I’m always amused by the icons/faces that pop up in extremely long links shared over some messaging applications. Here’s a recent fav:

I’m proud to say…
By melanie…that I am the new momma/owner of not one but two baby dragon trees!!! Anyone who knows me, knows that I’ve been obsessed with a certain downtown Fort Lauderdale tree for some time now. Just recently, with the help of Elissa I found out the actual name of the tree that I was looking for (I had always just referred to the tree as the “Magic” tree), which began my almost obsessive search for one of my own. I quickly found that the Dracaena Draco otherwise known as a “Dragon Trees” are kind of hard to come across, unless you live in the Canary Islands, which I obviously don’t.
Imagine my surprise, then, when out for a walk with Scott, we ran straight into a Dragon Tree two streets down form our house. Long story short, we asked the neighbor where he had gotten his tree (he was in the gardening business) and he gave us the name of a place that “might” have “one or two”. Scott ended up calling the nursery and then actually riding by on his bike just to see if they had any. To my extreme disappointment, he informed me that they had none. I was super crushed. A couple of days later, I arrived at the house after work and Scott made me cover my eyes and walk outside. When he finally let me open them, standing in front of me was a perfect little baby dragon tree! He had fibbed to me about the nursery not having the trees and said that they actually had more than one. We made the decision that day they we wanted them both.
We are still trying to figure out exactly what kind of landscaping we want to do with trees, but we know that they will be with us for a long time!

Purring Cougar
By melanieSo, I’m working on a project involving cats, and I just HAVE to share this video I found of a purring cougar. Yeah, I am fully aware that he could rip my face off in one swat of the paw, but I still want to grab his face and kiss his little nose!
Neurotic Much?
By melanieI’m just gonna come right out and say it. I’m deathly afraid that someone is going to walk in on me while I’m in the office restroom. My neurosis has gotten so bad that I check the lock on the door at least three times before I sit. Even then, when I’m doing my business I’m in constant fear that I didn’t lock the door. WTF is this?! Is anyone else as nervous as I am about the bathroom door lock, or am I the only one?
What I can say is, all of this worrying makes for a very stressful workplace bathroom experience.
“I’ll get you my pretty… and your little dog too”
By melanieAny time I ever hear the word tornado, I always immediately think of “The Wizard of Oz”. Such a classic movie.
Tornado to Oz
Tornadoes aren’t very commonplace in South Florida, so when Elissa told me that one hit right around where my condo is, I chuckled thinking that maybe the wind was blowing a little bit harder than normal. Well, apparently I was wrong. This tornado actually ripped through my apartment complex, throwing some pretty good debris around. Check it out for yourself.
