#11 Grow Something

There is a comedian that my sister and I like to quote.  I can't remember his name but part of his act is mentioning that he once had a cactus but he killed it, "The desert is officially more nurturing than I am."  My sister and I laugh because no matter how we try we can't keep plants alive!  My mom has an amazing garden so who knows what happened to Kelly and I!

I decided that I was going to conquer my un-green thumb by making one of the items on my list to grow something.  I got some daisy seeds (my favorite flower) a pot, and some soil and set my mind to making this thing grow!  I mean how hard could it be...it wants to be alive right??  WRONG!!  Things started off so well.  One little sprout lead to two and before I knew it I had 6 stems growing!  But as quickly as they popped out of the soil they started to take a turn for the worst.  And before I knew it my hopes and dreams of growing something were completely dead. 

But the goal of this item was to grow something!  And I like to think of myself as an optimist!  I DID grow something!  The item wasn't to grow something and keep it alive!  So technically I succeeded!  Much like when in college and I had to pass intermediate Spanish to graduate!  All I need was a D- and I pulled off a C.  My dad was kind of appalled at a C grade but when all you need is a D- and you get a C you kind of succeed with flying colors!!!!! 

So mark #11 off the list!!  One step closer to completing my 30 before 30!!

The beginning of the end...
