Stuff I have to do, stuff I want to do.

[cupcake_goth]

Today the Stroppy One and I are going to take advantage of the nice weather and ... garden. Keep in mind, neither of us LIKES gardening. But Audrey the Monster Rosebush needs pruning. Well, more than pruning, more like severe cutting back, so that is what we're going to do today. Wish us luck, and that Audrey doesn't demand too much of a blood sacrifice with thorns.

Do I want to do this? No. I want to finish up a skirt, cut out another skirt, take photos of the skirts and jackets I have to sell, and work on a Table of Contents outline. But the gardening cannot wait, alas.

I also want to go shopping. I want to go to T.J. Maxx, a thrift store (or two!), and Display and Costume Supply. I suspect none of those things will happen this week.

(I also want to win the lottery, a trip to England, and a trip to Disneyland. While I'm listing things I want, I might as well be thorough, right?)

The rose bushes in our yard are barely there - cut back for the winter

Garden? Oooh! Me want see picture!
Pruning in early February is a thing that could so not happen in this area. We're having a good -3°C right now and everything is covered in ice and snow.

Mmmmmm, thrift stores!

I also love how you named your rose bush, how cute!

We're big fans of Little Shop Of Horrors. Plus, Audrey does seem pretty intent on becoming enormous and swallowing things like the front stairs and power lines.

The raspberry bush in our back yard need to be tamed as well . . . it is creeping up everywhere and sneaking up on the grape vines.

Good luck!

Remember, she eats lace

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know she does. I am going out there in boots, tights, a t-shirt, and bloomers with very sturdy trim. And gloves. VERY THICK GLOVES.

I still don't think that's enough. I'd ALMOST relax my "no arc welders" prohibition re: you, about that..."plant".

[ouranophobe.livejournal.com]

Egad. No. Nonono. No arc welder. If I have to come back there and prune Audrey myself, I will. cupcake_goth does not get an arc welder. O.O

[pocketbearwa.livejournal.com]

I SAID ALMOST - never fear, I live in TOTAL TERROR of Jilli and ArcWelder.

No no no.

[ouranophobe.livejournal.com]

You and me both, brother! O.O

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Did you know there's a gardening tool that's essentially a small flamethrower?! It's for weeding. Oh, how I wants one.

[pocketbearwa.livejournal.com]

PEEV! PEEV! (points frantically)

[stroppy-baggage.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know, don't worry.

[nyterose.livejournal.com]

Having thrown both arc and flame, I highly recommend the flame. Much more spectacular.

[ouranophobe.livejournal.com]

Egad. I'm pretty sure I remember a "no flamethrowers" restriction, too. >.>

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

I have never accidentally set anyone or anything on fire. EVER. My lighting water on fire that one 4th of July is proof of my Amazing Powers.

(Flamethrower weeding tool!)

[ouranophobe.livejournal.com]

You know... I'm actually a little more worried about you setting someone or something on fire *on purpose*. IJS.

[weaselmom.livejournal.com]

And this is why sometimes I wonder if I am your only *true* friend, because I would let you have an arc welder *and* a flamethrower *and* a plasma cutter and pretty much whatever else you wanted.

And an *axe.*

[stroppy-baggage.livejournal.com]

You are on the Naughty list.

[stroppy-baggage.livejournal.com]

Sure, come on back. We'll leave some weeding for you too!

[staxxy.livejournal.com]

Good. You know... with all this sewing you are doing of late, you should put together a sturdy "getting rougher things done" sort of around the house set of bloomers and jacket. Something from a heavier fabric that can stand up to thorn abuse.

[corbaegirl.livejournal.com]

And I want a pony and to live in Paris.

[ouranophobe.livejournal.com]

Take before and after piccies? And... you know that everyone wants to know what the fashionable goth wears for gardening. ~sagenod~

[ex-fashioni.livejournal.com]

Jilli, I have to make a Half-Price Books run to cull some books Very Soon. If you need to do such a run and also hit a thrift store or whatnot, let me know. I'd be happy to do the driving. :)

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Oooh! That's right, I must remember that you are now In The Area, and sometimes available for expeditions!

[ex-fashioni.livejournal.com]

::nods

Yep, pretty flexible with the availability, especially since I'm not under deadline at the moment.

And I like expeditions!

[icprncs.livejournal.com]

a trip to to live at Disneyland

FTFY.

(And you don't get to win the lottery until AFTER I win it. :P )

[mimimanderly.livejournal.com]

*Whines* I don't care for gardening much anymore, either. But I would gladly be doing that instead of what we are doing here now... preparing for our second blizzard in a week. Our garden is somewhere under two feet of snow... going on three!

[sistawendy.livejournal.com]

There's an entry coming soon about my recent adventures in pruning.

My want list is in an Excel spread sheet, and yes, London is in there. I didn't put the lottery on it, though, because I pretty much took that for granted.

Yay I have Internets again ^_^

[strawberry-goth.livejournal.com]

Hope Audrey didn't eat either of you. I want to go to Disneyland too.
What's your favorite kind of cupcake?
I'm trying to figure out what sort of cupcakes to make. ^_^
