Love of life

Que vida la mia!! My life is so weird. It's not difficult, or chaotic, it's simply weird. And I am the biggest reason that it's weird. I just do, think, and say weird things. I don't get me... But this post isn't about me! Well, it is... but it's about more than just me! It's about LIFE. Which is awesome :) I'm working in a grocery store, which is silly. It's not bad, I just don't love it. I didn't expect to, I'm just about ready for my next job though. Haha! I do recognize that I am blessed to be employed. They just don't pay or work me enough... But I don't mean to complain!! It's better than nothing!

Now! I love life. What do you think when I say that? My life? The act of "living life"? Eh? Anything?

WRONG! I love LIVING THINGS! Almost all of them! I've developed a lobsession (love+obsession) with plants/gardening. As I've mentioned before (I think), I have an avocado plant that I've been caring for from seedling-hood. Well, I planted it in a pot, and it was doing so good!! Then I stopped checking up on it. It had rained a lot, and my dog loved to smell it (or push it around with her nose, as I see it), and it was laying on top of the dirt. I was so scared for its life! I didn't know how long it had been that way, but it was a little bit dry, so I tried to re-plant it and give it water. It seems to be doing ok. I moved the pot to the front yard where my dog will never find it >:) Hahaha

This is what my avocado plant looked like when I found it.

Yesterday (Wednesday, September 26, 2012) was CLUB DAY at FSCJ!! I've never joined a club, but I do love to see all of the students participating in activities. Earlier that morning in adolescent psychology, Professor Moses (my favorite professor ever) mentioned that the gardening club was selling some plants! I didn't even know there WAS a gardening club!! I was so excited. She mentioned that they had herbs, and I was THRILLED! Then she said that they had cilantro. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A CILANTRO PLANT!! Lowe's AND Home Depot haven't had any for awhile! BUT, I had no cash... So I texted my brother to see if he had any. HE HAD FIVE DOLLA!! I got a cilantro plant, and I was so excited! Here it is in its new home on my front porch...

My cilantro plant I got from FSCJ's gardening club :)

I love plants. It's a new-ish passion of mine :)

Now, on to another love of mine... ANIMALS. I do love all animals, but recently-ish, I've fallen head-over-heels in love with farm animals. Particularly... all of them. So on Sunday when my sister said she was going to take our brother to Lake City for his friend's mission farewell party, I WAS SO THERE! We went, and we passed a huge field filled with cows. We stopped and I yelled "Hi cows" to them. A few of them looked at me, and I got so excited! We got to the house where the party was, and they had horses. HORSES! So we drove up, said hi to people, got some food, then I practically dragged my sister to the horses. There was one all by himself eating, so I started to call him over. He was so beautiful! He let me pet him, and he stayed near where I was for a good portion of time. He was so precious. He was also old, I could tell. But still, he was an angel! We spent more than an hour hanging out with him, and taking pictures. I love the country. I've always had a special place in my heart for trucks, and "roughing it." I love camping, dirt, and animals. Every time I go out somewhere like that, I melt a little bit. I have to find myself a cowboy one day.

Me and the old man <3

Again, me and my sweet :) I have a severely tender soft spot for this horse.

The other horse who I tried to make love me. He wasn't as fond of me. I was fond of him though. HE'S GORGEOUS.

Anyway, I just thought I'd share my love of life with you. It's great, isn't it? :)


Loves and hearts <3
