a lovely day

Today was going well to begin with: the internet is now hooked up in my apartment and I got to visit with my parents. At a garden shop I found a "grow-these-flower-bulbs-inside" kit for...autumn crocuses?! Since when do they bloom in autumn instead of spring? It seems there's a variety I didn't know about. Unsurprisingly, I couldn't resist Exactly a week in my new apartment and I already have three indoor plants, as well as a potted lavender on my porch.

It just kept getting better. Browsing through children's DVDs on sale, I found the packaged set of...The Storyteller! I was planning on being good and not making any unnecessary purchases this month, but I knew I couldn't pass up the opportunity (and it was on sale). Actually, if I wanted to get into extreme rationalizing I could argue that any work by Jim Henson are a necessary purchase!)
