Its the weekend baby..

So did you see the Rockets last night? I told you they were gonna make it a seven game series. Again, I haven't really been into the series but I am very happy for them. 

So I have been saying I was going to write about this for a couple of posts now but something else always seemed more interesting.  Last Tuesday evening, I bought a palm for my apartment because I felt my place needed something. Honestly, I didn't quite know what my place needed - furniture, a painting- I just couldn't make up my mind. Well, I went into work and they put me to finish out a shift in Outside Gardening. Though I hate going out in the heat - you do what you are told. Plus - though I would never admit it -  kinda serene being outside with all those plants. While out there I saw this palm and for some reason I just had to and I mean had to

 have it. I scanned it to see the price and the price was right. Plus number 1. So I asked the guy working in the garden area if the palm could be an inside plant and he said yes. Plus number 2. He said all I have to do is give it maximum light and add some palm soil ( really, palm soil?) and feed it every so often and it would grow nicely. I was, for some reason,  so happy. Don't ask me why I was so happy because I have no idea. I have never been a plant person. Even plants people have said I couldn't 'possibly' kill I did. Anyways, getting it home was no easy feat. I had to drive like 20 mph on the freeway. Also getting it upstairs wasn't too pretty either - thank goodness my neighbor was also just getting in. I had planned to photograph it and post it for Wednesday- well as you know plans change. Here is the pic of my new palm. And yes, the space around the plant is temporarily cluttered.  

On a sad note....Waymon Tisdale jazz musician and former NBA Baller has died.
