Maybe not.
So I have been wanting to start an herb garden for a while. I did some research and bought this cool self-watering planter that hangs on the railing from amazon.com. I figure I’m changing my life but it doesn’t change the fact that I know I would be very lazy at watering. Anywho, next I had to decide what herbs to plant. I had a bunch of suggestions but of all of them there was only one I knew I would actually use – basil. So now it’s a basil garden.
First attempt. I couldn’t find any basil plants in January (go figure! lol) so I bought seeds. I waited 8 weeks with vigilant weekly watering which resulted in NOTHING! I guess it was too cold or not sunny enough or whatever. FAIL number one.
Second attempt. I went to a nursery and found little basil plants! The next day when I wanted to plant them it starts raining on me. WTF Los Angeles! Anyway I guess the roots did not take. FAIL number two.
Third attempt looked like this about 20 days ago. Lush, green, ALIVE.
Now two of those plants are brown and dead and the third is on it’s way out.
Guess I’m not a gardener. At least I have these awesome cat figures in my planter box.
As I come up on my twenty-seventh year of life, I am taking this time to reflect. I look back and see…. not much. I feel like I’ve been pretty mediocre my whole life; not athletic or artsy or especially good at school. Well, that is about to change. It just has to.
With my birthday approaching I was asked “What do you want for your birthday?” And although I could name a million things, material and otherwise, I realized that none of them would make me truly happy. The only thing that will ever make me truly happy is finding happiness in myself – knowing deep down that I am the very best that I can be and being okay with that. So that’s where this blog comes in.
I will be trying out some new hobbies and trying to find my place in this world in the process. I know I have a special talent or something to offer the world in some way. I’ll be documenting my endeavors in this blog and I hope you enjoy the ride.
But for now, I’m content with being your everyday fellow kitty.
