So seen any good movies lately? I saw Juno and Untraceable the last couple weekends. Both were great movies. I can see why Juno was nominated for some many awards, the high school sarcastic humor in it is priceless!!! Untraceable is a movie similar to Saw that has you guessing what's going to happen next.

I have a question for you, for myself and especially for a friend of mine. He is interested in getting some type of palm for inside the house, beside the window with afternoon light. I don't know much about indoor plants, so maybe you'll have some ideas. It would sit near a vent so humidity may be an issue for him. Got any ideas? Thanks Dolly!
