A quick update on my crazy life and some upcoming projects

I was never very good at keeping a journal, or marking things on a calendar, or even texting people back... So why doesn't it surprise me that I can't seem to keep this blog going? (Admit it, the number of posts is dwindling...)
I've been wrapped up in my life lately; I started a new job a couple months ago and my boyfriend and I are moving into a condo this June.
The condo belongs to my grandmother who was recently put into a nursing home, so there is a lot of moving out that needs to be done before we move in.
And a lot of remodeling.
That's good news for you! We will be painting and decorating and I'm sure I will have some crafty repurposing of old furniture or something for you all to see.
I recently saw a post where a old letter/printer tray was turned into a jewelry board to hang necklaces, etc. I just so happen to have a similar tray at the condo that is being used as a sort of shadowbox, but I think a jewelry board is a good idea!
I also have some plans for art ideas on the wall, an attempt to use fabric and starch to wallpaper, and some cleaning tricks that work for me and organizing ideas to help declutter our tiny apartment.
On top of all this... I am currently painting a flower pot to look like a screenshot from Mario. So you will probably see the final product from that in the near future.
So for now, I just wanted to update that I am not dead, and bid you adieu.

UPDATE

Just an update to let everyone know what's going on.
When I first started this blog, I'm pretty sure I updated it daily and felt like I may have been a bit overwhelming. Now it's been about a week and I haven't posted anything!
The funny part is, is that I have a bunch of posts in my drafts all ready to go. The problem is, I can't seem to see them when I go to edit them.
SO once I get that figured out, I promise I'll post more. And I will post them at a nice interval of one every other day or so - instead of all at once.
I'll probably do something totally cheesy like:

• Make it Monday - A day for crafts.
• Wear it Wednesday - I'm not much for styles, but I do get excited over good clothing finds every once in awhile. Also this will contain D.I.Y. clothing, instead of filing it under crafts.
• Food Friday - This is pretty self-explanitory. Everything baked, cooked, boiled, sauteed, toasted, etc. This also includes restaurants and new foods reviewed.
• Funday Sunday/Seen it Saturday - Not sure about the title of this one, but this will contain concerts, movies and other activities.

Here are some posts you can look forward to:

• Adult lemonade
• PBBPC sandwich
• Eight o'clock coffee/s'mores creamer review
• 104.5 Winter Jam concert
• Chinese dragon puppet
• Neopolitan brownies
• T-shirt dress

INTRO

Recently I decided to delete my Facebook.

There were three main reasons behind this:

1. I hardly ever use it.
2. I am tired of the high school like drama surrounding the people on it.
3. But most importantly, I feel I have lost contact with a lot of people I used to talk to. I have this idea that creeping on people's profile pages is what has led to this disconnection between myself and others.
• Think about it... Say you are cleaning your room and you come across a book you borrowed from an friend years ago, but completely forgot about the book. You haven't talked to this friend for years because they moved to another state and so you don't see that person anymore. So you find this book and you are now thinking about the person. "I wonder what they are up to?"
• Then it begins. Instead of calling the person and saying: "Hey I found your book! What are you up to? Are you still living in ___? Are you still dating ____? How is your family?" You hop onto Facebook, search for their name, scan their profile page, scan their photos, maybe even search through their friends list.
• Then you get distracted by something else on the internet and your connection with that person has ended. They don't get their book back, you don't plan out a trip to visit them, you are missing some key piece of information from them (like their dad passed away, or they just got engaged) that they never had the chance to post on Facebook.

Anyway, after making this "big" decision it left me with one question.

"Now what?"

What am I going to do with my left over time not spent on Facebook. I'll just have to increase the time I spend on Tumblr, Imgfave, Pinterest, Xanga. But really, that's going to get soooo boring. 

Each of those pages have a purpose. Mostly they are for finding photos, foods, and crafts that interest me. I'll take the pictures and recipes, favorite them, and reblog them. Sometimes I will write long rants on Tumblr, but mostly Xanga, and then it's over and I go onto the next thing.

I don't ever make the food or crafts I see. I just find the pictures and share with people.

I want something new.

That's where this blog comes into play.

I want to actually recreate those things and post them here. I'll take pictures of the progress of crafts and foods, I'll write about new places I've been to, new foods I've tried, new people I've met.

This is not another site with the random things I like.
