Flowers and Reading

In my Easter package Tasha sent over with me was this miniature egg flower pot/a soil pod and some forget me not seeds.  Now that I am moved in I thought I would give growing my seeds a try to see if I have a green thumb.  I put the little soil pod in a cup and added a tbsp of water and BAM it expanded and the entire cup filled up with soil (I was impressed), then I took 5 of the seeds per the directions and put them down in the soil a little bit.  It said the seeds need sun so I put on my coffee table in the living room and in the am when the sun shines though the doors it will get sun and then it will get its shade once the sun passes.  So far I haven't seen any sprouts, but I'm going to be patient and hope they grow.

They said once the flowers grow I will have to replant them.  Then hopefully I can grow more in my starter pot because they gave me a bunch of seeds.  Wish me luck!

Remember my library card I went and got a few weeks back?!  Well, I went on-line and put a few books on reserve and one finally came in so I walked across town to pick it up.  I noticed on the slip inside the book it said I owed .80, I thought to myself, how in the world do I already owe money when I haven't even checked out the book yet?  I got in line and asked the librarian the deal-eo and she said when you put a book on hold and it comes from another library you have to pay (seriously?!), I said oh...not a problem, so I paid my dues so I could get it over with (I hate owing money).  I couldn't get too ticked because get this....back home when you put a book on reserve and it comes in you have ~5 days to pick it up, here you get ~14 days (you'd think if you put a book on reserve you'd be excited and not wait 2 weeks to pick it up, but whatevs).  Here's the even better part, back home if you check out a book you get to keep it for 14 days but here you get it for 30 days, is that not totally supreme?!?!  

2 of my favorite things, Starbucks and books.  This is the latest Nicholas Sparks books and no...it's not some cheesy romance novel! If you've ever seen the movie The Notebook, Message in a Bottle, or A Walk to Remember (among others), he is the author that wrote those books.  His books are fantastic!  Had the book read within a week and returned it for the next reader.  Now I'm waiting for my next book that I have on reserve to come in.
