I am sentimental about my possessions, I suppose. My boyfriend could almost not be more opposite from me in that regard. He doesn't really like to keep anything.

Maybe we'll balance each other out? Both of our moms keep too much stuff, so hopefully we won't have to worry about loading up our living spaces with junk... Dunno. A lot of the time I just don't throw stuff out because I don't know how. Like, I don't want to just dump a brush I don't use into the trash. But do I give it away? Can you give brushes away? :S I guess it's more of an environmental concern than a sentimental one. I'm not particularly emotionally attached to old hairbrushes and stretched-out hairties.

I have some pictures here to show you.

My mom bought my dad a fruit tree that produces a bunch of different things... The peaches off it have been pretty good, but we ate all of them I think. Here's one.

(Apologies for the darkness...)

Here are some of the plums growing on the tree right now.


And some seeds for my budgies.


My mom has been babysitting these two boys for a few months. One of them is 3 and the other is 6. Usually just the 3 year old is at our house, since the 6 year old has soccer camp. I have some trouble entertaining him because he's pretty shy and quiet around me, but we did go outside to put peanuts out for the squirrels the other day.


They're both really into Angry Birds, so when I don't know what else to do I let them play it on my boyfriend's tablet...

(He basically calls it my tablet now, since he just left it at my house and hasn't taken it back, and apparently does not plan to take it back? X|)

My boyfriend and I are going on nine months now. :0 It's pretty crazy to think about. Things are really quite different when you're dating someone who lives close to you... I guess we're not tired of each other though, and actually I think he's amped up the affection a bit lately? Instead of just saying "I love you," now he says "I love you SO MUCH." He also sends texts like

"I think you're the most amazing thing on the planet and I love you."

Silly.

Aw, he sounds so sweeeeet. I can't believe it's been nine months! It seems like just yesterday you were talking about him...

Edward also doesn't hold on to anything, he throws EVERYTHING away. I don't necessarily keep everything, but I do feel it's important to keep SOME things that have nice memories attached to them. And from time to time he regrets that he threw something out.

Is it one of those 5-in-1 fruit trees? I've always wanted one of those, but I hear that after a while you end up with a bastard fruit tree, where they've all hybridized.

I'm working on not being a keep-everything, Dave sometimes has to work on it too. You never know when things might come in handy.
