just pick a task to do when I get home from work like swiffering the floor or picking up dog poop. Each thing only takes like 5-10 minutes and it's much easier than trying to squeeze in as much cleaning as you can. There's a finish that way.
