Every Summer My Mother Falls In Love With The Scent Of This Plant Someone In Our Neighborhood Has. This

Every summer my mother falls in love with the scent of this plant someone in our neighborhood has. This year she finally stole a sprig, so we could figure out what it was. Mr. Googs informed us that it was Night Blooming Jasmine, so we promptly went to the local nursery and bought one for her.

We've had it a few weeks now, and it does bloom every night, but it's been particularly strong the last two days. Couldn't even open the door last night without being assaulted by the smell.

So, hi! Quite a few random people started following this blog in the last few weeks, thought I might as well throw a picture up.

School kind of consumed my world, and I Officially Abandoned the 365 Project once again. Seriously, one of these years, I WILL actually complete one of them from start to finish, I'm determined.

Now I'm in search of a new project, a much smaller project. In the meantime I'll occasionally post some of the 365 pictures that lost the battle against my anxiety with anatomy exams.

Lady : I'm running to the pharmacy, you want anything? Laur : Cookies. Ice cream. Pie! Laur : ...Actually, just get me a bag of marshmallows and a box of Fruity Pebbles. Lady : Uh, it's Walgreens, do they HAVE that stuff? Laur : Yes. Yes they do. Lady : If you say so... Laur : Fruity Pebbles! Not Rice Krispies!

What can I say? When you have a late night craving, you have a late night craving. Mine was for sugar treated with sugar coated in sugar with a drizzling of butter. *shrug*

The internet has been going in and out for the last few days, and last night I was fed up and miserable over it, so I just sat in front of the tv, moping and watching Castle. Happy Valentine's Day to me!

The internet is still out, actually, as are the phone lines. So I picked up my shit and booked it to the library, where there's free wifi. (Hahaha, "booked it!" Unintentional but hilarious.)

On the day I buy my kindle, I also find out that the closest bookstore, Borders, is closing. This is sad for many reasons, the strongest being that I spent a large portion of my youth there. I bought my first Tamora Pierce book in that store, my first Harry Potter book, whet to more than one Midnight Party for more than one series.

Certainly doesn't help that I went digital on the same day. Feels like I cheated on an old lover and was promptly dumped.

The Lady wanted to make a flowerless chocolate torte, and I was able to find the recipe she uses for it. Turned out amazing, better than usual. Made all the Gossip Girl drama much more bearable to watch.
