Until today.
The grief of that loss came flooding back to me as I realized I would have to euthanize another faithful family member... Moody Teen's Homer Simpson Chia Pet, which was a Christmas present from his best bud. I don't think he was too emotionally invested, however, as I was the one who excitedly ripped open the box, carefully read the directions, mixed up the seed paste and gingerly applied it to Homer's bald, terra cotta head. It wasn't long until the tiny, green seedlings took root and began to grow. I was just so proud of my accomplishment, thinking Homer would be my redemption... A chance to prove I really do have a green thumb, after the hundreds of innocent plants I have killed in the past. Well, not so fast...
This morning, I went to check on Homer and found him in a shocking state of distress. I guess it's time to say goodbye. Homer, I loved you, tho I hardly knew ye.
Oh, and by the way, this happens to be my 100th post. So, in the famous words of our dear Homer Simpson... Woo-Hoo!!!

awe, poor Homer. He's balding.
D'oh!
(Sorry, couldn't resist.)
I'll bring over donuts to share at the memorial. We can bury him in the box when we're done.
Sniff.
He does have a little male pattern baldness going on doesn't he? Maybe they sell some Rogain for Chia pets. You should look into that before you throw him out. Or will that just be prolonging the inevitable?
what the heck! two deaths in one week? what is going on. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Homer, may you rest in peace.
That thing is highly disturbing looking. But give yourself an A for effort Deb.
And are you REALLY gonna let this 100th post slide by with no pomp and circumstance except for a dead Chia Homer pet?
I expect to come back later today and find 100, yes that's 100, things about you. That's what bloggers do right?
:-)
Sorry about Mel. Homer, not so much.
Happy 100th post!
RIP.
Or you could revive him with a head of yellow playdoh.
Ok, not a full head of playdoh - just those few little strings of hair he has.
Dum,Dum Dah-dum,dah-dee-dum,dum, dum, dum, dum...DoH!! He looks better bald anyways!
LOL...I SO want a homer chia. Maybe a trip to Walgreens is in order today.
Congratulations, my beautiful re-found friend, on your 100th post.
I know I speak for me, and Im pretty sure I speak for many when I say...
I'm so glad you stayed with it.
Good luck quitting now.
Did you have a burst of energy with all these posts? Dang girl!
Don't scare me again with a post title like that either--- man.
As to Homer-- I agree he may just be balding and if you give him a little extra care he may bounce back. If not, or well, sieze the day or something like that. BAHAHAHAHAHA
100 posts-- YEAH you:)
Homer's losing his hair. Happens to the best of them.
Kudos on the 100 posts. Your blog makes me happy. :-)
