(Re) Chic

I really have no excuse for my lack of posting...I mean I'm a busy person but I miss doing this all the time so much...I vow to be better! Here's the re-cap of this month's goals: 1. Go to the gym (I will do this someday!) -Funny story...I went to the gym, stripped in the locker room, only to discover I didn't have shorts with me...FAIL   2. Read (or at least start depending on how bad it is)  50 Shades of Grey.   Completed!  It  really is more of a romance novel that the BDSM-ness that I expected.  But I read all 3...and now I'm halfway through Pride and Prejudice!  3. Get my professional manicure -CHECK!  I cashed in my groupon and got it last week (and my nails are already so chipped they need repainted...no wonder its addicting!) 4. Reach my 500 Twitter followers goal (I'm so close!) -I'm still 50 away!  Why is this so hard!? 5. Rearrange the spare bedroom- I started this but its not really completed.  I moved the bed and dresser...but I didn

I love having a garden plot. I think its one of the best things I've done since moving back to Columbus. However, it does have its drawbacks. This is what the extent of my zucchini gardening was before my garden plot:  I still had the benefit of growing delicious zucchini, it was right on my front step where I could check it everyday and the supply was limited by the plant size, which was in turn limited by the pot size (this pot was rather large but still did not provide unlimited zucchini).   Now lets turn to my current garden plot.  Since my zucchini started ripening a few weeks ago I have harvested 4 zucchini with another that's ready to be picked all at least a foot long!  I'm up to my eyeballs in zucchini!  I've been trying to pick them when they're smaller but they grow so fast that they're huge by the time I realize they're there!  (Due to my work schedule I haven't been making it to my plot everyday).   So what do you do
