0:00.0	Hi, everyone back to Bad on Paper podcast. I'm Becca Freeman. And I'm Olivia Mentor.
0:23.5	And today we have a three things episode. We didn't have one in February. So some of these things I've been I've been simmering on to talk to you about for over a month.
0:32.9	Oh, that's good because I feel like my things are very boring, very classic things, if you will. Oh,
0:38.8	interesting. I'm very curious if one of our things overlaps. Oh, okay. Well, I'm looking forward
0:44.6	to it. It's been a while since the three things. I know. Well, before we get into that,
0:48.9	this episode is sponsored by Newley. We'll tell you more about why we love this subscription,
0:55.5	clothing, rental service later in the episode, but you can take $28 off your first month, making it just $70 when you head to
1:01.4	newly.com. That's N-U-U-U-L-Y, newly with two U's, and use code B-O-P. Okay, now that we have that out of the way, Olivia, tell me your high.
1:13.4	My high is that the snow is finally like 90% gone off the ground.
1:18.8	The sun is out.
1:20.3	It is slightly warmer.
1:22.3	I can see the garden emerging and I'm getting so hyped for spring and being in the garden and working on stuff.
1:32.1	I think gardening is so interesting because it's this thing where you're required to take a break
1:37.2	from it. Like for a few months a year, there's nothing you can do. Like you can't be out there.
1:41.4	You can't be fixing it. So you are forced to take this break. And then when you come back,
1:46.5	you notice like the year over year change and progress you've made. Everything gets better every year.
1:54.0	It gets more full. You know what you're doing. You clear more things. You add more things. You move
1:58.9	things. It's just so rewarding. And this is like our third
2:03.8	spring here, I think. And I just feel really ready to go. Like as soon as I see that first crocus,
2:11.1	I'm going to be out there digging things up. I'm so ready. In the past, you've done mostly
2:16.6	flower gardens. Have you done any vegetables before?
2:21.3	We do herbs. Like we have a little gardening table that we made and we do, you know, basil, cilantro.
