somber colored plants

Bronze Carpet Stonecrop

Sedum spurium 'Bronze Carpet'

this is a nice somber colored plant. the color looks like a deep burgendy. this will be nice to keep in my concrete planter with the leptinella, which has a green and deep purple look that will make a nice counterpoint to the burgendy stonecrop. i should look or this at dewaynes.

financial aid

apparently i need to fill out a low income form and say i earned some money.

things to do today

i need to call the petshops in fayettville and ask them if they can order me cherry shrimp. from what i've seen they are probably the easiest to obtain algea eating shrimp that will breed in fresh water. i should ask for freshwater cherry shrimp, scientific name (Neocaridina heteropoda).

on ebay they are for sale for $1.99 ea + shipping $7.00
1 cherry shrimp would cost $9
if i can do better from a pet shop i'll take my buisiness there.

the pets shops i will give buisiness to:
petsmart (910) 867-2300,
petsupermarket (910) 484-8577,
that fat old guy on yadkin road (910) 864-3457,
that bald ethnic guy on owen drive (910) 864-3469,
thats all i can think of .

i need to call financial aid about some paperwork i need to fill out  910.521.6255.
i need to register for an art or p.e. class for next semester.
i need to register for a writing class this summer.
i need to fill out my resume.
i need to sand and refinish the angle moulding in the living room
i need to clean the appartment put everything away vacuum, sanitize, and sweep
i need to clean the bottom of my twenty gallon aquarium
i need to put gravel in it
i need to take moss/plants from ten gallon tank and attach it to the ugly rocks i dont want to see and put them in my 20 gallon aquarium
i need to play the violin

i'd like some miniature grass leaved plants to grow in the foreground of my aquarium. i've found a few small small plant species on line but i have to find one that is availible for sale and that is affordable.

Utricularia graminifolia is a species i've read alot about. its was very popular a year ago. hieght 2cm-8cm.

this is exactly what i need for the miniature island project. i could put one of these reptile foggers in one of the mountians to give a very life like impression of clouds around to summit. it will look so real, so like a view of a real island but from far away.
