Look Ma It's GROWin!!!



that my dear and not so dear friends, is my tomater plant!!! ok tomato, wanted ya to feel the southern accent. no i don't talk like that. there is no R on tomato! anyhoo, i got this when it was such a young buck. and look only after a few weeks! compost is the bomb i tell ya. it's in a pickle bucket and it's sprouted so much since i got it. the G-man (that's the ex) or dumbass (hey he calls himself that so i can write it here) is growing them and gave me one. well i took two, ya know just in case one didn't make it. i should have taken three. anyhow, my sister has the other one and the wee thing is still so....wee. it also has bugs. she asked me to take it back but i was like NO it's contagious. i told her to get some stuff to kill those buggers, as of yet she hasn't. we'll see if she does (she's like that, waits to do shit then it's too late). in this case if she waits she's gonna kill it. she used to be so responsible, don't know what happened.....anyhoo that's a whole other story. i do have better sun though too. so far no bugs, so until i do it's stayin a loner. hopefully i'll get some nice tomatoes. i'm more of a plant person. i have green plants. never really grew anything edible. so hopefully this will work.

nice massage........weird at first from the dude, cuase i was like "um....where ya goin with those hands buddy"......but hell he saw me buck ass naked since i used the hot tub so whatever. maybe he's gay. that's what i was thinkin....but it was a lot more pressure on the knots in my shoulders than a woman. and i'll say that shit hurt. but it got most of the damn tension out. i carry all of it in my neck and shoulders. i feel like i'm wearing a stone tank top. that's where the tension sits, where a tank top would. oh, then i go off to get my Rx and come back and there's an ambulance and three cops at the place. it's only two houses down from me. i was like "wasn't me!"....kinda funny. now i'm curious as to what happened....

so anyhow, i'm SO excited my 'mater plant is doing well. everyday i hold my breath when i go check on it. i feel like damn mom checkin on her newborn. weird i know since i have no motherly instincts WHATsoever. it's been raining pretty hard during the t-storms and the damn thing has toppled over. i just want to make sure it's not getting drowned. but it seems fine, so i put up the bamboo pole to support it. i hate doing that cause then i don't want it to depend on the pole and not grow a strong stem. my damn corn plant did that (no not corn as in edible corn, corn as in a form of dracaenea plant) and now the damn thing wilts over becuase it relied on the pole. it'll get a stronger stem if it doesn't hit the floor first. i'm jsut pissed because i can't seem to keep ivy. i don't know what the fuck i do. i have an aloe plant, the corn plant and snake plant (or mother-in=-law's tongue). so far so good. the one corn plant died because it traveled just one too many times. went from baltimore to atlanta then atlanta to here. and it couldn't hack it. but i've had these plants since i worked at the psych hospital, i saved them from my old boss who just tossed them in the trash. my mother had killed all my other green ones. i forget what they were. she used to have a green thumb. guess all the alcohol sucked out all the greenness.......

so i hope to add more. i like tropical stuff and it might work here, but the winter will be a bitch. i like the bromeliads, but i am afraid of what might happen in the winter. this place is like an igloo in the winter. have to see.

ok i better get ready for my pizza. i need to let this stupid cat out of the room, it's whining. god they need to go.....
