lazy days

my wedding china arrived a few weeks ago. and so of course i had to find a cabinet to put it in. after a week of searching, we decided on one and last friday it arrived. it was a little bigger than expected, so we had to rearrange some furniture but i think it looks pretty good. i was also able to put table cloths and some dishes in it so on the whole the apartment is better organized.
josh's seedlings didn't do very well, so we went to the garden center to find some herbs and flowers. i was really tempted by the orchids, but thought i could kill a $6 plant just as easily as a $40 one. so we ended up with mint, rosemary, basil, and coriander for our little herb garden (the last two from seeds!). deciding on mint was a chore. there was mountain mint, peppermint, and even chocolate mint. i wanted the last one just to smell, but josh said no. the one we got was second best smelling. we also got some clemantis and something that looks like a begonia.

yesterday and today are my days off. i'm always hopeful that i'll do something interesting or really fun. but sadly it's boring stuff like sleeping in and laundry. i went to see shrek yesterday, and it was a little disappointing. too much arthur and not enough puss for me. i think it's something to rent on netflix. today i need to clean out a closet and i'll probably make some ice cream. my boss lent me the book 'marley and me'. which is about a man and his unruly yellow lab. i guess zelda could be a lot worse, but i do notice some similarities, like the constant licking and tail wagging. so that's all i have planned for the day and it's back to work tomorrow.
