Great patience and understanding

OK, took this from Red Queen, but it seemed an interesting enough endeavor. Some of you do not really know me that well, but if you did, you would know that to know me is to... well, is to be capable of great patience and understanding. Like a little bullet headed tree fern, I require great amounts of care and feeding. And reassurance. And clean t-shirts.

Not much to put on the blog today. I only had this here one day weekend to work with. Got a lot done. Passed food out through the neighborhood (Nong is not working so she is cooking), got a haircut, started my herbs in their sprouting cups, walked the cats, watched some basketball and a movie (Rob Zombie's "The Devil's Rejects" which was about what I expected but with higher production values than I was imagining), and made a trip to Wal-mart. In ten minutes, I'm off to watch Desperate Housewives and Gray's Anatomy. Glad I could get this done.
