Garden Fall 2011

So Thursday the 25th I planted the seeds for my garden in starter cups on the porch. I'm trying to do this fairly naturally, mostly organic, and with as little work and money as possible. I'm hoping to plant tomatoes, corn, peppers, cucumber, peas, cantaloupes, green beans, and broccoli.


Well today I went out to water my seeds and HOLY CUCUMBERS BATMAN they went from nothing to one of them is over 2 inches tall!! Awesome! - now if I can keep this up for several months I'll be sitting pretty!!

I'm hoping to finish moving and preparing my beds this week so they will have some time to soak up some summer rains and get all settled before I plant.

I'm also strongly considering planting potatoes this fall in a separate bed!

More to come!

On My Mind

In this weeks segment of On My Mind we learn that LuLu is completely insane and plans ahead WAY too much!

I've been thinking a lot about what I want to do for Christmas - you know presents, gifts, and holiday baking!! I want to keep this year relatively inexpensive so I might FINALLY get to take a vacation in 2012. You know like a REAL vacation where I get to leave my city, county, and state! I'm really wanting an Alaskan Cruise, but am not holding my breath for that to work out.

Any one want to pay me large sums for money for being cute, my opinion, or my leet movie reviews?

Injured

How did I manage to hurt both feet in the same day? My right heel is in pain when I walk or put pressure on it and I broke my left big toe nail in half. So now when I walk both feet hurt..... 6 days to race day - uggh lets hope I heal!!

On the positive side I've been staying off my feet by reading a LOT!  I am currently in the middle of book 3 of the A Song of Fire and Ice series. (The TV show A Game of Thrones is based on this series) I found the first book A Game of Thrones to be long and tedious - I mean come on 800+ pages that is a trudge even for me. I gave up after the first book and moved on to Harry Potter - now that's short and BORING, but I managed 3 of those books before I found my way back to The Song of Fire and Ice book 2 a Clash of Kings. The book pushed 900 pages, but I made it through in about 3 days pretty much devouring the book and thoroughly engrossing myself in the story. Now on book 3 A Storm of Swords and I'm two thirds through it and can't wait to finish and more excitedly can't wait for season 2 of the TV show!

The best intentions

I always have the best blogging intentions! - Weekly, Daily, and Monthly post ideas, but they always fall through - I have tried segmenting my blogs into one for running/fitness, one that is required for school - so mostly Library Based, And this one as more of a personal/crafty blog. However, it seems the only one that gets updated regularly is the one for school - and thats just because the posts are required as a class grade!

Although after seeing a good friend over the last few weeks and how she looks forward to my posts I'm hoping to post more often and maybe just focus on this blog - and maybe the movie review blog that I do with my husband (If we ever actually go back to watching movies)

So this ones for you Buffy! Lets hope I can stick with it!! :)
