Never leaving the house again... well, until tomorrow

In a new, fairly pathetic strategy to save money, I've decided I am simply not leaving my house today.  If I go to the store, I will buy something.  If I go to a restaurant, I will eat something.  So what is a girl to do?  Not leave the house!

Yes, I know that seems anti-social and, sure, I could buy just about anything I want online anyway, but it is just a better idea to stay home anyway.  I have to go to work tomorrow, so isn't that enough?

I have food, water, shelter... whatever I need right here.  So I am going to just stay home... and maybe work online and achieve stuff.

And yes, I realize this is probably the most boring blog post ever.  Perhaps that is why I stopped doing traditional blogging for so long.  Oh well, I will keep working at it.

Growing My Own Veggies This Summer

This summer, I have started on the super epic journey of growing my own vegetables.  Well, frankly, my fiance and I are doing this together.  Growing a garden is not really so much my thing, but being cheap is my thing.  We bought lots of seeds at the dollar store, some as cheap as 25 cents a pack.  Most of the seeds seem to be growing well in starter pots and they are almost ready to be planted in the yard.  This is where the real "fun" begins.

Don't get me wrong, I grew up in the suburbs, but my grandparents had a farm.  I am no stranger to farming.  However, I determined at a fairly young age it was not for me.  Having lived in the city for a long time, it is a culture shock now to live in a house in the suburbs.  Growing a garden seemed like a good idea since my fiance did it in the past, but this time, we probably got too ambitious.

Since the seeds were so cheap, we bought a lot at the dollar store and some at other stores.  Now we have a nice variety of seeds growing.  We also need to make the garden bigger.  We've begun the process, and I have found myself to be exceptionally whiny about it.  I know once everything is planted, it will be fine.  But next year, perhaps we will aim for a smaller garden.

This year, we are growing:

Cucumbers
Tomatoes
Peppers
Corn
Radishes
Watermelons
Pumpkins
Cilantro

I don't think we need to worry about the cilantro since it looks like a squirrel, or perhaps our dog, got a hold of it and it no longer exists.  I also think because we don't know what we are doing with the radishes, perhaps they are turning out so great.  But so far, everything else is good.  We are going to save so much money on vegetables this summer and perhaps not have to buy our own pumpkins in the fall.  Hooray.... I think!

I am back!

Yes, it has been nearly two years, but I am back in business at Blogger.  You may wonder where I have been.  Actually, since I doubt anyone is following me anymore, you probably have not wondered.  At any rate, I stopped writing blogs when they took up just too much of my time.

I was getting carried away trying to keep up with three blogs, writing for HubPages, writing for Wizzley, working on WebAnswers, creating eBooks, working on Mechanical Turk, making products on Zazzle... and working 40 or more hours a week at an office.  Yes, it is a great way to make money if you have time, but I decided to stop getting so carried away.  For my own sanity, I needed to take a break from some of the extra work I had been doing.

For now, I don't have a full-time job anymore, so I decided I have more time to devote to blogging.  I won't have three blogs anymore, but it does not mean I can't have one or two.  So I hope if anyone is still out there, you might want to read my blog.
