khaki paint and white trim

Today I planted seeds, tomato and basil. Apparently that's all I had left from my garden stash, save some lettuce.




Frankie spent some time at "grandma's" house while our complex did pest treatments, but now he's back and happy as a little white clam to be lounging in his sun again.
Rae has started the weekend work schedule, which leaves Frankie and I to our own devices while he is away. So far the seed planting is about the most productive thing I have accomplished.
I've written blogs and deleted them. I've edited some random photos, put words in my journal if inspired enough, but mostly saunter around the apartment from small task to task. So much has been happening lately, I feel flat when I have down time. School is amazing - I made Phase 2 (the honors program) and have been busting out cuts and colors left and right, having a blast doing it. I'm president of our Green Team and facilitate our weekly recycling for the school. I'm working on my application for Beacon - a national week long workshop for future stylists who are good enough to go. I need to make sure I'm not spending myself completely before 5pm every day. I know its good to be passionate, and love what you're doing/learning. But balancing is new to me.
After 5pm Rae and I are planning our trip to South America for 2013. Well, Rae is planning it and I'm giving what input I come up with. We're figuring out fund-saving and bill-paying. Coddling the kitty when we can and hand-breaking the mouse. We're dreaming of baby and a tiny house on expansive land where we can garden. Our energy is carefully doled out each day, but here we rest together. Inside our khaki paint and white trim.
