Our House

The other day i did something that, at 46, i had never done before.

i bought dishes and silverware.  New.  Not because i needed them, but because i wanted them.  OK, it's only 3 pasta bowls (they didn't have a 4th one) and silverware (settings for 6) but i got them cause i wanted to!  Because i have decided that eating out of pasta bowls is the funnest thing on earth.  They're very similar to these.  i LOVE the squareness of them, and though i don't mind that they're white, i'd love to find some in colors and designs.

i'm resisting the urge to donate all of my plates and bowls, and have ONLY pasta bowls and maybe bread plates.  And the silverware is real (well...stainless steel real) as opposed to my usual utensil set which have bright red plastic for handles.

i also bought a few more house plants, this time sticking with more hardy greenery, like a snake plant and some ivy.  Hopefully i wont kill these like i did the last few i bought.  A cactus.  i killed a cactus.  2 actually.  Killed'em dead.  Quickly.

my ability to keep house plants alive is just as good as my ability to cook.
