I planted some of my herbs this morning. What a mess! The dirt disks seem like a great idea, but you have to add a lot of water to expand them - then you have to separate it and fill three pots with one disk. Anyway, I got six pots planted.

Discover called to verify the Apple purchase, I guess. I went online to see if I could verify it - and couldn't. But I skimmed the charges for the last three days and guessing (I'd be off by a few dollars, I guess), I found that Steven spent over $1000 in three days. Not on clothes, food, groceries, gifts or even comic books!! On TOYS! If he were making money on sales and thinning out what he has already, that might make sense (not really - when he clears a space, he buys something to fill in that space and more). He took out $10,000 on our home equity loan and it's gone. Taxes, he says. Taxes aren't over $10,000. Why can't he see that his constant buying isn't making any sense. It might make him happy, but it's a fleeting happiness, as he keeps buying and buying and buying!
