My patio flowers and random bickering.
I actually feel like blogging today. It seems like I’m never home anymore, and when I am I’m usually just bummin’ watching a movie or something. I’ve been slacking on doing laundry and there’s no damn food in the house, must go grocery shopping soon! I did accomplish one thing though; I planted some flowers and got more hanging flower baskets, so now my patio looks less white trash! It still looks pretty crappy due to the lover’s motorcycle parts all over the place, our mix matched neon chairs, and the rusty table. I’m in need of a patio set, but there’s more important things I need instead. (Like a trip to Michigan to see the fam…)
It’s my lovely patio that has a gorgeous view of a tree and the parking lot:
More photos after the cut…
The flower box. I think that’s what you call it? I planted Impatiens, and Salvia. They probably don’t go together but I tried my best to find flowers that would do alright in the shade. The little windmills are from the dollar store and I love them.
I don’t remember what I planted in this pot…. They don’t look that good right now. It used to have Marigolds and Pansies in it that I transplanted from the eggplant I had but they died. : / I think they needed more sun…
It’s been so hot and muggy outside so that could be the reason why some of the flowers are all jacked up looking. I swear I take care of them. I always water them and make sure not to over water them either. I wish my momma was around to help because she is the Bill Nye of gardening.
While I was out on my patio I snapped a picture of the car that the douchebag guy owns.
He lives below me, and I hate his car and I hate him. He’s one of those people who thinks the apartment complex parking lot is his own personal driveway. He always revs up his engine and the thing is a freakin’ beast so it’s super loud. And, he always plays music really loud, it wouldn’t be so bad if it was good music but it’s usually some crap like “Soulja Boy.” I normally wouldn’t complain so much but he also cut me off one day. Aaah, roadrage!
I went to Clearwater Beach yesterday and stayed until dark. I love going to the beach it’s so soothing listening to the waves, and having the breeze hit my face and blowing through my hair. The sunset was simply gorgeous! I took a lot of pictures and uploaded some to my flickr. This photo is probably my favorite out of all of them, I think I was actually standing in the water when I took it.
I must go eat up my leftover buffalo wild wings.
Hey there, I'm Crystal and this is my blog website. Here you'll read posts about my passions, life, and a lot of randomness.

I am so glad I don’t have neighbors like that!! Oooh, I think it is really annoying to hear loud music reverberate through your floors, specially if it’s as annoying as Soulja Boy!!! I hate that song.

Inspiration! This seriously just made me want to plant as soon as I move into my apartment
I’m super stoked! Wherever you live, it is BEAUTIFUL, which is another reason I love Florida.

My neighbor used to always blast Soulja Boy too! It was at my old place, and I would have to put on shoes and put my contacts on to go next door and yell at them to turn it down. Not fun.
I love your patio! It looks a lot like ours. We face the parking lot too, with some pretty trees and a great view far off since we’re on a hill.
I am so getting little windmills! I need to go get flowers like now. And I need at least a bench for the patio. At least you have chairs.

Cute flowers!
I need to do so gardening of my own, lol. My yard is looking like a big ole’ mess.

Your patio looks so lovely. I love flowers and plants but they tend to die here with the heat. =( And I guess I don’t take very good care of them. You’re doing a wonderful job though. Aww, it sucks that you have that guy as your neighbour. I’m grateful to be living around all folks that stay on their own so the neighbourhood is always pretty quiet.

What the HELL is that guy thinking with those ugly bright green rims on a burgundy SUV?? Ugh. His color choices make me dislike him already. How annoying!
Your patio looks so cute! I love flower boxes. I want some of my own.

It’s been so nice out lately that I’m actually excited for summer (and I’m not a huge fan of heat + summer)!
I hate people with loud and annoying cars too.. there is this really freaking loud Civic in my complex and the owner always goes out late at night or early in the morning so it always wakes me up. Grrr… one day I’m going to be tempted to key this car! lol jk!

Salvia, eh? I’m such a pothead, but I smoked Salvia once and it was intense. Never again!!!
Onto another subject, I love the flowers, they look pretty good. I’d say give them a bit more sun and they should be fine. =]
Look at those lime green rims, lmao! They look super hot with his red car, haha. Soulja boy…the kids around here still blast it and it drives me batty!

Screw you and your normalcy/domesticity!!!! Hahaha, kidding. DUDE! I have never ever planted a thing in my life! Not counting the required Agricultural units I took in high school, of course. Those don’t count: I planted vegetables FOR A FREAKING GRADE. Gah.
Is salvia, like…satya or something? That thing you smoke, like weed? Haha.

I’m kind of glad that I’m moving …. as the teens next to me are always having friends over and of course their drinking and being freakin loud at god knows what hour…. Cute lil patio.. I don’t get a patio in my new place (stupid basement suite)
