My Soil is Dry...

Yesterday I was up very early - Monday is my ordering day at Spruce. Met one of my suppliers at 8am which meant that there was no workout time which is always a disappointment for me. Spent a busy day at the office and was late coming home only to find 24 very dry containers in my yard, full of flowers. The Horticulturist in me says that I should not be watering at night, but I couldn't help myself, as I felt my flowers would most certainly be dead by morning, so I watered, and you know what - Everything survived! It has been said that plants need to breathe at night, and I totally agree, but how can you possibly let your babies sleep overnight without being well watered? I gave in... Not unlike what I do for Bailey, my 12 year old Bichon Shih-Tzu. He is scared of his food dish, so I place his food on the floor, which he happily devours every day. My family scolds me every time I pamper him, but I figure he's 12 years old, and it's not like I need to teach him how to be a productive, upstanding member of society. He's not going to take over the world or anything, so why can't I take the food out and make life easier on him. I hope when I'm 84 someone takes the food out of my dish if I so desire.
The Bachelorette was weak last night, with a reunion tour of all the bachelors being showcased. I felt myself being slightly embarassed for them all. The 'man-code' was discussed in great extent and I would totally be ashamed of myself if I was part of it. That being said, I look forward to the finale next Monday where Jillian decides between Kiptyn and Ed - or, as we have decided to call it, the decision between 8-pack and Greg Brady (for those who know what that means). Taking a vote, I am in the minority as I believe that Ed is the chosen one (although, I would choose Kiptyn in a New York minute), while Grace believes that Kiptyn will come out on top. But wait... Reid is back in the picture with a ring in his hand...hmmmm. Riveting, as always. We will tune in next week and find out who Jillian ultimately chooses. Grace and I are now on to watching Big Brother, but I won't update you on that because it is truly a guilty pleasure that I probably should not share with anyone.
Remember to water your plants in the morning.... Happy Tuesday
