well now we can't be freinds

... K, my beloved husband, just revealed to me that he doesn't like Peonies for our garden because they are "old lady" flowers.

I reminded him that's i'm an old lady and PEONIES AND ROSES FOREVER!! (and tomatoes and herbs of course). fuck outta my garden, go sand some trim or some shit.

Also, my mom it turns out had saved a ton of stuff in preparations for our new house. some of it wasn't quite to my taste* but the more functional things we got from her (including a great coffee table and a bureau with really gorgeous and intricate woodwork that my parents got from the Grandparent's house after they died) so I did not have to buy much.

I was able to show people at work the colors we are painting based on the leftover paint on my arms this morning ... whoops!

*like the silver plate utensils. she has a whole case of the stuff and if there is ONE thing i never want to do ever again it's polish fucking silver!!

shdkasjdaksjhdkadh OMG I can just SEE you and K having that argument. Hahahahah!!

(Sorry, K, I'm on the side of peonies, pansies, and coleus!)

<3!

he likes coleus, it just won't overwinter here* and i'll be damned if i have to replant more than a few herbs and tomatoes every year, so that's out.

*don't anyone suggest we bring it indoors, Elizabeth is hell on plants! We'd have to suspend it Mission Impossible style from the middle of the ceiling and even then i doubt it would take her long to somehow destroy it, that girl can jump!

If you keep using silver, it doesn't polish ;-) Alternatively, tarnished silver looks ye olde fashioned & more goth. That's what I tell myself.

::old-lady bro-fist:: Plus K's taste in landscaping is shit, he'll like what i do once i'm done - i'm not even sure why i consulted him in the first place.

I'm that weirdo that finds polishing silver relaxing and soothing. Like ironing. It's very meditative for me.

PERFECT HOUSEMATE!

My grandmother's china came with a gorgeous, ornate cutlery set. I took one look at it, said "that's beautiful but I'm not polishing silver".

It's not silver, it's stainless steel! So I took it.
