New Year, New Life

So, I haven't written at all lately, and I want to let you all know that I do miss it. But without the internet its been making it difficult, not to mention all the changes that have been going on in my life.

 In the span of a few months I've gotten a new job, a new home, gotten into a new routine, become an aunt for the second time over, and those are just the highlights. I'm happy to be moved back into Columbus, OH where I feel that I belong. I've been permanently hired on at my new job and have signed all of my official paperwork and gotten my own desk...FINALLY.

 But now that its January I want to get back into a routine that I skipped a little bit in the frenzy of moving: monthly goals. For a list of my extensive goals to see what I've been and will continue to be working out check out my list of 101 things to do in 1001 days.  And now here is what I want to focus on for the month of January: 


1. Start my workout habit: go to the gym four times (once/week) to be increased in February.  
2. Finish unpacking:  I mean for real-not just have everything that's not unpacked hidden in the bedroom I'm currently not using.
3. Start volunteering again: I like my job, but I'm not sure I want to do it forever.  I want to get volunteering again and look into what other opportunities there are for me to learn new things, even if its not at work.  


At Work: 
Make my desk feel like home!  I'm so excited to not be a temp and have a desk that's officially mine, you better believe I'm bringing a plant and all the essentials to my desk.  


As for the rest of things...right now I'm just excited to get to spend tomorrow being Aunt Jessy!


Happy Belated New Year!

Vermicomposting

Vermicomposting is exactly what is sounds like: composting with vermis, which is the Latin for worms.   I first became acquainted with vermicomposting when I started at Grow Food, Grow Hope in November 2009.  One of my coworkers was attempting to vermicompost in a container he kept in his desk and usually the 1st thing he said to you after "hello" was "want to see my worms?"  However, the worms jumped ship, were all over the office, and then were banned permanently.   Since that day I had a small adventure into composting with worms.  In my ignorance in the nature of compost I assumed that worms were always necessary for compost and therefore dug up worms from the backyard to add to my porch compost bin (an 18-gallon Rubbermaid tub I drilled holes in and added my food scraps to).  These worms of course were never seen again as they were cooked in my compost bin.   And then the research began.    Now tha...

FINALLY

After more time than I ever intended on dedicated to creating the list, blog, and ticker that has accompanied this 101 in 1001 I am finally finished. As you have seen, the bolded items are the categories, and the items that are NOT pink (in this case I believe we'll let them all be purple, because its a nice match, are the items that are finished. Today's one and only item (and the motivation for FINALLY getting this up) is Emma, a great book. I watched the movie with Megan before leaving for France so I knew what was going to happen. Now I'm sitting here dreaming of my own Mr. Knightley, but where I will find him I have no idea. Let me know if you find any men as perfect, graceful, handsome, and amazing as Mr. Knightley for me.
