If I Only Had a Thumb of Green

A couple weekends ago, we celebrated Steph's birthday late and my birthday early. We danced the night away. My lifelong pal, Katelyn, brought me a precious potted rose plant. She wanted me to have flowers that would last much longer than ones chopped from the stems and kept alive for a few days in a vase of water.

I think she overestimated my talent with plant-life.

In a desperate attempt to keep these beauties alive, I may have watered them too much...or not enough. I may have given them too much sunlight...or not enough. Whatever the cause of death may have been, I can only conclude that I am at fault. {Unless one of my roommates poisoned the roses out of spite}. I owned a plant for less than two weeks. There was no hope of resuscitation.

The funeral services were lovely.
I only hope I don't end up in the clink for the murder of an innocent, young plant.

  1. Hmmmm perhaps a roommate did poison them.....*laughs maniacally....then realizes she's laughing maniacally and briskly blames another*...I'm certain it was Kirsten. She was probably upset about those jabs you made at her for loving mushrooms. Also, so you say you had services for you flowers/potted plant. Does this mean there were flowers at the services? Do you think that was appropriate? Doesn't that seem like you're moving on too fast? Hmmmm?
