Amsterdam and Paris Vacation
I loved this little guy outside of the Rijk's Museum in Amsterdam!
Man oh man, I am so happy that today is Friday.... I certainly hope the weekend goes by slow because I have a lot to do... as well as a lot not to do! Hehehehe... in other words, a lot of loafing around to do so I can feel up to speed and shake this jet lag for good. Apart from loafing, I have a lot of cleaning and gardening to do... I can't wait to take pictures of all my plants so you can see how well they are doing (there are one or two that are having issues, I will share those too so you all can give me any helpful feedback on how to save them from perishing!). It's amazing how much progress you see in plants when you don't see them for a week, rather than staring at them obsessively for change each and every day. Kind of reminds me of the saying "a watched pot never boils" or however it goes... I was truly pleased when I returned from my vacation to find newly opened flowers on my succulents and clear signs of growth! Wheeee!
Also, by now I have propagated over twenty new little succulents from leaves! I am so proud of myself!! As soon as each new plants' propagation leaf starts to shrivel I transfer it into this large planter I have, I am grouping them all together as a visual reminder of the life I have helped create! yay :)
The only problem with this weekend is I'm not sure how I'm going to get all the blog posts on my trip done.... mainly because my laptop needs to go in for service because it won't turn on and my desktop stopped turning on while I was away (according to my boyfriend).... DILEMMA!! Oh well, we'll see. If it happens great, if not... more time for loafing and gardening! wheee...
Stay tuned for more pictures and posts about my trip, just as soon as I can orchestrate it all and get a working computer. In the meantime, I can't resist throwing in another few pictures from the trip for your viewing pleasure.....have a fantastic weekend!!!!

A close up of those amazing tulips in front of Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport... they were losing their petals because tulips go out of season there around May 16th.
Some of my favorite little mini sculpture head remains in the artifacts section... by far my favorite part of the Louvre!!! Greek, Roman and Egyptian artifacts are beautiful and enthralling!!
