Me: wimp

I went to the Virginia Plant Swap @ Ticonderoga Farms this morning with a trunk full of tomato and sweet pea and mini sunflower seedlings and signs and popsicle sticks and markers, all prepared and everything. Except, when I got there, the swapping area was full of SUVs and I had to park in the regular lot, which meant I couldn't show what I had to anyone and it was so rainy and muddy and I didn't see anything I could identify that I wanted and my stuff was so inferior that I felt like I couldn't even offer it as a trade and everyone seemed to know everyone else and I didn't know anyone or speak to anyone (except to ask where the bathroom was - and there wasn't) and I ended up one hour later just going back home with no trades, no purchases, and having to pee really badly all of the 40 minute drive home.

I should know better. I keep thinking that things like this will force me to be more outgoing, but it doesn't. Next time, I will bring less plants and at least make contact with some of the message board folks so that I might know someone.

I have tomatos (Black Krim, Aunt Ruby's German Green, Green Zebra), sweet pea "Captain of the Blues" and three mini sunflowers. If anyone wants any.

So after my sopping and muddy morning (in effect, taking my plants for a drive out into the country), I came home and sweetie and I went off to Coggins for lunch (I think I've found my favorite new sandwich place!) and then to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which I adored. Such a silly movie, resurrected me from my earlier moodiness. I love silly. I do I do I do.

Then it was off to Tower where I surprisingly did not purchase any music but did pick up Emily sticky notes, a picture book on futuristic design and the new issue of Ready Made, and I'm going to curl up with that and a cuppa tea and be snug at home.

But I would love a slew of donuts, too. If only.

Speaking of movies, we watched the following DVDs this past week:

Woodsman
I Heart Huckabees
Station Agent
Saw

I loved Station Agent and Woodsman. Station Agent especially but both were great. I Heart Huckabees was all a mess but I thought the ending was good (and the mess was most likely the point of the whole thing) and Saw, well, I'm just not sure whether I thought it was worth its time or if it was good. Creepy little V for Vendetta puppet, though.
