Welcome to the real world she said to me, condescendingly, take a seat
Tiffany: I'm scared to enter the real world and start working
Me: It's fun - I make money and I can buy as many oranges as I want
Tiffany: When I grow up, I'll eat only apples
I planted a garden! I decided to spend this gorgeous Sunday afternoon tackling starting #16 on my 30 Before 30 list. Although I’ve always wanted to grow a vegetable garden, I’ve never had a place for one. Living in apartments and rentals makes that kind of difficult. Luckily, the house I’m living in now has a fantastic yard and my landlord gave me the go-ahead to plant things in the backyard.
First, I scoped out a spot.
Second, I went to home depot and bought a bunch of seeds. Then, I returned all of those seeds because my dad told me that I couldn’t plant 6 kinds of vine plants in such a small space.
Third, I outlined an area with some bricks I found in the backyard.
Fourth, I dug up 95% of the weeds (including 2 small-ish tree things). Then I broke my 88 cent shovel and had to buy a new one.
Fifth, I bought a new 88 cent shovel and finished clearing out the weeds and mulch. I also bought some plants and new seeds.
Sixth, I planted! I have:
- 2 regular tomato plants
- 1 yellow cherry tomato plant
- 1 red bell pepper plant
- 2 rows of snap peas
- 1 row of carrots
I’m so smooth
I LOVE when I’m running on a trail and somehow manage to faceplant in front of some cute guy on a bike. And I LOVE when I’m trying to convince him that despite being covered in dirt (and only a little blood) that I really am okay. And I ESPECIALLY LOVE when he says “really?” and pulls a stick out of my hair.
Why am I so attractive?
The guy at the grocery store told me my bulk food would weigh less if I didn’t tie a knot in the top of the bag. Somehow I don’t think that’s a valid statement.
Note to self:
Making waffles with olive oil does NOT taste good.
This morning my bed had 2 pillows on it, now it has 4
While it doesn’t seem like a big change, it feels sooooo much nicer now. Kinda like a hotel bed. And hotel beds are, well, awesome.
Sleep all day, up all night….story of my life!
I caught some kind of hornet/wasp/bee thing in my room today! It’s been under that cup for close to 5 hours…I don’t know what to do with it and I’m kind of afraid to mess with it!
run run run
10 miles in the morning
AKA I need to put down my book and sleep! Too bad my night shift body thinks It’s time to work and be wide awake right now.
