Update on the Dog Potty Situation



Okay, so.  My last plan didn't work so well.

Why?

Basically because I'm a terrible gardener.  I'm pretty confident that if I'd watered the grass everyday, both to water the grass and to dilute the urine, this would have worked great.  Neglected as it was this lasted for like 2 months (watered every few days...).  Eventually all the grass died, mostly because I slowly stopped watering it.  Poo was hard to pick up out of the grass because it got pretty long, so I think a flatter groundcover would have been smarter (Stepables, anyone?).

I'm moving to Arizona!


So, the plan is to move to Arizona.

Why?

Lots of reasons:
1) My boyfriend just got into a PhD program there
2) Sunshine.  That's an average of 211 days of full-sun sunshine.
3) It's closer to home for me, v
isiting my parents would take a couple hours on a plane (read: NOT 6-7+hrs like now)
4) There are lots of jobs there
5) I could afford to potentially buy a house there
6) Did I mention sunshine?  Think 296 days of at least partially sunny days on average.
7) I could live in a townhouse or house with a yard for Roxy
8) It's not Oregon.
9) Sunshine!!!  It snowed here last week.  It was 85 degrees there.

2013 Workout Plan

So, the new year started off kind of rough for me.  First was sick with some sort of yummy child-borne virus.  Then I had The Dreaded Flu.

I'm healthy again now (knock on wood).  So here's my new plan.

The Trampoline

Like most people I imagine, I hate making an effort to work out.  It's cold outside?  I don't want to go out to run, or even walk to my apartment complex's gym.  Yoga?  It's an awful lot of work to get out my yoga mat, unroll it, set up my yoga video on my computer, get my strap and blocks, do a 20 minute workout, then roll up the mat, tie the blocks together with the strap, and put it all away.  Whine, whine, I know it's pathetic.
