kids

Wow, I just love babysitting. I haven't done it in forever but I did today. The kids are 2 and 3 and just adorable. The 3 year old, a girl, is a cuddler and laid all over me whilst watching Willy Wonka and Futurama. I really miss that. Now I smell like baby. Delightful. Plus I made 60 bucks. Damnit I'm rich now. So going to Close Knit tomorrow.

I'm seriously thinking about a Pi shawl. A bit nervous about maybe trying to customize it with different patterns. I'm so fiddly about what lace patterns I like. Peacock was pretty much the only pattern for a lace shawl that I loved.

I finally planted the lilac I bought last Friday. Poor thing. The damn plant gave me a headache when I was driving home with it in the back seat. Too strong. No side effects today. The previous owners had two semicircles against the fence, edged in scalloped bricks and filled with pea gravel. I can't figure out what was their purpose. Maybe to sit planters on? I took out the gravel and plopped the bush in there. I'd like to get a hydrangea for the other one. Maybe on the other side of the yard. I can't remember at the moment whether they like full sun or not. I just wish flowers weren't so expensive. I buy anything substantial and I blow all my mad money for the week. I'm really waiting for Memorial Day when Kroger is having a BOGO sale on hanging baskets. There are 6 hooks attatched to the fences and I'm ready for color!
