My Super Awesome Ter-Rawr-Rium

Last week, I stopped by my parents' house to hang out with my sister before she headed off on her Europe trip. I had been thinking my desk needed a terrarium and my sister is generally up for anything, so I figured 'hey! sisterly project.'

That is, until I found out that my sister had no idea what a terrarium even was.

Nor did my dad.

Actually, according to my dad, I couldn't be making a terrarium unless a reptile or amphibian was added.

I was beyond relieved when my mom got home from work to educate both my sister and dad that a terrarium does not need a stinking lizard in it nor was it a made up word.

My sister and I ran off to buy terrarium supplies at a couple local stores. Charcoal - check, potting soil - check, a sturdy jar - check, scottish moss - check, rocks - check. Upon returning to my parents' house, my dad declared the jar officially a candy jar, therefore, I must be making a candiarrium... or however you possibly want to spell that.

So, not only must I add a lizard to make it a terrarium, it no longer mattered as I officially had a candiarrium on my hands instead.

I sent a text message to Brian complaining about all the flack I was getting about making a silly little terrarium for my desk. To which he responded with, "O_o whats a terrarium." Sigh.

When I got home, I ended up adding a special little dinosaur to the terrarium, anyways. (Bah! Does that count as a reptile?!) And proceeded to send a picture message to Brian that read.

"SEE MY TER-RAWR-RIUM!"

(I still don't think anyone in my family understands the concept of a terrarium.)

Spotlight: Fresh Linens

I don't know what it is about linen, but it is so fresh and romantic to me. I can't wait to start decorating after the move to incorporate a lot of these lovelies.
