This just amazes me! Tulips grow in the vase after they are cut!! Look closely at the 2 pictures - I tried to get them about the same size. The red tulips are about 1.5 inches longer and the pink ones have grown by about 2 inches!! The first picture on the top was taken Wednesday morning, and I just took the 2nd one (on the bottom) at lunch time on Friday. Pretty neat - huh?
I do love Valentine's Day! Because it is a day to especially honor the one you love and do fun things for them!My dear hubby always sends me flowers and I love that! He always send them a day early so they greet me in my office when I walk in on Valentine's Day! This is what he sent me this year. I LOVE tulips, so that's what he sent! They look so pretty this morning in their bright red vase, and since tulips continue to grow after they are put in water, they will be taller and larger by the end of the week when I take them home! Thanks Babe!! I love them!!!On another totally unrelated topic (my mind works this way - sorry!), I have a new tattoo! Oh - it's not anywhere on my bod - I think I'd feel silly doing that! I had my eyebrows tattooed on! I have really blonde eyebrows and they never lasted all day when I would pencil them on 
in the morning. I have had my eyeliner tatooed on for about a year (LOVE that!!) and since the permanent makeup place I go to had a sale in January, what was I to do??!! I went and had my eyeliner touched up and added eyebrows! It is fun to wake up in the morning and have part of my face already on!!
my Dishmaster!! For 30 years I had a Dishmaster for my kitchen sink faucet. (Sorry about the link - I couldn't get the picture to post!) It was not sleek or stylish, but it worked sooooo well!! You put the dish soap in the container on the top and when you press the button on the brush handle soapy water comes out. You release the button and clear water runs. It had a smallish brush head that fit into everything and made quick work of washing everything without getting my hands in the soapy water! I had to replace it one time - so not only was it incredibly handy - it was durable.I now live in an apartment - it is not mine, therefore my needs are not taken into consideration when choosing a kitchen sink faucet. 
What I have is probably the cheapest faucet on the market - it sits low in the sink, so getting pans under it to rinse is a pain. I removed the metal nozzle and put this attractive rubber thing on it so I can at least direct the stream of water. Then I attempted to purchase a suitable replacement for my dishmaster. 
I started with that brush thing - it holds soap and the brush is interchangable with a spongy pad thing. The pad came apart from its holder after about a week, so I put the brush head on. It is HUGE - it is also stiff and misses most of what I want it to scrub off before dishes go into the dishwasher!! It does not fit into anything - and since the soap goes in on the side of the handle and leaks, the handle was always covered with dry dish soap!! I quit putting soap in it and that sort of defeated the purpose! SO - - I purchased the thing with the pad on it - nice little scrubby thing - holds soap, looks handy - soap goes in from the end, and does not leak. It unfortunately does not come out the scrubby end EITHER!!! Well, I take that back - after I hold the sponge under water then use my fingers and squish the pad 10 or 15 times I can get some soapyness to appear on the sponge!! It is very stiff, and because of that does not fit into many things!! It does an acceptable job on totally flat items - crummy on things with a curve!! SO -- I purchased that attractive red thing - it dispenses dish soap and has a little slot for a sponge, that I use when the brush and the round scrubby don't fit and I'm feeling the need to get my hands wet and soapy!!!!!!!!I've done a little research and discovered that Dishmaster has come up with a new model - they put the soap holder under the sink and make the whole unit more updated. Check this one out - now we're talkin'!! Hubby and I will (hopefully) be installing this one shortly after we move in to our home up north!! (I say hopefully, because there are certain hole measurments that it needs to have - hopefully they are what my sink has!!)You are probably shaking your head in amazement that an intelligent woman could pine for a Dishmaster - and I don't blame you for that! But it's true - I reeeeaaaaally dooooo miss it!!
