I got a little dirty today. Dirty, as in dirt under my hot pink fingernails, not dirrty. My task from The Frisky was to buy a plant. Well...since I have been cooking up a storm lately, I decided to use this assignment to my advantage (as if the other ones weren't).
I bought myself seed packets of herbs! There is sweet basil, rosemary, and thyme. Uh, yumm!
I got a set of three magenta pots and a matching tray. I wasn't kidding about the dirty thing; the soil I got was compressed, so I had to add water and mix it with my hands in a bucket. I planted the seeds (following the directions), labeled each pot, and gave them a little drink...herbs like merlot, right?
According to the directions, the herbs will sprout in six weeks...but I'm hoping with a little extra love and care, they will speed it up a bit. I want a fresh tomato-basil salad, dammit! Okay and some rosemary potatoes wouldn't hurt either.
I enjoyed this task—and Orange Julius enjoyed helping me. Speaking of ole Orange Julius, this task is supposed to teach me to care for something other than a boyfriend...or a relationship, I guess. But I think I am a good friend for my kitty OJ!
In other news, I've totally gotten over Day 26. What happened, happened, and it wasn't my fault. I dated someone who wasn't ready for the same things I am, and now I'm trying to heal from it. Nuff said!
Looking forward, ideas are creeping in for what to do on Day 31. A friend in DC has a plan for Day 31—changing gender roles and asking out a guy myself.
What do you think? Say the word, I'll do it. Even though it scares the piss out of me. Okay, so not completely. After all, I'm a confident women. And if he says no, I'll slap him across the face.
Friday is the 30th, and last, day of this project and I'm hosting a celebration in honor of the occasion! So clear your calendars, everyone!
