buy and sustain my first houseplant
Ok...I Bought it 4 years ago

It’s an Phalaenopsis orchid (mostly white…pink in the center). I hope I can keep it alive. I bought a book on orchids just in case. How many months do I need to wait until I can say that I have sustained it? Hmm…I suppose this wasn’t a very well thought out goal. Seems like a setup for disappointment. Even if this plant lasts forever…I will never be to say that I completed my goal…....I may come up with a time limit from the book. ....more information coming soon…



Quit Smoking
Go Me. 4 years ago

It has been 35 days since I’ve had a cigarette. I’m using the patch this time. What will mess you up is if you give in and have just one. Please don’t. If you make it a habit of having just one you may get back in the habit. Try to avoid bars and too much alcohol. At least during your initial quitting period….treat your body well. I stopped drinking alcohol and coffee. If you are concerned about weight…try to avoid sweets in the beginning as a replacement…..try sugarfree whitening gum. You don’t want to get in the habit of eating alot of candy as a substitute…..if you are concerned about your weight. I also recommend going to the gym, taking a yoga class, and walking for alternative ways to reduce stress. Find something that makes you happy…and quit.
