Planning Garden 2012

This entry is part 1 of 2 in the series Garden 2012

No, you haven’t lost your mind. Our family is down to one computer, and I was hoping to have mine fixed by now. Unfortunately, laptops are not too fond of mac & beef, so repair has been agonizingly slow. And when I only have a few minutes in an uncomfy chair right before bedtime, expounding upon the subject at hand is easily delayed/dismissed. I’m backdating the entries for the days they *should* have been published. Thanks for joining my time-travel team <3

I’m making a list of all the things I want to plant this year. And researching methods of automatic watering so the whole thing won’t get krispy before the end of the season.

Oh wait. I can’t do anything expensive or permanent1. Crap. RETHINK!!!

And also? FOCUS!!! The list!!!

Carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes (mostly paste), beans (glorious beans), lettuces (Earthbox #1), garlic, corn, watermelon, canteloupe, beets, potatoes, radish, cilantro (maybe?), sugarsnaps, onions, and honestly. Who knows what else will tickle my fancy between now and then?

Resolved: container gardening is fun, but not all that successful for me. I’ll be turning the earthboxes into herb boxes and I’m not sure WHAT I’ll do with all the buckets and bins.

  1. Beltway coming through toward the end of the year. Hopefully at the end of growing season []

So how am I doing, two weeks after I set myself up?

Resolution: Get Healthy. Goals: Diet and exercise

I’m still fighting the urge to eat potato chips and cottage cheese for breakfast, but not all that often. These days I’m fighting the urge for crunchy food with a small handful of mixed nuts. And I’ve pinpointed “eating more veggies” as a designated target while my body adjusts.

I’m not working out every day, but I’m making a conscious effort to move more than I was. The scale has moved a bit, but it’s too early to tell if it was water weight.

Resolution: Budget. Goals: Develop side business, track spending

I’ve already totally blown the “keep track of money” part. I’ll try to pick it up again at the next payday.

My work on the side business has dealt mostly with focus. Am I going to design? host? code? troubleshoot? (Most likely? Troubleshoot.) How much do I charge?(believe it or not, that *has* been a problem in the past)

30 day challenge resolution: Uncluttering

Not going according to schedule. At all. After pondering on my “moderate failure” post from Friday, I had a realization.

I’m ready to let go of these things, but I’m not necessarily ready for what (if anything) is going to replace them. And to be completely honest, I’ll probably need some time and help processing that little tidbit.

And that’s all the news that’s fit to print right now about my resolutions.
