    I havent tried getting an orchid to bloom. I dont think I could do it.

    My rave today is my experience with Amazon. I bought a watch from Amazon.

    The last time I bought a watch I had to go to a big box store and take what they had. This time I could choose exactly what I wanted which was the absolute stripped-down model of big face watch.

    One of the groups I follow calls it "autocarrot." Apt.

    I didn't do anything except repot it and water it, so I wish I could take credit, but I can't. My mom used to grow orchids and every day she would put them in the kitchen sink and water them with the sprayer, so I do that, but not every day--more like 3-4 times a week, maybe?

    I was shocked because it was so pitiful when I got it. I got another too, but it died.

    The emptiness and lack of lines in the grocery store on Black Friday.

    My family and I went to see the Anthropocene exhibit at the Art Gallery of Ontario yesterday. It is very well done and presented a unique photographic including videos view of the impact of human activity on our earth.

    After that, the four of us moved to Grange across the road for a bite to eat enjoying a delicious and filling Thai dish each with the total bill $29.28.
    Will return there another time.

    So thrilled! I'm in San Diego working, and I spoke with DH last night on our nightly on-the-road call. He called me back a few minutes later--I figured he forgot to tell me something. He had just gotten off the phone with our son, who had reported that my DDIL is pregnant!

    What makes this particularly exciting is that they had a very difficult time getting pregnant the first time around and had to go to IVF, which worked. But this was a totally unexpected event!! They did the pregnancy test 3 times and couldn't believe it, so she went to the doctor and he confirmed it.

    Their son was born only last May, so this baby will be very close in age, much like my 3rd and 4th--(very similar situation--I, too, was taken by surprise).

    I'm so happy for them.

    That is a wonderful call to get.
