Plants

Should I get a plant?

I was doing the dishes tonight and our kitchen window looks down into another townhouse’s kitchen window.  I am still trying to figure out when these people are ever there to accumulate any dishes themselves, but since it’s the only window I occasionally see lights on in and the blinds open; they do live there.  And they have a plant. 3 actually.

I’ve had plants in the past, usually the kind that are “hard to kill” or “easy to take care of.”  They do good for awhile, and I even managed to keep several alive until I decided that two kids were more important to water than a lily.

You know those bamboo plants they have in cute little planters made into cute little shapes at the Ikea checkout?  Yup, I killed one.  😦 My sister got the green thumb in the family.  I could keep plenty of animals alive and was the resident vet for the horses and cats, but she has an entire greenhouse in a room at their MI house.

So here is where I need your help.  Most plants need sunlight.  I live in Seattle.  We don’t really get a lot of sun.  What type of plant can I get that doesn’t need a lot of sun, is “easy to take care of” and “hard to kill”  but also looks pretty.

If anyone has any ideas… let me know!

Seahawks!!!!

If you know me, I’m not a huge football fan.  I did go to every home game in my 4 years of high school though.  I had to because I was in the marching band… but that’s besides the point.  I went.    I don’t fully understand all parts of the game, but I don’t really care.  It’s still fun to watch the game and cheer.  Last season, after only recently having moved here, my husband and were given the chance to go to the Monday night game between the Seahawks and the Packers.  We had seats on the visitors side so we wore our Packer gear and hurried home after the loss.  So having been at the stadium for a game, I knew how loud it must have been there and the excitement that was there last night.

So while we’re not super fans,  I think we’ve lived here long enough, shown our WA pride enough to be able to cheer on the “home”team at the Super Bowl.  Yay!!!!
