Ok, so I've never gardened before and want to add some flowers to our yard. I just got back from KMart where I decided to get a package of hollyhock seeds b/c I love those flowers. I found out reading the packet that apparently they have to be started from trays indoors...so I decided what the heck I'll give it a whirl and bought potting soil and the peat moss 'containers' and a plastic tray....
And so now, as excited I am to start this, and try my hand at a green thumb, here I am upstairs in the office procrastinating....I went online to look up some tips, and then from there went surfing the net, and here I am 'nesting! I should have started this an hour ago now!
I realized that I do this way too often--I'll get materials for some new project, and then as excited as I am for the outcome, and to do something creative and learn something new, I freeze up and never start the darn project to begin with....
I am sure it's because on some level I don't want to fail at it, so I'm not starting it to begin with??! Am I the only one like this?!
This is a part of my personality totally annoys me--I want to kick my own a*s right now. I guess I figured if I post about it, and admit to it formally and recognize this flaw, maybe it'll get me off my duff!
Ok, here I go...I'm logging off....(now let's just hope I don't get distracted by the TV...or sitting down to read magazines or the new LL Bean cataog... Wish me luck..as the Little Engine once said: "I think I can, I think I can I think I can...."
Re: why am I like this?!!
Thanks for the vote of confidence gals....can't wait to see some progess with the seeds! Here's hoping...

.....tomorrow I will take a picture of all my seedlings and use it as my siggie
