late night planting

I found myself, just after midnight, sitting on the kitchen floor dipping the ends of cuttings into a fungicide that says, "wear a mask and rubber gloves when handling this product. absorption of toxins is increased by consumption of alcohol," when I just got back from an evening of consumption of alcohol. Not a lot of alcohol, but alcohol was consumed. By me. I meant to plant the cuttings before going out for the evening, but you know how it goes. You come home from work and there is a little interneting and a little eating and suddenly you are late leaving the apartment, but the cuttings won't last until tomorrow all a-wrapped up in a damp paper towel, so you have to plant them in the night. While apparently extra-vulnerable to the toxins.

what are you planting, woman? sounds dicey. also, love your post about spanish, and am thrilled that you're taking it again. if youd like to send emails in spanish, i'll respond (albeit with my now crappy convoluted spanish... i have a hard time tutoring sometimes, because in the conversation part i say words that i'm like... um ... nevermind, don't use that word, hardly anyone does.) anyhow. let's catch up soon. what are your plans for this weekend?
