Today I watched the first episode of Survivor: Micronesia. It was hilarious. Utterly hilarious.
I also went to the store and bought two birthday presents for family members, some sushi, some chocolate, and of course… a flower for myself. If someone gets me something for Valentine’s day, that’s awesome. Otherwise, I have this little vision of loveliness sitting by my side:
Isn’t it beautiful? Look at the color! It’s a pretty little mini iris. I wanted to look into forcing mini bulbs and growing tiny container gardens, but Trader Joes did the forcing work for me and now all I have to do is try to nurture this lovely little plant. Not that this will be easy. I have kind of a black thumb. But I figured, why get a bouquet of flowers that will fade within days instead of a lovely flower that I can have around for months? How could I pass up something so lovely?
Tomorrow’s bento is not nearly as exciting or colorful. I mean, some of it is red. But that’s it.
Top: McDonalds BBQ sauce for the chicken, grape tomatoes, and Babybel cheese. Bottom: chicken drummettes from TJs, mashed potatoes.
I know, not an exciting bundle of variety. But good enough, I say. Good enough for one day.
Tonight I will learn mom’s secret recipe for Chicken and Dumplings. Victory!
I’m also calling the number on the for rent sign for the duplex I drive by every day. I may not move till May, but I’d like to check this place out.
