What I do when I'm Bored

I have no reason to be bored. At all. I've been running around like crazy since school started (first time I've been in classes in 2.5 years). but for some reason, that just isn't enough to keep me occupied (ha! I'm insane), so I've started saving seeds from my fruits and learning how to make them germinate.

So far, I have 3 granny-smith apple seeds and 2 lemon seeds that have all sprouted and just got moved to their dirt homes just within the past day or two. Also, I'm trying to grow an avocado pit. I have more seeds still incubating including more lemon seeds and some other type of apple that I forget. I also "seasoned" 3 honeylocust seeds, but I don't know if it worked or not. As soon as I seasoned them, the instructions I found online said to plant them right away. So I put 3 in one pot and I am waiting to see if any take root. Ugh, suspense.

I am going to need more dirt and more pots I think.

PS, speaking of seeds, if you are looking to grow awesome tomatoes, check out this website! It's so much fun.

Bubbles!

I was taking out the trash earlier today and on my way back, I look up at my apartment complex to see my adult neighbor blowing bubbles into the air unashamedly. Awesome. I smiled and he noticed and started laughing. He said he "just felt like blowing [his] bubbles." Even better.

It was such a great display of childlike innocence. He was standing on his balcony on the third floor, happily blowing his bubbles and watching them float down below. I feel like stuff like this doesn't happen very often. People are too busy doing grown-up things to enjoy life's simple pleasures. Not that grown-up things are bad, but there is definitely a place for some childlike fun, too. It was a "stop-and-smell-the-roses" kind of moment.

This totally just made my day.
