What About Watermelon?

It might be strange to talk about New Year’s resolutions in October — and it kind of is — but I like to plan ahead, so here goes. My resolutions over the past three years have been mixed in terms of success. If I had to rank them on a scale of most successful to least successful, it would be as follows:

1. Compete in a watermelon-eating contest (2014)

2. Compete in a watermelon seed-spitting contest (2012)

3. Grow my own watermelon (2013)

The eating contest and spitting contest were generally successful, even though I didn’t win either event. Growing my own watermelon was a fun and valuable experience, but the end result (an inedible baseball-sized watermelon) was a little disappointing.

And so, I turn my attention to 2015. What will my next watermelon-related conquest be? I’m not really sure. I’ve got a few ideas, but I’d really like your input. Leave a comment with your own thoughts on what watermelon goals I should tackle next year.

If I choose your idea, you’ll not only get to enjoy monthly blog entry updates here on What About Watermelon, but I’ll also send you personal emails throughout the year, with even more behind-the-scenes updates. Don’t worry — you can unsubscribe from those emails after the first two or three.
