Behind on Blogging - Making Habits is hard.

Yep. So I'm behind on blogging - first week in and already ready to drop it all together.
Which is like so many other items I've tried to pick up, Like...
       -  Running
       -  Weight lifting alone
       -  Daily cleaning
       -  Not eating bread
       -  Reading every day
       -  Drinking Honey-Tea every day
      and sooo many others

But I'm back, trying seeing how this will go.

This last week has be busy. We started upstairs demo to turn an unused room that shares too many walls with the Master into a Laundry room, and to add to the Master's space by taking some of this room's space to make a His and Her's closets

This is the SO laughing at me because I'm afraid of the very nail-y beam, and afraid of using my weight and falling off the ladder.

He one-handedly took this down once I failed... You must admit - there's a lot of scary long nails there!


A good friend came to visit and helped. Prior to taking out most of the drywall we drew pictures on it and took out the carpet. Margerttas and remodeling - a good girls weekend, I'd say. (We did play board and card games later.)

Next update... My Seeds germinated!   And I completely did not turn on my grow lights early enough!

To the right is my tomatoes all popped up. They germinated probably 5 days - except I didn't know this and popped my little plastic green house cover 8 days after planted.

Look at all the poor plants reaching towards the window because I didn't turn on the grow lights soon enough.  But know I know they are up, so lights on!

You are supposed to have a grow light 2-3inches about your new plants, this way they don't stretch themselves out trying to get to the light. Last year, like this one, I let my tomatoes get a bit stretched... Still don't have it perfect yet.

I personally turn off the grow lights when I go to bed 9pm and turn them on when I get up 5am. Some grow with lights on 24 hours, but I want the plants to have a night.  I have no research yet one way or another.

Sooo... other items. Work stress, more work stress... and even more work stressed.

But, with all bad things, come good. I got my IPSY bag. Ipsy, is a company that supplies you makeup/beauty samplies (and full size items) based on your complexion, style, and reviews.  It helps me try things I would never, ever, ever, EVER try! Sometimes they are awesome, sometimes not so much. (I'm not very adventurous when it comes to beauty items...)

This month's questionable item. Pink, BRIGHT pink lipstick

Good or Bad?  Yeah, I don't know either. Probably not quite for me, but maybe for another life?

Anyway. Trying to keep up with this Blogging thing. One week at a time.
