Wrong Number?

I just got a call on my cell phone.

Me: "Hello?"
Woman: "Do I have the wrong number?"
Me: "Umm...I don't know?"

In retrospect, my response should have been:

Me: "Were you calling me?"

Tournament Postmortem, Spring

I got the official results from the tournament, and I did indeed finish dead last. What I didn't expect was that I wasn't far from climbing out of the cellar. One more touch (or one fewer against) would have brought me up to second last.

Also, my opponent in the elimination round ended up winning the whole tournament. So that makes me feel pretty good, and our bout was actually tied for his closest score until the final.


I had the opportunity to get outside and work on our flowerbeds a little this weekend, which were being overgrown by our suddenly vibrant grass. It looks like everything expected to come back has indeed sprouted. In addition, a peony we planted last year and gave up on seems to have broken ground. (Much to the chagrin of another plant right on top of it)

This week also marked the arrival of some plants I ordered online. Who knew you could do that? There were a couple varieties I didn't think I would find in local stores, so I hopped on The Growers Exchange and put in an order. The plants all arrived in good condition a few days later, and are now basking in the sun on the front porch. I got a pineapple sage, a catsmint, and two calibrachoa, which kind of look like miniature petunias.
