My interior decorating project right now is painting my new office. That would have been a whole lot easier if I would have done the taping. I didn't though.

It would also be easier if there wasn't 15 tons of crap in there that I'm not allowed to throw away. I'm not sure where all that crap is going, but my office will be free of womanly knick knacks. Shelves are for books, not porcelain cats or china sets that we can't use because they are old.

When that's done my present office will become the bedroom (gonna fix the drywall in here myself...it really shouldn't take a day to sand a room) and the upstairs will become her sewing room or something. I'm not sure what she has planned up there, actually. I don't care either...it doesn't need paint or insulating or electrical work. Maybe she can put those damned plates up there.

Maybe those old plates and such, are valuable...maybe the Antiques Road Show will stop in your neighbourhood, and she will make you carry them there...

You are
A Sundew!
These are some of the most vicious plants that have ever graced this planet. They come in all shapes and sizes, and are able to survive almost anywhere on land. They may have rosette leaves, branchy leaves or even oval shaped leaves, however all leaves are flat and covered with tiny tentacle like hairs. Each of these hairs is actually a gland which is covered in a dew like substance. When an insect lured by the fragrant and glittering leaf lands upon it, it quickly finds itself stuck fast. Once stuck, insects have been known to rip their own legs off trying to get free. Sometimes the insect is lucky enough to suffocate, having its breathing holes coated in the goo. Other insects don’t die until they are dissolved in the bath of enzymes and acids that is quickly secreted around it. Some drosera even curl their leaves around their prey, to get the most digestive area possible. Despite their violent tendencies, Sundews use their diverse forms to survive almost anywhere.

You are
A Cobra Lily!
This extremely attractive plant gains its name because its traps look like cobras about to strike. The Cobra Lily only grows in Northern California and Southern Oregon, in mountainous terrain. It is an inverted pitcher plant, which grows with a slight twist. It has a “tongue” appendage which is coated with very strongly scented nectar. At the top of the tongue is an opening, leading into the hood of the pitcher. Once inside, an insect will be confused by the translucent windows at the top of the hood. Often it will fly into these miniscule windows only to be knocked down to the bottom of the pitcher. It will eventually drown in the water that collects at the bottom of the pitcher. It is still debated as to whether this plant is truly carnivorous, since it has bacteria that help it digest its prey. Interestingly enough, the scent of its nectar is strong enough to lure and capture larger prey, such as Pacific tree frogs.

I like it 8) I can't get the pic to work though :x

You are
A Dewy Pine!
This plant is something of an anomaly among carnivorous plants. It is the only one to live in a dry arid place and can live for months without a lot of water. Native to areas of Portugal and Spain, it is found on dry alkaline hills in a Mediterranean climate. From a distance these plants resemble pines, but a closer inspection will reveal that each leaf is covered in little red glands that have a dew like substance clinging to them. The dew smells a great deal like bee honey and will lure many insects. When the insect lands, it finds itself caught in an oily drop and it will struggle to escape. The struggle only helps to pull the liquid free from the gland and as the entrapped insect slides down the leaf, it collects more of the viscous fluid. After that, it drowns and is digested at the base of the plant. If there was ever an unlikely carnivorous plant, the Dewy Pine is it.

Just to get back to interior decoration for a bit....Only one coat to go. Then all I have to do is run a plug for the computer and it's done...I can move the office.
