New Shoot

so i have this plant in my office. she's a good plant - a little large, but good. so this plant has a story. last fall another lady from the office and i decided that our monster plant was too large so we decided to divide it into 4 different plants. (the plant was truly too much!) so we drove to ace hardware, purchased some dirt and planters and returned to the office for our project. it was quite the process of chopping this monster plant into section.

since that time, i've had a section of the monster plant in my office. the plant hasn't done anything since the great divide. i held onto hope that the plant was alive and just kinda in a traumatic phase. i kept talking to it, watering it, and giving it a little shot of coke and coffee every now and then. well, this morning i walked into my office and there's a new shoot coming from the center. it's great! i love this plant. i didn't think i could kill it. it's the plant that never dies.

oh, and my aloe vera plant at home has a new shoot too. and all the other plants i have at home seem to be doing exceptionally well right now. who knew that a plant given to me from my dead grandma's funeral would continue to live in my quaint apartment? not me. i thought for sure i would have killed them all off by now.

guess it's a plant kinda day.

our team got 3rd place last night at trivia, no thanks to anything i had to say. i knew some of the answers, but everyone else knew those answers too. it's still good fun to go and hang out with friends for the night. but good golly - it was cold last night - a whopping 22°.
