Green thumb

A couple weeks ago I pruned back my office plant rather heavily. It's a golden pothos -- it'll take over the whole place unless I prune it! Glen, across the hall, mentioned that he wanted a plant like this, so I put all the cuttings in water.

They've had nice healthy-looking roots now for a few days! This is so cool! So I put them all in his flowerpot today. And I took some new cuttings for Dianna, who mentioned that she wanted a plant like this. :-)

I hear golden pothos is very easy to keep alive and to reproduce from cuttings. So no wonder it's working out. I'm enjoying the illusion that I have a green thumb!

winter coat

Last winder I ordered a Mountain HardWear Sub Zero down parka. It has a few features I really wanted: a hood, length sufficient to cover my butt, and WARMTH. My sister says she is never cold in this coat.

The only downsides were that you couldn't find it any more that season, so I'd have to wait, and it was only made in men's sizes... like most decent outdoor gear. (I SWEAR I am going to refuse to reincarnate without a good promise that I'll be human sized next time around.)

Well... this season's supply is gearing up, and I HAVE MY COAT! It arrived yesterday. Purrrrrr. Yes, a men's small is tentlike on me. But hey. It's WARM. Purrrrr!
