Project 365 - All about Pennies (February 7, 2012)

I am not the biggest fan when it comes to carrying cash, well ever since I have discovered the more amazing things in the world: Credit & Debit Cards.  Now do not wander off thinking, oh she is that sort of girl! (see I got cha!)  As much as I love shopping, I am not about huge credit card bills that daddy will pay off, a girl has got to know her limits!

Anywho, I realized I would have lots of change left over and I would hate carrying all that in my wallet.  To solve the problem, I went and bought this plastic cookie jar and punched a hole in it; for the change to live in.  I started putting the coins in every time I had some extra change and gradually built a decent amount of coins.

One day, out of boredom I decided to count the coins and I believed it came out to $15 altogether.  After a while, I noticed that my sister actually used the coins as conveniently needed.  Every time she was in need of her bus fair, she would just dig right in and take the coins as pleased.  I came to know about this, when one day I needed to dish for some quarters; and to my surprise, there were no quarters left in the coins.

Upon asking my sister, she casually mentioned "oh I thought you didn't need the coins anymore so I used them up for my bus fair everyday."  I was furious and asked her to stay away from my coin jar; but just like all of my other threats, this one went to a waste as well.  First the quarters disappeared, then the dimes, then nickles and now all that is left are Pennies!

I have stopped adding on to the coins, unless they are pennies.  I use the jar to leave my bedroom door a little open for the hallway light to enter in (Why? Because I am claustrophobic, but this topic is left to be discussed for another day).

The best part comes in when my sister bumps into the Jar every morning; call me evil or whatever, but it somehow gives me a little relief each time.

Project 365 - Bonsai Plant (January 22, 2012)

I think I was waiting for Chinese year to come by to actually start working on my new year’s resolutions.  One of the goals was to keep up with Project 365 (where I would be taking a picture each day and posting it on Facebook or my Blog – perhaps both).

My obsession with plants is pretty self explanatory, to those around me ofcourse.  For those who do not know me, well Hello there – I know this was the part where I am suppose to tell you how crazy I am about plants and how all my friends are very “unsupportive” and “abrasive” towards it – and that sums it up pretty much!

Anyhow! This is my first picture of Project 365, a Money tree/Bonsai Plant. 

The plants are described as – Plants that are thought to bring good fortune and luck to people, who may place it in their homes.   None of this was intentional ofcourse, I just wanted to find a plant for an empty pot I had bought – Yes, and I do buy cute plant pots from time to time, without the plants.  It just so happened that Luck found its way over to me, I was kind of in need of it anyway! J
