I'm growing veggies in little pots outside my window: tomatoes, peppers, beans, and watermelon. Everything is growing, to an extent, but the beans are the only thing showing any signs of producing something.

Giant bean!
Bean, actual size.

There are about...5 beans so far. I'm pretty excited though, regardless, because most of what I've tried to grow up to this point has just died. The calla lily Erin gave me is still going strong, and a daisy plant I got from school in June is not only still alive, it's flowering again!

yay me!

I'm going to look at an apartment tomorrow. "Avail August 1st. Bachelor or 2 bdrm apts with balcony. elevators, storage lockers, laundry facilities, close to drug store. $340-$550 per month. Seniors welcome." They take cats, and I'll feel pretty safe living with seniors. I asked the guy if it's only for seniors or for anyone, and I was joking, but he said 'well we do make exceptions, how old are you?' I said I'm 24 and a teacher, and I guess that passed criteria because I'm allowed to see it. I'm looking at the bachelor, maybe the one bedroom, we'll see. $340 is a pretty tough price to beat, esp for cats allowed and laundry faciilties, security doors etc. I'm going to take a drive by later to see if it looks decent from the outside, but I'll probably go regardless tomorrow, some places look really dumpy outside but are nice inside.

I'm pretty excited, it might be cool living with old people. I don't like to par-tay much, so it shouldn't be a problem at all, and maybe they'll bake me brownies or something!
