romanticalgirl's garden today!
( Piccy. )
It makes me want my own garden -- which, admittedly, I've been wanting for some time. But effort and money were always factors, especially considering that I've made no secret of the fact that I suck, really suck, at growing things. I've never managed to keep a house plant alive for longer than 6 months. I've tried many times to get an avocado seed to sprout and have never succeeded. I tried growing potted basil and thyme and killed the plants within 2 weeks. So being responsible for a whole vegetable garden is somewhat daunting. I think I'm ready. It's kind of a lot to invest if I'm just gonna kill everything, you know? Not to mention how heartbroken I'd be if I failed. But I won't know until I actually do it, right? /wibble
I don't know about the rest of you Seattlites, but I've started taking D. You know, the vitamin. It's the only vitamin our bodies produce, but guess what, we can't produce D without sunlight. -.- So yeah, taking it with some calcium caplets. (Seriously, could they be bigger?)
I heard on the radio that they're making a TV series out of The Vampire Diaries. On the one hand, I have to roll my eyes at All Things Vampire now. On the other hand, I have sort of a guilty fangirl excitement about it, even though I don't plan to watch it, because I loved that series as a teenager! I can't even remember what it was about, except that there was a girl involved, and two vampire brothers. It was so the stuff of teenage fantasy. And ha! I was into vampires way before it became the It thing! Anyway, it must have stuck with me through the years, because when the commercial got to the part where the guy introduces himself as Stefan, right away I was like, omg ... can they have made a TV show out of TVD?! I didn't even know that I remembered the name Stefan, but apparently I did. I might even have the books around here somewhere. Should I read them again, or is it better to have fond memories that might not hold up on reread? Decisions!
