There is a season

I've been bad about posting lately. I know. I have no good excuse, I just have been lazy. In every sense of the word. Physically lazy and mentally lazy. I've been giving all of my good energy to work, and all that's left of me is a sleepy hull of a person.

I won't be like this for too much longer. My huge event that I am planning will be over after May 15th. So only two more weeks of lazy Alex.

In non-lazy news, my mother and I planted pretty flowers today. Flowers that we will most likely kill. But we're thinking positive. As we left the store with our cart full of plants my mom looked down and said "This looks like a cart full of death to me."

My boss bought me a plant (a money tree) a few months ago to thank me for my great work (I know, she's awesome). At first it grew so well. Then, one of the stalks got root rot. I'm familiar with the disease because I lose a lot of plants to root rot. I removed the infected stalk and continued to love and pamper the remaining tree. Last week another stalk went down. Most money trees have 5 stalks (mini trees?), braided together. Mine has 3 left and it looks anemic. My boss looked at the tree and said, "Wow. This plant is dying. You really do have a black thumb."

Poor tree. I'm a killer. The black death of horticulture.

That's what it used to look like. Sigh. Anyway, mom and I are hopeful about the new plants. We only bought plants labeled "hardy" and "drought resistant."

I really need one that says "plant killer resistant" but I don't think they make those yet.

That's all from me.
