Yesterday, I changed teams, and bought Wheat Grass.

 

I've been with the Lucky Lemons since shortly after coming to FT.  For a long time, I've been the only member playing The Teams or anything. I decided to be a 'Free Agent' (which is what you must do, to get invited to another team) and was fortunate enough to be 'picked up' by a team that actually plays, and posts! Imagine!

I'm a little sad about the Lemons, but I'm not the first to bail, and I won't be the last. It was just a dark place. I feel like maybe I could have helped get it going again, but instead I left...(sigh)

 

I bought Wheat Grass for Taxi, my cat. He's been after my plants, so I thought he might like a plant of his own...Nope. It's in a little square pot on the floor, and he still wants to go down to the landing, and eat MY plant! I don't get it.

 

Well, you can see how exciting my life is. I hadn't posted to my blog for a while, though, so there it is!

 

Sad, huh? LoL

I really like this: "25 Random Things;" that Katie started. I think a lot more people READ the Blogs than actually post...

 

So, to all of you enjoying the "Things"... Please post yours! It's only fair, and you know you can squeeze 25 things out of your head!

 

This is what it's all about. I love reading about everyone. There is no animosity, just fun stuff.

 

Everyday, I laugh out loud,m over at least one post. I'm hoping for more in the days to come.

 

Let's go people! We want your 25!

The order is a little odd, at reading, but there it is!

I guess, in the grand scheme of things, it may not be a big deal, but I am a long time, BIG Time, John Travolta fan. His son, Jett (16 years old) died, and I'm just beside myself.

I always watch if John is on a talk show, because he's such a 'good guy.' I'm probably his number one fan. I know, silly, huh? I can't imagine losing a child...
