Pumpkins
After Mum and Dad have decided I am not ready to care for a pet of my own (they are making a total mistake- you should see my succulents, they are SO growing up well even if four or five had to die first), they think in order to prove my pet-having-worthiness, that I should grow some vegetables and when they are sufficiently well cared for I may start considering getting a pet.
I was originally going to grow snowpeas but instead I'm going to grow pumpkins. This is not because I'm a great fan of pumpkins, more because if perhaps I have pumpkins in the garden my fairy god mother will jump out of nowhere and turn me into a princess...
(just on a note of irony, if my fairy god mother jumped out of nowhere, i'm not sure I would ask to be turned into a princess since I could wish for many worthier things, but if I had no choice but to be a princess then a pumpkin maybe useful)
...I also want to start experimenting with pumpkins as an ingredient in pasta (yumm) since most pumpkin pastas in restaurants use mushrooms so I cannot eat them.
Another more believable reason for growing pumpkins is that (if I remember rightly from my younger days) pumpkins tend to grow and spread out and take over other plants and I think I fancy world domination by pumpkin growing.
Also to see peoples faces if I rock up to visit them and present them with a pumpkin as opposed to a packet of biscuits or bag of chips. I wonder how a pumpkin would look tied up in a ribbon.
In other news today I went for lunch/afternoon tea with bron and jess and had a very good time even though I felt very anxious! I also felt very anxious when i caught up with a friend yesterday so now I think my meds are making me anxious. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME! THERE IS NO MEDS ON EATH THAT CURE ME!
(that or i had anxiety to start with)
