There is the stigma of a single female growing old and having a lot of cats. Being somewhat allergic to cats and dogs (some breeds cause a worse reaction than others), it's really the combo of the allergy and not wanting to deal with poop that has kept me from becoming a pet owner. Instead, I have plants. Twelve to be exact with the latest addition. I was at Ikea in the kitchen accessory section when I saw the eggshaped container (Asker). The intended use is for the container to hang on a rack and hold silverware and such, but throw a dish underneath to take care of the drain hole and it makes a great small planter. I opted for a jade plant since it is slow growing. And no, I haven't named any of the plants (yet)...
The plural in the title is that I bought a new camera which was used to take the photo. As my friends know, I tend to carry too much stuff in my bag, including a camera. My smallest one isn't all that small or lightweight and while the iPhone can take photos, they aren't the highest quality. My very first digital camera which my folks gave me for Christmas one year was a Canon Elph (S100 I think). I loved that I could take the little but mighty (at the time) camera with me everywhere. So with that in mind, I picked up the Canon SD870 which is in the PowerShot/Elph line. Time will tell how I like it, but I know for sure that my back will thank me.
