(It&#8217;s the least he could do after all of his birthday gifts this year.) The new orchid reminds me of my fake orchid at work that everyone thinks is real.  I had gotten it from Kirkland&#8217;s over six years ago.  <\/p>\n<p>I got a real orchid this time, though.  It&#8217;s one of those <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.justaddiceorchids.com\/\" >Just Add Ice<\/a> orchids.  So now I have an orchid at home, too.  We named her Penelope.<\/p>\n<p>They had a couple of orchids left at Sam&#8217;s Club for $10.  We went there on Sunday after lunch with Brian&#8217;s parents at Carrabba&#8217;s.  We needed to pick up something for Cory and April&#8217;s Oscar Mayer party.<\/p>\n<p>Believe it or not, my real orchid was actually cheaper than my fake one.  Though, I don&#8217;t really remember how much I paid since I bought that other one so long ago.  My fake orchid is great because it looks real, yet it doesn&#8217;t need watering so I can&#8217;t kill it even if I tried.  Can you get more low maintenance than that?<\/p>\n<p>The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.justaddiceorchids.com\/\" >Just Add Ice<\/a> orchids come pretty close to being as low maintenance as fake orchids.  You just put three ice cubes once a week.  That&#8217;s all it takes to water them.  It&#8217;s almost like they thought of me.  =P<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"500\" height=\"280\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/XYIY5F8DU14&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/XYIY5F8DU14&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"500\" height=\"280\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian got me an orchid for his birthday.
