sometimes ...
it's just so hard for me to come up with something to say. i'm not a good story teller. at all. i can turn funny stuff into real "you had to be there" moments. some people really have a talent for making things interesting, and it has clearly skipped me. this is one reason i don't blog so often anymore; i'm a little more critical of what i have to say. also, when i'm in school and writing papers all the time, doing more writing is really the last thing i feel like doing. i used to be a lot better at writing. i had a good friend who was a great writer, and we wrote each other letters all the time. she was the tortured soul type, and after a while, when i developed a social life, she just got too jealous and we 'broke up', if you will. since then, my affinity for writing has really disappeared. i used to do a lot of journaling, too, which i have stopped. i just don't have the drive to do it anymore. why am i writing about writing? i'm not sure. i just kind of ... felt like it.
something i have had the drive to do: garden! i'm not exactly sure why. but i have turned into a real nerd about it. i'm remembering latin names and things like that. making sure all my flickr pictures are tagged with common and latin names, if i know them. doing research. when i was a kid, my grandma was an avid gardener, and i spent every moment i could with her. i always liked working in the yard and growing plants, as a kid, especially tomatoes. then, it kind of waned. i would (trans)plant and re-pot things for my mom, but i didn't think about it much when i wasn't doing it. now, i practically obsess about it. lately, i've been making plans and envisioning things every night while i lay in bed, waiting to fall asleep. and (big and!) i'm kind of trying to figure out how i could fit gardening into a career. it is one of the only things i can see myself not hating in 10, or 20 years. i'm thinking about things like landscape architecture.
i just found the most brilliant fucking gardening tip/trick EVER! i have been coveting those little peat/cardboard/biodegradable pots that you can start seeds in and then plant directly into the ground. they're a lot less stress for the plant, and they break down naturally. i was just perusing yougrowgirl and i found this! i'm saving all my toilet paper rolls from now on! this is so great. i'm practically jumping up and down right now! just in time to start my last few seeds of spring.

I encourage that you do what you are passionate about. There are different angles you can take with landscaping. From being of service to individuals and companies to specializing in weddings and events.
I wish you luck. Oh, and those biodegradable pots are wonderful. I put my pepper plant in one and it transplanted really well.
Knit on!
