I did that for several months from last fall until spring, and it was wonderful - once fall really kicks in here, I am going to be doing that with root vegetables as they are my last big category to conquer, but right now I am focusing on getting in tons of summer veggies in while they last.Valerie at City|Life|Eatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12348802292480366382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399975357214970817.post-18169858663361713692009-09-18T14:21:21.916-04:002009-09-18T14:21:21.916-04:00@ Revisionista Thank you!

Your positive attitude about housework is amazing, too! I love the way you're turning chores into creative expressions - new vegetables for cooking, green cleaning, and so on. I bet you even sweep floors with style!<br /><br />I'm really glad you joined us!KKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566411831919745436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399975357214970817.post-71154897454821122822009-09-16T07:45:33.549-04:002009-09-16T07:45:33.549-04:00Oh my goodness--I love so many of the things you&#...Oh my goodness--I love so many of the things you're doing!<br /><br />*buying a new-to-me veggie each week<br />*turning "chores" into artist dates (I wonder if the same could work for exercise since I definitely need to start moving more!)<br />*processing your academic thoughts in your morning pages<br /><br />I hope your research and creative writing goes well this week!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05785573422454112815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399975357214970817.post-82150260727724576382009-09-14T13:38:28.412-04:002009-09-14T13:38:28.412-04:00@ Carolyn Thanks!

I don't want to make too much of a distinction between academic and creative..lol- But it does make the goals more manageable. <br /><br />@Ellecubed- thanks! Let me know if it works..:)<br /><br />@ Melita- Here's hoping that you are able to let go of all the negativity. Hugs! and re: the bookstores- Exactly!!<br /><br />@ Globetrotting Cacti - Thank you! The book I plan on buying is 'Clean House Clean Planet' by Karen Logan. It has some easy but effective house cleaner recipes. I tried making one of them (some of her recipes are available online - http://www.lakewinds.com/store/Recipes-for-Natural-Household-Cleaners-W4716C18760.aspx), and it made cleaning more fun, somehow.<br /><br />driftwoodAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399975357214970817.post-89142395080017169812009-09-14T07:35:55.702-04:002009-09-14T07:35:55.702-04:00Just wanted to add my welcome (have just returned ...Just wanted to add my welcome (have just returned from my holidays).<br /><br />Also love how you seperate your posts into academic and creative writing.
