Prehistoric Pixie Stix Found in Michigan Basement!

So, my latest news is big - rising of a relgious savior big! In the miraclulous holy ground that is my basement, another miracle has occured! The angels on high told me that before I could remodel my basement, I have to clean out my rat's nest of junk and Rubbermaid bins. Yeah, it really took angels for me to figure it out.

Then precious days ago I came upon the miraculous artifact - preserved in prestine conidtion in the bottom of a blue tote - unsoiled and unspoiled my the cruelty of time. The lights of heaven shone down on it, and is was a vision to behold. I had found - PIXIE STIX!

Not just any Pixie Stix, either: Glorious, ethereal Pixie Stix still sealed in their original package, with an expiration date of January, 1998!

Now I ask you, if you found 10 year-old Pixie Stix sealed and calling to you, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

Sure, maybe a lesser woman would've thrown them out. Tossed them aside as if garbage. But not this woman! I recognized them for the treasures they are. I was presented with a rare opportunity - to test the natural effects of aged Pixie Stix on the human anatomy.

So I ate them.

Wouldn't you?

The orange didn't have much flavor. But the blue tasted very BLUE. (You'd understand what I meant if you tasted it!)

And then that night she had a stomachache.

Number of days until the new season of Lost: 12

Behold, the Amazing Self-Watering Plant!

Ladies and gentleman, I have quite a treat for you - what you see below is the world's first self-watering plant! Ooh at its intrigue, Aah at its wonder!

I give you - Fred the Kalanchoe plant!

Ok, so this plant actually comes from my basement - currently a dark pit of construction mayhem. It has a quiet little life under a functioning plant light where it gets watered, maybe every 2-3 weeks. Well, it hasn't been watered in about 3 weeks now, and lo and behold - the freakin' thing is flooded. Yes, it's water. (I did a smell test). No, it didn't come from pipes above, spillage from elsewhere, leakage from anything. No other surfaces around it are wet (dust is still settled around it), and nearby plants are still desert-dry. Just me and my husband in our house - so it cannot be anyone else.

Oh, the mystery! I'll post an update soon to see if the flood subsides.
