I missed my mom.



Whaaaaah!!

It's been two weeks since my last blog post and it's weird that it coincides with my mom's spring break absence. She came back last night and during our short phone conversation she was able to adequately guilt me into starting up my writing again.

Actually, I didn't feel that bad about it. It would take a lot of guilt to actually motivate me to do something and between you and me, I can handle A LOT of guilt. So I guess it's just nice to have my biggest fan back in town. Alas and alak - my public needs me!

As you may have noticed the picture at the top of this post, I must inform you that the cutie-pie little shamrock that was the rockstar of my very first post had a near death experience not three days after it came into my home. I have to admit, my self esteem was a little rocked. With this in mind, I would like to bestow a little nugget of wisdom that I have gained during this experience:

Plants need water.

So when you have a little plant, in a little container, it just will not do to leave for three days without taking your little green friend with you. However, I am happy to report that Sham is making a come-back and has been transplanted into a bigger pot and stuck in the back yard. I will let nature take care of the rest.

With this mini-disaster christening my season, my motivation and enthusiasm seemed to wane. In addition, I have a few other excuses that have suited the purpose of justifying my procrastination quite nicely:

1. My yard looks like a wasteland.

2. My living room looks like a wasteland.

3. This weather SUCKS!

But excuses aside, mother earth waits for no one. I'm not going to let a little mud and mess unnerve me and squash my dreams! So tomorrow, strawberries!

It's good to have you home Mom!
