what a day i had yesterday!

the night before last we had the most amazing lightning storm i have ever seen. I had been watching footage of of the joplin and Alabama. so, of coarse as i was watching this lightning and listening to the thunder i couldn't help but to think that i was going to wake up to a house with no roof. well, that didn't happen to me but it did happen to a few people in my town. I couldn't believe what i saw when i drove down main street. I was complaining about having no electricity and here people have trees falling on their houses and having to deal with waking up to no roof! Here are a few pictures. I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable memorial day, and a huge thank you to all the troops here and everywhere!

a new hobby

So, i was searching around on Etsy and i saw that people were making and selling these phone cases for like $40 and i thought to myself, i could make those! So..i am going to! I picked up some stuff at walmart yesterday and on Friday i am going to pick up some more stuff at the craft store. I also ordered that charm like things from etsy, which must be coming from China or something? haha because it is taking forever! I can't wit to get some money and start making these things! Hopefully this will give me some extra money on the side and that i am actually good at it. Well i am off to go sort some beads!

working what?

Todays blog post is going to be on fitness. I know, I know, it seems like that is what EVERYONE is talking about. I am not one of those people that like to work out or really want to work out. I just want to loose weight. I am in college, and i have of course packed on some pounds. Now, if it were only like 5lbs i wouldn't even care but it's a few more. So, the first day home i jumped on the tredmil first thing in the morning, it felt good and it wasn't all that bad. about 10 days later i haven't touched the thing once. It's not like i have to drive to the gym or anything either, it is right down stairs in my parents bedroom, AHH! So, I am going to try and make it a routine to get on there because honestly i can't stand how i look. I feel as those when i go and see old friends the only thing they are thinking is "Wow, she has gained a lot of weight" because i know i do the same thing! Now, i'm not even comfortable telling my boyfriend, whom i tell everything to, how much i weigh so i would be crazy to post it on here, but cheers to be losing lots of lbs in the near future, hopefully!

anywho, i guess i will share a not-so-wonderful picture of myself so that sooner or later i can post a before and after :)

The other day i got to babysit my nephew for the first time in awhile. I had also got a new camera the day before so i couldn't wait to take pictures of my favorite subject all day long while i chased him around. Here are a few from the day :)

blogspot?

So, i thought i would give blogspot a try. I have a tumblr that i once loved but pretty much hate to get one now-a-days. I am going to be using this as a personal blog where i talk about my day to day experiences, diet & exercise, and i'll be post some picture of mine. It's late so this is going to be short but i will play around with this some more tomorrow. If anyone is out there, good night!
