breaks are good

i know i have been away from the blog for a while, but i do have a life outside of the internet world ;) my break has been good and much needed as i was lacking some serious inspiration. i'm starting to plan a new blog update/look and i'm going to really focus my blog. so look forward to some pretty changes and new topics :) be patient, it will be worth the wait.

i'm still here

boy has it been a crazy busy week! i can officially say that we are (mostly) settled into our new apartment after what may have been the worst moving experience EVER! i'm not kidding...here is a summary of that day:
-woke up early and moved the small stuff we could to the new place ourselves
-get a call from the moving company that they will be an hour late (mind you that we had a wedding to go to that night)
-oh, nevermind the movers will be here on time after my little chat with the company
-finally start packing up the boxes and furniture at 2:00pm
-david calls and says we have a nail in my car tire and we have to call AAA to fix it since the magical piece to change a VW tire is missing (found it later in the change jar in my car)
-movers are taking foooorrreeevvveerr, still not done loading at 4:45pm
-we leave my brother in charge while we head to the wedding at 5:15pm
-come home to a distraster of a place, because one mover passed out and it was just the one other guy and my brother moving our stuff in...
-after a few phone calls and some angry words, we got a pretty good discount off our total price.
needless to say, i am never using arizona discount movers again and i am just glad we are finally organized and settling into our new home and will be there for the next year. which i'm happy about because the sight of one more box would probably make me sick.
so i will be posting reguarly again here soon. i've missed you :)

where i blog

after reading kayla's post last week about where she blogs, i thought it would be interesting to show where i blog too :)

depending on what mood i'm in determines where i will blog, but most of the time i sit at my kitchen table. it is right by the window so there is plenty of natural light, and it is off to the side of my living room, so i won't miss anything else going on at the time. plus i really love my table cloth. it makes me happy.

hoped you enjoyed the view into my little blogging life :)

okay, i give in.

ever since my facebook got hacked and i got tangled in a money scam (don't worry, i didn't lose anything!) i have been anti-social media. i deleted my facebook and vowed to never look back (don't know how long that will last, ha).

i still don't have a facebook, BUT i did start up my twitter again and started a tumblr too! look at me go :) so all of you social media junkies out there should definitely follow me. i promise to follow you too :) go ahead, click on those links on the side...
