Things that grow
Comments (22) Ooo… I can’t wait to see what it looks like fully grown!
Steven has a green thumb. I kill plants. Data does too (although we have different methods – I don’t chew on them).
I’ll just add “taking care of houseplants” to my list of domestic skills that I stink at. Also on the list:
- cooking
- sweeping
- mopping (Thanks for the correction, Nilsa S.!)
- making the bed (I do it, it just looks awful)
- putting the dishes into the dishwasher
- closing the shower curtain after showering
- wiping my feet off so the floor doesn’t get all wet after showering
- vacuuming
- dusting
- patching walls
- painting
- hanging frames
- leaving my clothes on the drying rack for too long
- stacking things up on the floor and not putting them away
- sewing buttons
- okay, sewing at ALL
And to be fair, a few things I am good at:
- sending out birthday cards, anniversary cards, thinking of you cards
- taking the trash out
- bringing in the newspaper
- baking banana bread
- protecting the car
- finding “Infiniti-approved” parking spots (used to be “Saab-approved”)
- getting the mail on Saturdays
- feeding Data on Saturday and Sunday mornings so he’ll STFU and let us sleep
- changing Data’s litter
- putting groceries away
- opening new DVDs
- getting my clothes out of the dryer in less than 2 days
- cutting up lettuce, cauliflower, carrots, celery, and strawberries
- pushing very heavy things up the stairs
Ha. I’m good at all the things that really matter.

Today’s Idiom: to throw down the gauntlet – to challenge someone
Steven thought he was better at Xbox Tetris than me, so I had to throw down the gauntlet, and show off my mad Tetris skills.
