Nothing in Particular

After three months of neglect (I moved away for the summer), my porch garden is - needless to say - completely dead. So now I get to start over from scratch. The only plants that have carried over from last year are the aloe and the ivy, and neither looks particularly healthy, so we'll see how that goes.... Also, because I currently have no roommates, I'm taking the opportunity to redo the living room with the "bright colors and random stuff" approach. Hopefully it'll be easier than the actual-theme approach. Haven't figured out what I'm going to do about the couch and chair - making slipcovers didn't really work, and buying them is too expensive - so for now I'm just pretending they don't exist... ^^;; On the plus side, I've spent less than ten dollars so far, and both the kitchen and the living room currently look reasonably decent. It's amazing what an in-depth search of an over-stuffed closet can yield.... With any luck the sewing machine will come out tomorrow, and I'll be able to have people over for dinner by Thursday. *crosses fingers*
