i need a yard...

this is why.

if anyone needs a truckload of dirt...feel free.

i'm pretty sure there's more now.  i planted some weird, horrible stuff (like cactuses...) after i took it.  this picture, that is. it's also all over my kitchen. the dirt. is all over my kitchen.

living room

i rearranged, and by rearranged, i mean cleaned, my windowsills and put good plants/photos/etc on them!

ps.  i just had a very awkward experience, but i played it off brilliantly, if i do say so myself.

what happened was this:  my new neighbor came over to borrow some vanilla, which i didn't have.  which was not the awkward part. 

the awkward part was that i had 3 tons of dirt on my living room floor next to the microwave and noodle drainer thing (also in the living room), and two bras randomly on my coffee table.  i don't even know how they got there!  i would hope that maybe he just didn't notice, but he seemed like the observant type, so i'll just go ahead and fear the worst. 

here was me playing it off:  "i feel like i should have some vanilla, but i can't find any.  i barely ever cook, so you never know" (as my whole flat smelled like bacon since i cooked this morning...)

or ok.  maybe i didn't play it off.  and now i'll be known as the girl with bras on her table.  but it's kind of exciting anyways because this is the first neighbor i've met since i moved in last august! and he has red hair! (i don't count the one i met from the basement who i had lecture And lab with, because he always acted like he didn't know me)
