My birthday is on February 23. On the 23rd of each month, I share a couple of random things about myself. For the month of April, here 'tis!
I had “twins” for extra credit in science class one time.
In the seventh or eighth grade, we had the opportunity to
carry around a blown-out eggshell “baby” for extra credit. It seems like we had to keep a diary of the
egg’s whereabouts, and I distinctly remember having to find a “sitter” during
PE class. I hadn’t thought about it in
eons, but I recently recalled that I made not one, but TWO, eggshell babies for
the project. I didn’t get double the
credit…but they did look super sweet, sitting side-by-side. Feels kinda prophetic...although I should note that I have never shoved my actual babies into a locker.
I don’t enjoy gardening.
I love having pretty flowers around the house, but I just
don’t like planting them. I don’t enjoy
the bending…the weeding…the digging…it’s just.not.me. It’s one of those things I feel like I should
enjoy, but I don’t. Once upon a time, I
did enjoy watering, but now even that is a chore I relegate as best I can. You might guess we have mostly greenery and
perennials at our house.
For the sake of the girls, though, I try to fake it here and there...I orchestrated them planting petunias last year, and they did look awfully cute in their gardening gloves. Hmmm...maybe if THEY like to garden, I just might have those pretty annuals one day!

Oh, sister to my soul. I remember carrying around my eggshell baby, too. I only carried one, though. ;) Did you know that nowadays they have 'robot' dolls that cry and have to be fed/diapered/napped on a schedule or they freak out. Haha!
And, I truly have a brown thumb. The girls make fun of me often for how I kill plants. I don't feel that bad... I keep two very pretty little people growing and thriving. And so do you.
LOL i actually came across a post of mine recently (in that link thing at the bottom) where i spoke about how I kill plants.....
:)
ME TOO!!! i LOVE the look, but I hate the maintenance and the weeding!!! I keep thinking that maybe I'll come to love it???
