44. Plant a window-sill herb garden.

For Christmas last year, J bought me a few herb garden kits for our windowsill. When the spring came - I planted both dill and basil seeds. Surprisingly, they grew. like really grew. By June, I had two little 5-6 inch plants. I was amazed. I never thought anything would be able to grow on our apartment window sill.

They were growing great until we left for our vacation last year. While we were in Arizona, they were slowly wasting away. I tried to revive them once we got back with no luck. I mostly regret not using the herbs I grew when they were alive. I make a mean tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil salad. But alas...

 That was last year.

This year, I planted some left over seeds as well as some new ones.

In order by container:

Lavender, Oregano, and Thyme,

Marigolds,

Herb Mix,

Tomatoes,

Clovers,

and Joshua Trees

(a little souviner I pickup up last summer in AZ)

I planted them all in the leftover pots and soil from last year and added some water hoping for the best.

That was last Sunday.

After spritzing with water the past few days, I pleasantly found this when I came home from work yesterday.

Clover sprouts.

and thyme sprouts.

Now I just need to not drown them in water or have Layla discover them as new toys.

This could be interesting.

26. Go to the dentist every six months. (2/6)

Also I went to the dentist on Tuesday and she said I needed to floss more.

boo.

50. Figure out how to organize the "things that have no home” drawer in kitchen.

I have been really bad with blogging this month.  Like really bad.  Everyday I login onto to blogger and I have 6-7 pending posts I start writing, stop because I need to download pictures, and never finish.  Add to that this death cold I have been fighting and the renovations completed to our apartment and that pretty much sums up the past month.  Fun stuff right?  

This is where #50 comes into play. I regret not taking a picture of our disorganized drawer, but imagine that everything in this bag below was just thrown in the drawer all willy-nilly like, because that's exactly what happened.  That's the level of disorganization we're dealing with folks.

Here is a picture of the new drawer. I love me some new-cabinet smell.

Post organization.

After getting rid of roughly 483 dried-up pens and 38 takeout menus - we arrived at a level of organization which J and I can maintain.  I used some older containers and boxes to create dividers and compartments.  Oh and two old shot glasses to store the paper-clips and rubber-bands.  I hate when those sink to the bottom of the drawer.

55. Adopt a pet.

Please met the newest member of our household - Layla.  She is adjusting well and enjoys climbing in the fridge, chasing flying hair-ties, and investigating our bookcase.

We adopted her from a shelter and she is estimated to be about 5 months old. :)

Hoppy Easter from J&J + Layla!
