I’m a grad student. I’m also someone who loves the creature comforts of life: good wine, good coffee, new clothes, going out to dinner, etc. etc. This goal is to challenge myself to not only live within my means as someone relying on student loans and parental help to support myself, but to live well. I want to find the treasures money can’t buy and to enjoy more deeply that which I already have. And I am blessed with so many wonderful things – a fiancee I love, a best friend I can rely on, a wonderful place to live, a bright future, and musical instruments and art supplies to keep me busy all winter long.

My garden is growing! I’m treating this garden as an experiment and therefore I’m not really expecting to “grow my own food,” though I would be happy if I got to enjoy some salads, salsa, and rhubarb pie. We’ve had a long, beautiful spring, which has given us a jump on the growing season—as well as a bumper crop of bunnies! Lettuce, kale, peas, nasturtiums, carrots, radishes, and some medicinal herbals are already gaining a foothold in our garden, while Brandywine Tomatoes, California Wonder Peppers, and Goldenberry Ground Cherries (to name a few) are flourishing under the grow lights. I’m trying as many techniques as I can and learning as I go, but I’m trying to keep it organic and use as many recycled and biodegradable items as possible.

This goal is getting bumped up the list! We haven’t set a date yet, but yes—my boyfriend of 5 years is now officially my fiance!
