Seeds!

The seed catalog came just after Christmas - yesterday I put the order in.  Seeds are on their way!  Woo hoo! 
This time I took the catalog into work so several of us could combine our orders and get free shipping.  Would you believe that with four people ordering there wasn't a single duplicate?  Not one!  I'm not surprised with the flowers but you might think we'd pick some of the same veggies.  Nope. 

Now I can't wait to get the seeds.  I haven't decided if I'm going to start anything inside or just wait until May and start them outside like I normally do.  I'm ready for the growing season, tired of snow on the ground.  I have a lot of hard work to do this spring repairing the damage from last year's drought.  There's seeding to do, crabgrass to control, dead plants to replace...it is going to take a major amount of work.  Thank goodness I actually enjoy it! 

The trick is going to be finding the time to fit in yard work, the gym, and overtime at work.  I get the feeling I'm going to be a very busy little mythicalgirl this year.  By the time we get to October I should be more than ready for that long vacation!  So far I haven't worked on either my Italian or my Greek despite those being on my list of goals.  I was doing well with the gym goals until this last week - between a couple of appointments, snow, and super late nights at work I made it to the gym exactly zero times last week.  Oops!  I plan to do better this week.  No appointments.  Needing to stay late at work might be a problem but maybe I'll start bringing shower stuff and going in the afternoon instead of after work.  Or I could just get up earlier (painful!).  I'll work it out.  The one thing I won't do is blow off the gym completely - that is not acceptable.  My knees wouldn't let me anyway.  Going to the gym is what keeps me walking and I'm not about to give that up.

OK.  Laundry to do and books to read.  I worked from home yesterday so today is a work-free day and I mean to enjoy it!
