Someday, I'll have a green thumb.

It all started on a Sunday. Winter term was imminent. Upon our return to school, Natalie and I ventured down the street to Hiron's {aka the "everything store" - going there is an event in itself}. As we gathered some essentials for the start of the new term, a beacon of light shined down upon the planting section. It was decided. We were going to plant something. 

{love fern}
 No, not like that.

After perusing our numerous options for indoor plants, we decided on some daisy-thing. We just saw the word "hardy" and assumed that it would be easy to take care of. Soooo after googling some basic plant-care tips, digging out a cheap, ugly basket from the clearance aisle, and stealing soil from a nearby flowerbed {not an easy task in front of security guards - oh and the hole is still there} we planted Jeffrey {our plant's name} and watched him grow. 





And then....
{Jeffrey stopped drinking his water... maaaaaaybe got a LITTLE too much}

3 weeks in....C'mon Jeffrey, pull through!

Things aren't really looking up for Jeffrey. Literally. He's kind of wilting. Darn tree in front of the window blocking all Jeffrey's sunlight.  >:(
