January Blues

Holidays are over.  Everyone I know is darn near broke (not to mention much fatter after all the holiday indulgence).  Yep, January can make you quite blue!  

I hate "New Year's Resolutions."  I have life goals, but nothing about January 1st makes me inclined to bust-butt more than normal.  I want to lose 10+ pounds.  I've heard of this crazy new diet called the "put down the potato chips and get off the couch, fatass" system.  Sounds pretty revolutionary.  Maybe I'll give that a try.  

Sarcasm aside, I do like to utilize the cold weather to do some planning.  (Yes, I may be a 25-yr-old version of Martha Stewart!) It makes me feel good and in control to plan things out.  

I love to garden.  I have an entire greenhouse on the balcony of our apartment.  I think today instead of lamenting the frigid weather coming up this week, I'll do some garden planning.  Nothing perks up the day quite like the thought of fresh herbs and flowers coming as early as spring!
