...and they doubted!
The orchid blooms!
As the newbie in the legal department, I was given the impossible task of caring for the legal department orchid, which was, as Miracle Max would say, mostly dead. They told me it was useless, that it was a joke, that it was just a dried up old twig. They laughed, they lectured, and yet I persevered. After nearly six months of once weekly waterings and basking in the light of the window at the back of my cubicle, a flower stalk shot up at the beginning of April. I crossed my fingers. They raised their eyebrows. Now I shall lay the proof before them and they shall all be speechless (which seems much more impressive when you realize that the majority of them are attorneys).
All hail my green thumb!
tee hee hee.

along came a spider and sat down beside her
Except the spider didn't really sit, it more dangled from the ceiling in front of the back door.
I thought it was a fly and tried to swat it out of the door, as I had been in the process of letting the cat in. When I swatted it, spider legs made contact with my hand about the same time HAH yelled "SPIDER!" and I realized it was very much not a fly. I shrieked and backed up, knocked over my mother's prized Christmas Cactus, shattered the pot it was planted in, fell over backwards and rolled through the rubble to a stop just to the side of the dinner table, much to the delight of those in the dining room (though I don't blame them, I bet it looked pretty funny).
After picking myself up and helping clean up the mess I mostly just felt stupid (and still a little scared).
And I thought the pizza incident was bad. :)
Sorry Mom!!!

Top three reasons not to get a blog:
1) One more thing to feel guilty about not updating.
2) I think the word blog is ugly.
3) Thinking of a snazzy title is hard.
Top three reasons to get a blog:
1) I like to type in pretty colors.
2) I can't figure out how to comment on other people's blogs without an account.
3) All of the cool kids are doing it.
