More snow... :(

The snow is still falling outside my window. It has been gray and nasty all week and it really frustrates the hell out of me. All I want is sunshine! How hard is that?

I am still scheming about this summer. I want farmers market time to be here really badly but I am not sure how that will work out considering it is SNOWING! *angry glare skyward*

On the bright side, my lettuces are starting to sprout. My tomatoes are slower but I still have faith. Not sure about the herbs. The seed was kind of old. I am looking forward to a long (and fun) canning season this summer. I also plan to sew a lot more. Awesome thing about being a student, I will have August to do what I want!

Also, another note. I think I am going to start transplanting more house plants. I was reading how they absorb tons of toxins out of the air that tend to exist in houses because of carpet, paints, cleaner residue, etc. Because I live in a rented apartment I cannot remove those items. So my legions of house plants will have the opportunity to do the work. I am sure they won't mind. :)

To cheer me up (or depress me more, not sure which) I have been reading fun blogs/websites. Allow me to share.

I am really in love with the idea of solar cooking. My brother made a solar cooker two years ago. I think I want to try it out this summer for the purpose of drying fruit. There are so many options, I was amazed. Here are some patterns.

Another among us who is rebelling against consumerism. Preach on sister!

All sorts of interesting stuff on this blog.

Lastly, I really like this blog, Little Eco Footprints. There are so many awesome ideas and fun projects. Someday I want my blog to be this cool. *sigh*

I better go do homework or something...9 weeks left...only 9 weeks..

It's a DOG!

This is such a funny "blarg". This post in particular pretty much sums up my life most days.

I'd like cheese on my entire family!: It's a DOG!

90 Square Feet

I would love to live in this apartment. Granted, my current apartment is somewhat larger and I love it to. Plus, I am sure that if my boyfriend stayed over I would want to kick him out in less than an hour. But I just love how cozy it is. It kind of pissed me off when I read the comments people made to this video. "How can you live like that. She must be insane!" were the gist of most of the comments. People can be so greedy and rude. This woman is living in NYC for goodness sake. She loves her life and is clearly very happy despite her small quarters. I would rather be in her shoes that in a huge house with tons of stuff and living a less than rewarding life. Kudos to her!
