Frustrations of a Calla Lily

On our first date, Drew gave me beautiful purple and white Calla Lily's potted in plant form. He said that he knew those were my favorite flower and wanted me to enjoy them as long as possible. Unfortunately, I live in a house that is well controlled in terms of climate and is thus almost never humid. The breed of Calla Lily that he gave me were Zantedescia which are from South Africa. They are used to a humid soil. I have had several buds multiply but then die over the last month and a half and I've almost given up. I'm going to see if watering it twice a day will help.

Econ is driving me crazy. I understand it, but I didn't do so well on the last homework assignment, mainly because I made stupid mistakes and second guessed myself. This is why I am going to make an effort to work on my studies tomorrow. I need to read through these chapters and really make sure I have a solid understanding of it before the midterm.

Drew is meeting the fam this weekend. On Saturday, I plan on being in the St. Charles, MO Fourth of July parade. I have to be downtown by 7:30am (UUUUGH) and drive a go-cart (YAY). After that, we are going to make an appearance at my sister's house where her, my brother in law, mom, kellene, and the kids (with tons of extended family and in-laws family that will also be there). From there, I told Linda (my other sister), that we would stop by for a few. It should be good times. I can't wait for them to meet him. I really hope they all like him as much as I do.

Well...I suppose it is time for bed. Night
