It's actually a planter full of ferns, sansevieria* and gourds that I passed on my way home today after running a few errands.

I am not feeling so productive today, but I did go out and buy $500 worth of wine for the reception for our symposium. (Much cheaper if I buy it than if the caterer picks it up, even though the caterer physically picked it up from the State Store.) On the way there I purchased my Christmas stamps, so all that's required now is assembly. Everything I need to make the aprons is likewise assembled in my office or the upstairs kitchen. Now all that's called for is a little motivation...

*Or maybe a bromeliad...

My score:
You answered 30 out of 33 correctly — 90.91 %

I read somewhere on teh intertubes recently, including irismoonlight's LJ, I think, that the average score when they did this last spring was 49% -- but lawmakers didn't do that well. Sigh... why don't they just wise up and let me run things?
