R.I.P.- One ornamental orange pepper plant. 1999-2004. Cause of death: drafty door. 
I guess I'm somewhat of an anomaly, a heterosexual male, non-pothead, plant lover.
Played hooky today. The bed was even more comfortable than usual, and as I peered outside at the new fallen snow (although I had hoped for it), I couldn't get up. Then, sleep logic kicked in...yeah...(as the only person in my department without kids) y'know, all my co-workers take a day or two off whenever their crumb crunchers get a little sniffle...I haven't taken a sick day since September! Damn it! I deserve a day off.
So, I went back to sleep. Called up the Brown Haired Lass, had lunch with her at the (URK!) Mall of America. Came home. Chilled.
Oh. I still have my Christmas Tree up. My goal is to keep it up until my birthday. As a kid, I was always jealous that my sister (whose B-day is Jan. 5), got her birthday presents under the Christmas Tree. So, it's only another fortnight or so...it's not like I left a Halloween pumpkin out for Thanksgiving!
Thus endeth the disjointed blather for today.

Good god... we took our Christmas tree down on New Year's Day, and my birthday is the 9th of January.

You get my humbled awe at making a plant live 5 years, period.
