And that's how Sue sees it.

I'm at work being really bored when all I want to do is geek out with Western Garden Book of Edibles, which arrived in the mail yesterday. I luurrrrves it. *pets book* It's got info on basically everything I'd probably get in my head to grow, and then some. Very good resource for a noob gardener like me, I can look something up and get a really quick overview of planting/watering/harvesting/etc.

A meme, stolen from [personal profile] slitherhither! All have been guessed!

Guess the movie/book/TV show (runs the gamut of being super easy to being kind of obscure):

4) Two guys have to put up with a new co-worker who enjoys their job a little too much. Explosive levels of angst ensue. The Hurt Locker, [personal profile] heinous_bitca

6) A baby is switched at birth, which causes great problems later on. Meanwhile, a cynic with a fondness for antique cars, a rare book dealer, a Granola Girl, a man who breaks things, one of the last witch-hunters in Britain and the witch-hunter's landlady attempt to prevent four rather sinister bikers from causing The End Of The World As We Know It. - Good Omens, [personal profile] mynuet
