Plight of the Mighty Dandelion

So. Continuing from the last post...
Monday
Went shopping, to Kingsway....well not shopping (as it was meant to be) just to kill some time, and maybe buy some v-necks from Stiches.
Bitches at Stiches had no v-necks btw :l

I ended up buying two dresses, a pair of pants, a pair of shoes, a pair of shorts, make up...and so much else that I shouldn't have. NO you know what I should have! Because it was all amazing, and practical.
Floral Dress (Stiches)- Yellow and Pink (I only have blue/black floral...yes...there is a difference)
Black Fitted "Business"-Cute Dress (H&M) - Obviously for business-dress days.
Champagne coloured pants (H&M) - slim leg, and on SALE (which was basically everything else too.)
Floral shoes (Stiches) - cause mine are crappin out)
Black Floral Shorts (Stiches) - Are you noticing a trend here...? I'm pretty much obsessed


Anyway. I have to bid on a Chi on eBAY tonight/tomorrow morn. I'm excited...I know more money..BUT it's LESS than half the price of a regular one! Gee, I hope I get it.

Took another walk this afternoon. Same place...not same time.

And here comes the reason for the title.
When I was walking home through the back lane near the mall, I saw all of these dandelions ready to seed. It clicked it that dandelions are only pests because of their resilience and excellent survival strategy. Most plants will drop their seeds/nuts/fruit on surrounding areas. This would mean that any future trees will only grow in that local area, and will eventually be competeing with the orignal tree! But no, that is not the fate for dandelions. They have those light, feathery (annoying if they stick to you) seeds. The kind that are fun to make wishes on. And they blow where they'd like. They have nothing to hold them back, and are the epitome of freedom. In my opinion.

All they need is wind...or a kind soul, with dreams.


PS. I've decided I like walks alone.

PPS. My mom just got back from India!! WOO.
