Second, I’m really happy with where I got with the my
gardens, but I still have a long way to go before I can cross anything off my
list. Cooler weather and extra $$ are what I’m waiting on to move forward more
with that project.
As for the whole wreath thing, total bust! It started out ok,
but after adding it to my door and it being there for two weeks it’s become a
sagging, pathetic mess. I wasn’t overly thrilled with it to begin with, so I’m
just going to start over and instead I’ll post that project. Sorry if you were
waiting on that.
Now, for the “big reveal”: I’ve added new pages at the top of
my blog for easier navigation! There are still more to come, but for now, I
have a “Our Home Sweet Home” page, where I’ll post pics of our home and the changes
we’re making to it. Example: Instead of overloading this post with pics of the
gardens, I’ve just added some before and after pics to this tab.
I’ve also created a “30 before 30” page, where you can see my
list of things I want to accomplish before I’m 30, and my progress as I
complete them. Keep in mind it’s for a 2 ½ year time frame, so a lot of the
items are very broad. I’m working on creating a way to blow-out those goals
into little “mini” goals that’ll be accomplished over a shorter period of time,
but I have to determine the best way to present that, so it’s still a bit of a
work in progress.
I’m learning that blogging is not nearly as easy as I
thought it was going to be. I don’t know about you, but now that I’m putting
parts of my life out there for all to see, I find myself thinking about things
a lot more, which can be both good and bad, and worrying a lot more about how I
present things to you all, and how it’ll reflect on me, also both good and bad.
I am enjoying the whole process though, which is good, because that means I’ll
keep it up.
Now for some “YAY!” stuff. A lot of people in the
blogosphere are doing this thing called High Five for Fridays! It’s basically a
way to reflect on your week and focus on 5 positives. I’m a fairly optimistic
person, so this really is right up my alley and hopefully it’ll start to put me
on a regular posting schedule. If you blog and want to link up your H54F posts,

- I got the highest score in the class for the first exam of the semester in my ACC 201 class!
- I’ve made it through another week on my new miniMarathon training schedule (more on that later) and since I’ve started I’ve only missed one workout!
- The Broncos had an awesome win in the first game of the season. Even though I was sad to see Tebow go I love having Manning on my team!
- The J-Town Gaslight Festival starts tonight! It’s not anything to travel here just to go to, but it is a great way to spend an evening, and it tends to provide some creative inspiration, which I always love.
- It was plant adoption week at work!
Explanation: I work for a retail property management
company, and our office is located in one of our own office buildings, where
there’s a continual rotation of plants in the lobby. Every few months, or so,
the old plants are swapped for fresh new ones and the old ones are brought up
to the office to be adopted and taken home. They rarely have the same color or
type of plant back-to-back, so I have a great collection at home. Some of them
live inside, and some can be planted in the garden. It’s a great, free way to keep
my house full of plants, which I love! This particular guy will be inside and
will probably only last 6 months, at most. For some reason I just can’t manage
to keep this particular type of plant happy for longer than that. I blame the
plant, since the rest of my house plants are normally pretty happy.
