Balanced Living: So.... I'm a gardener?

It's Spring!!! 

Finally Spring has sprung and I am taking full advantage of it. 

I know this is probably going to be an unusual post, but I did promise you randomness from my life. I'm not sure if this falls into the healthy living category or not.... what do you think?

Every year I have a balcony/container garden. I have mostly rented apartments with an outdoor space, and over the past couple of years I've made use of that space. The first year I started this I only grew a few herbs, but every year I have increased the number and variety of plants that I grow. 

This year I have planted flowers, herbs, fruit, and vegetables. 



This year I've planted 3 different types of tomatoes, 2 different types of peppers, and zucchini. This is my first year attempting to grow zucchini and I am hoping that it works out. I'm not known for my green thumb, so it's always a gamble. 



I planted a large variety of herbs this year. Basil, thyme, rosemary, dill, parsley, cilantro, and chives. Nothing tastes as good as food cooked with fresh herbs, and you can find seeds and plants almost anywhere so they are easy to find.  

I love my little garden and I hope you enjoyed me sharing it with you!

I don't know if you already know but.... I'm a huge nerd.....

I went to Comic Con!!! 

I have always wanted to go to Comic Con. It just looked like the most amazing gathering of my peoples ever. For a long time, I thought there was only one location for the annual conference and Sacramento was never possible. As I was über excited when I found out that there were several events at different locations, and I was able to squeeze the Louisville Comic Con into my schedule. 

Needless to say, I had a blast and I wanted to share a few pics with you guys!

Just so you know, this is a lot for me because I never remember to take pics of anything... 



 There were all types of oddities for sale....
But the costumes were awesome!


OMG! I got to hang out with my Blondie Bear, I mean Spike, I mean James Marsters...


I have always had a thing for Jason Momoa... but damn that man is fine in person.....

I also got to see Samwise, Tommy (the green ranger from back in the day), and some folks from a little show called Dr. Who.


Just thought I'd share this little snippet of my life with you guys.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming...
