Quickie!

Posted on Posted in Blog, ProjectsTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

I just wanted to get a quick post out. Once again, so much keeps happening. Sage came by the other day and we’re pledging to revive or basically just dedicate more time to our blogs. I’m going to start writing a blog at least once a day. It is therapeutic and something I enjoy, so why not everyday?

I’ve been renovating the apt and I painted the lower level of my townhouse-styled apartment last week. I picked up some gadgets for the office from IKEA and Brandsmart USA yesterday so hopefully we can finish painting the upper level. It’s the hallway I am worried about; it’s over 15′ high. I can already imagine all the disastrous mishaps I’ll have with a ladder and an extended paint roller. I originally had the whole nautical and beach cabana concept in mind but what can I say … things just happened. The main walls of the living and dining are a pale silver-gray. The adjoining wall of my kitchen and dining room is a lavender (I’ll explain later but it’s basically feng shui stuff) and the bathroom is an almost muted blue. I REALLY need to get that dSLR because I hate the current one that I have and I don’t even feel like taking photos with them. I love making my posts vivid and full of photos so I’m going to work on that for you guys. I’ll clean up the house after tonight and take some photos before the new week begins during the day. All I can say is that this place looks spectacular. It stills needs a lot of TLC but I’m feeling the pride!

Anyway, I somehow forgot that IKEA lets kids eat for free on Tuesdays so it was a pleasant surprise yesterday. I tried their stuffed salmon and it was really good. I love the medallions, you know, the broccoli looking cakes made of broccoli and cheese, I presume. I think I saw them in the food section, but I was already on my way out and wanted to get home asap. I love going to IKEA because I feel like I get a whole lot of bang for my buck, I love their food, and because I love the constant flow of inspiration there. I can’t say I really trust to buy a couch or a dining table from them just because of quality reasons, but if you’re on a budget it’s definitely the place for you. I’m doing a lot of decorating so for the little things, like 20 photo frames, it’s worth it.

Here’s a photo of Jackson and Peter when we were in the dining area:

I love the Lingon Berry drink (bottom right) and the medallions ( bottom left and right).

I hope you all have been having a great week and I’ll be posting a great album of my recent horseback riding trip in the Cohutta wilderness tomorrow.

School, Gym, and Dance Central 3

Posted on Posted in Blog, TechnologyTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

I know there hasn’t been much activity on this blog from my end. School started three weeks ago and I’ve been doing my best to stay on top. Despite my continuing success in school, I did momentarily doubt myself. I’m feeling a lot better about my career choices and I aspire to be highly successful. I began writing a short story last night. I’ve got a few pages down and maybe it’ll get somewhere if I stay diligent. It’s a coming of age story and I guess it’ll probably appeal to younger adults or even teens. I just wanted to write that’s all. I know my writing is damn good but people will never know if I don’t write. I used to write often, but I’ve stopped doing many things these days such as baking, hosting, painting, etc.

I’m taking six classes at the moment with one half-term class and five full-terms. I just got through my midterm on the half-term class and I look forward to getting all A’s this semester. I don’t feel late anymore because there are plenty of people who started school at the same time I did, and they’ll graduate this year. I can’t say that their grades look that good though.

I have so many projects in my head, If I could, I’d hire someone to type for me. Typing is so tedious especially when you’re the type of person who has to change every error as you go.

Peter and I signed up for our gym memberships at Planet Fitness. I used to workout there about three years ago and I am glad that I am back. I didn’t have a great experience with the other location due to cancellation issues but I really do like this one. It’s busy though around the time that we’re able to go. We started last Saturday, missed Monday so we went on Tuesday, missed Wednesday because of the tornado watch, and we’re going tonight. I usually hate it when my schedule gets thrown off because I have Dance Central days on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays for another class. Also, there was a classmate in one of my classes who said Planet Fitness is a waste of money and that it smells funny. That place is full of sweaty people working out, what was it supposed to smell like? Plus, if $10-20 is too much, then you probably couldn’t afford the gym anyway considering the cost of other gyms. I absolutely hate working out at home or outside so I resort to the gym (unless it Dance Central).

I’ve been relaxing and kind of bored this week since I finished all of my assignments on the day the new week began. I just have to make sure I keep writing the short story.

Here is a cluster of this week’s photos:

This one is a little older than a week, but oh well. I had to make a mask for theatre mask. This is what I cam up with in an hour.
This is Boots, one of my two cats. I had just installed a new light fixture in my office so I decided to take photos of him.
These were the last ones left at Target. I love Post-it’s and I love pugs.
I was putting the dishes away when I saw an xbox controller lodged in the dishwasher rack. Good thing Jackson put it in when I was putting dishes away and not before!
I love these sandwiches at Squisito. Super toasted with Americano cheese.

I’ll try my best to post as much as I workout every week! :)
