I live in Pasadena, a burb of Los Angeles. I have a fantastic vegetable garden. Tomatoes, pumpkins, squash, chilis of all kinds, herbs too. It is sunny here and I water the vegies, they love it!

On my changes. I am trying to pay off all my debt except the house in the next 90 days. Can't pay off the house, cuz I just bought it! Turning off lights wherever I can. Not using the air or the heat. Being careful what I buy. I need a new fridge, so I'm gonna save up and pay cash. I am going to go back to school and I will attend the local junior college first, instead of a university. The JC is cheaper and closer. Eventually I'll have to hit the university, so I'll take the bus or train as I live very close to the commuter lines. This whole thing scares me, but I'm trying not to panic too much and I've decided not to watch any of it on TV anymore.
