What I'm Reading This Week #24
Sup y'all! Welcome to flop sweat season (and Friday!) I hope you had a good week and stayed cool. I had to wave the flag and pull all of the 'impatiens' I grew from seed as that is not the plant I apparently bought. I'm still going round with the people I got them from because dammit, I want a refund. So I had to go to the nursery and get regular impatiens to replace the ones I pulled. It's already nicer to see actual color instead of looking out everyday and wonder WTF they're going to turn into other than some rando plant with a thick, juicy stem. Not that the ones I got look a ton better as they too are leggy. I don't know what the deal is with that. I also grabbed some chives half off to plant with the zinnias to keep the aphids at bay. Who knows if it'll actually work or not, we'll see. Now let's see: 9 Foot Exercises to Try at Home (I've been doing these over the last week and oochie owie for my weak azz feet...
Chocolate pudding. You could also squish it between your fingers and toes. Might be kind of dangerous though too. Not sure you would float at all like in jello, so it shouldn't be a very deep pool.

ReplyDeleteI have this thing about being in water I can't see through. I get really twitchy and freak about anything that touches my legs. It has gotten worse as I've gotten older. So my first thought is: oobleck. Cause if you do it right you don't fall in but rather run across it. Jello, as long as it's clear, also sounds interesting. But seriously, I've had a minor freakout in a 'milk' bath when I bumped into a sponge fall that into the water without my noticing. I didn't jump out but did splash water onto the floor.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd do a foofy thing like a pina colada where it's frothy but with a light fluffy texture that would feel good to dive around in. Now I need to go find a mini umbrella to twirl...
