Beauty and the Beast

Yesterday I took T to the Orchid Show. I figured she would enjoy it because we recently read a book that had orchids in it and she loved looking at pictures of them online. My theory was that she would admire the flowers and I would take pictures of them. Yeah. Why did I think that was a good idea? I did get a few good shots, but I spent most of my time chasing her down trying to keep her from touching (destroying) the displays. We did come home with a chocolate orchid that smells divine, so it wasn't a total loss. Now bets are on: how long will it take me to kill it? (The orchid, not T.)
