Plant A Rant

So yesterday was Earth Day. I hate Earth Day. I’m not a tree hugger and I don’t worship the earth. I worship the One who created the earth, and made man out of dirt. I have dominion over the earth. I don’t think it deserves to have its own day. And because I dislike Earth Day so much, I was contrary all day at work. I disregarded safety standards and climbed pallets of wall blocks to hang a sign. I broke dress code and wore a T-shirt. This one:
I even threatened to cut down a tree and shoot a chicken hawk (oh, I can just see the comments that will accompany this post).
But then I got off work and bought $40 worth of flowers and shrubs to restock the planter that I built for mom last year, and to put in the “whiskey barrel” I found in our shed a couple weeks ago….I fully expected my momsie to be excited and happy about it (which she was) and even blog about it. But she didn’t. She blogged about the *kiwi* that Aunt Spiffy got her. But not my flowers and shrubs, which I even followed up and *planted* for her. I’m hurt. Truly wounded.
So then, to follow up my glorious day, I was elected to deliver chickens that Ryann sold today. Because naturally, since Ryann doesn’t have her drivers license and I have mine, that makes me her slave. I’m allergic to chickies. Within two minutes my car smelled less than spiffy and I was sneezing my eyeballs out. But we actually got along alright. Between my excellent driving and the Indian / African music that I was playing in my car, I had those suckers mesmerized. I claim positively no responsibility if those chickens started belly dancing and / or charming snakes when they got to their new location.
That’s the end of my post. It deserves no eloquent closing.

ha. If the aforementioned ( and by that I mean that I mentioned afore on facebook)quilt would have been in my grubby hands, I would have signed your name to the card. Oh. Wait. There was no card. Because I think cards are useless and an utter waste of money. So never mind.

Four suggestions from the mother you love:
1) Decaf
2) Prozac
3) Qualudes
4) New purchase of an additional groovy Indian CD

I am not confident that the earth would celebrate its own holiday. With all of that groaning and all (Romans 8). So shoot a chicken hawk for me too. I like mine medium rare…..
