Moving Day approacheth...

So, I am surrounded by boxes and preparing to move out of my fabulous apartment. I am feeling both excitement at my future adventures, and extreme angst at giving up the comforts of home. You see, I have decided to move out of Florida and the only way to do this in a mature and financially responsible way, is to go home. Home as in, moving back home with the parents. Don't get me wrong, I love my parents and am constantly blown away by their faith in me and generosity in everything from praise and encouragement to letting me take up residence in the spare room. And between student loans and regular bills, life is getting tough on my own.
So, I am uber nervous however because I am moving out at the end of this month with intentions of saving up money so that in 6 months I can high tail (?) it out of here. So my goal is March of 2011.

Now I just need to figure out where I am going...




OR....

Dream Job - well paid food blogger. Travel the country going to food and drink festivals and sampling local food culture. I could do this you know. I can do this. Heck, I might, NO! I WILL DO THIS!

I think I want to plant a small container garden for vegetables. I think it is good to have something outside of ones self to take care of. I want to feel that joy of having something depend on me for nurishment and care. After some intensive research it looks like I have a good election to choose from here in Florida. I am planning for the vegetables;(but this can always change) tomato (thinking cherry or grape and maybe an heirloom variety), peppers (green), and possibly eggplant. For the herbs I want basil, cilantro and rosemary. I use these three herbs the most.I already have the containers for the tomato and herbs, now on to freecycle for the rest. :)

So, I am sitting here with the rain pouring down ouside my window. I love the dark rainy days, it makes me feel like it is okay that I don't want to go outside or leave the comfort of my 890 square feet. Dang it, I have no food in the house though... ugh.

I need somewhere to put my thoughts... so here is good.
