Life's been quiet

I haven't posted in a while, but not because I've forgotten. I have thought about my blog and my goal to keep it going. I just haven't had anything to talk about. Life has been flowing along nice and smooth. And I'm loving it.

Here's a few updates from the past couple of weeks:

1) I read "The Hunger Games". I had been reluctant. I don't generally like things that are over-hyped. But I joined a book club and this was our first book pick. It was good. Definitely worth the read. I can see why kids are nutty for it right now. I want to read the next two books. The Boy has warned me they will piss me off.

2) My vegetable garden is growing nicely. I'm still obsessed. I hate gardening in general. But my vegetable garden is a different story. It actually produced a product, rather than just being aesthetic.

3) The Boy performed in his final high school play. All the kids did a great job. It was funny and fast-paced.

4) My goal of changing my life for the better is coming along. I don't think I've explained this specifically here. Wanting new hobbies is part of it. I want something interesting to do with my spare time. I work long hours during the week. It's too easy to be lazy all weekend: watch tv, play on my lap top, eat. It's not good for me in the long run. I need a social outlet. I need a hobby. I need motivation to get chores and projects done around my house.

So slowly, I've been making little changes. I joined a Bunco group which meets once a month. Social outlet. I have my garden which I obsess over; checking its progress, pulling weeds. Hobby. This in turn motivates me to get more things done around my house. I even mowed the front lawn yesterday. I generally leave that up to The Boy. Motivation.

Progress.
