The Obsessive Neurotic Gardener

Yes, we are coming up on that time of year.

ESPN will show their top ten plays of the year. VH1 will have their top ten craziest acts of the year committed by a former child actor who is now a wanna-be reality star. Nancy Grace will have her top ten moments of acting as judge and jury on some poor sap on her TV show. Jon Stewart could have his top ten moments of having his finger on the pulse more than our own government.

But I digress …  

It’s looking back on 2010 time and I’m ready to play too. Today, it’s ten things I still can’t believe I actually said in 2010:

  • “I can’t make it to your house for the opening weekend in the NFL, I’ll be in Dallas for the Garden Writer’s conference.”
  • “When is Oprah’s ‘Favorite Things’ going to air?”
  • “I’ll be right back, don’t let the kids know I am going to pee on the compost”
  • “I really like using this Yucca as a focal point in my front bed”
  • “I really need to focus more on SEO and use more keywords in the anchor text but not forgetting the value of backlinks.”
  • “I’ll be right back, I’m going to head out to the back deck and cut us some lettuce for our salad”
 
  • “I find Twitter very difficult to use, I don’t see myself using it very often.”
  • “I really think this is the year the Mets put it all together”
  • “I can’t imagine I’ll have the time or patience to take photos of any wildlife out in the yard.” 
 

  • “It’s a garden blog. I’m just going to dabble in it a bit and maybe take a few pictures here and there. I can’t imagine I’ll work real hard on it or obsess over it.”
