Erin: "Shit. Do you know I'm going to Iceland in ten days?"

Dad: "Yup."

Erin: "I haven't planned for this at all."

Dad: "You have boots, you have a jacket . . ."
Erin: ". . . and a backpack and plane ticket."

Dad: "See you're all set."

Erin: "Yeah, I guess I have planned for this more than any Green has ever planned for anything ever."

Dad: "That's true."

I have a 24-hr exam on the 16th and leave on the 19th on what will no doubt be a dream vacation. So I leave my piece of cyber real-estate with this last short post with a picture of a place that looks a lot like where I'm going.

Trip: $X, they call it 'disposable income' for a reason, eh?

There was nothing cute or amusing or witty or ironic about the pencil-marked sentences. Nothing warranting a 'lol'. God help the poor soul who scribbled internet language as emphasis on Fukuyama's mention of a link between the ubiquity of violence and the nature of human nature.

Wish I knew the grade they got on their assignment. LOL.

Library card: $0, all you need in life

I wonder if I could mosaic my toilet with these.

Bowl: $0, roadside find

Glass rocks: $1.25, Dollarama

Lost security deposit: $1100

I'm close. This still isn't good. But the birds & chips are cute.

Cute little treasure: $.49 at Goodwill

SEE I told you I was a bad plant mother. I had such good intentions. I really did. I brought this plant all the way to someone's house, repotted it, let it have a week long siesta in the sun, then it got mangled in a water-logging incident. Sigh. It's 5 years old and feel so guilty about it.

Plant stand: $0, roadside find

Okay, so this might be a touch on the Laura Ashley side of things, but I like it all the same. I can't even remember what I put in it . . . just a sec . . . nothing so far.

Pretty things: $2 at Dollarama
