Ahhhh the Pressure!

I have been getting numerous text messages, emails, and straight up demanding phone calls from followers wondering why it has been a month since my last post. The answer-I'm busy! Now leave me alone!
Haha-but seriously, I am taking my first set of grad school finals and I'm determined to get nothing but A's! My last final is soon, so expect another post shortly.

Just to hold everyone over, here are some upcoming projects:

1. I am in the middle of growing some herbs (as in lemon balm, chamomile, etc.-not the other herb you little devil) and will be making my own teas, flavored oils, and even mouthwash out of them.

2. I am considering (this may be way too big a project) making mead (an alcoholic beverage made out of honey).. maybe, don't get too excited...I probably will, I mean c'mon, it's mead!!...If you would like to try my delicious mead, you'll have to wear green tights and call me your lady...giggity giggity

3. After I'm able to save some money (I'm broke, it's the holidays, give me a break) I'm going to look into getting a rain barrel...not exactly sure where I'm going to be living shortly, so I'm also looking for volunteers who will let me set up a rain barrel on their house. I already have several offers, but I still have to consider every aspect so that I can choose the optimal location, so send me a text if you want a rainbarrel.

Also, I know you all are curious, the worms are doing great! I feed them about a pound of vegetables a week and the original food that I put in the bin has already been composted. After putting up such a fight about having them in the garage, my mother now saves scraps so I can "feed the worms" and she refuses to chop up the food into small bits because she feels that, living in a bin, the worms are bored and need something to do. Typical Italian mother, she considers food a form of entertainment. Also, all newcomers to the house are required to first visit the worms...I fear she will start naming them soon.

Thanks for staying interested everyone! I can't wait to be done with finals so I can get get back to work entertaining you!! :)
