It's Been Awhile.....

Well I finally got a new computer. The cord for my old laptop was broken so instead of buying a new cord I just ended up getting a MacBook Pro!!!! yay!!!!

I have not been able to blog in FOREVER!!! We are no longer allowed on the internet at work....so between that and no computer at home...I have been behind!!! My goal at the beginning of the year was to blog 3 times a week....that hasn't happened!! Hopefully I will be able to get things moving on this blog!

Nothing much has been going on here...work has been really busy lately so that has been good! I am at least fulfilling one of my New Year Goals....going out of town at least once a month. Last night Kellie, Lisa, Sarah and I went up to Fairlawn and went to eat at Bravo's and then we went over to Barnes and Noble. I LOVE Barnes and Noble. The one in Fairlawn is the closest one we have!! :(  It was a fun evening. For our January outing we went to Cleveland to the West Side Market and then to Penzie Spices!!! Penzies is so fantastic! I was able to buy a few spices and they are awesome!!! Then we went to a restaurant called "Melt". It specializes in grilled cheese sandwiches!!! It was amazing!! I really am enjoying this New Years Resolution!!! Keeps me active and helping me find new things to do :)

Finally....

I finally ordered some glasses!!! Yea!!! I have been without them for almost a year now (since I stepped on them and broke the arm off)  and since all I wear are my contacts..... my eyes need air....and it is kinda annoying! So the eye doctors called and said that they are in! So so excited!!! There are just basic black- but I am super happy to wear them!!! Pictures to come :) Happy Monday!!!

Epic Fail.....

So one of my goals was to blog 3 times a week and already that is a fail!!! haha! so I am going to try and work on that! I have been busy the last few weeks....but that is no excuse! I am excited though because after work today I am going to get some eyeglasses!!! whoo whoo!!! I have been wearing my old pair for the past year and it only has one arm! lol! ( I don't wear them in public!!!!) I am hoping I can find a super cute, nerdy pair!!! We'll see!!! Pictures to come :)

Weekend Recap.....

I am going to try and recap my very uneventful weekend :) Friday night my friends Shannon (and her little boy), Sarah and I went to First Friday. First Friday is held in Downtown Canton on the first Friday of every month. It is always so fun so go to. A lady I work with was singing at one of the art galleries so we went there for a little while to hear her. We got coffee at my favorite coffee shop Muggwiggz. I am sorry for the lack of photos but I forgot my camera at home! After First Friday we went up to Red Robin for dinner. I have not been to Red Robin in years...and I will admit it was pretty good! Saturday I was a total bum...I only left the house to go to the grocery store. My nephews spent the night..so that was a lot of fun. Sunday I went to church, it was a busy morning....I had 2 meetings to go to. After church I went home and did nothing again all day!!! hahaha!!!! That is why there is a total lack of photos in this post, because I was lazy all weekend. It was really nice to have time to relax though--the past 2 months have been really stressful at work and I was so happy to just sit around and do nothing :)

The Last 8......

Here is the last of my list!!!!!

#21. Get a massage--on my list on my computer it said "Get a message"--ummm I might need to change that!!! hahaha!

#22. Take a self portrait once a month!

#23. Try 1 new recipe every month-- I am not a cook so this is really going to stretch me. I will have to start blogging about food! :)

#24. Go out of town at least once a month. It can be anywhere- but I at least want to start taking more day trips or even a weekend somewhere with friends!

#25. I want to explore my surrounding areas more. I want to go to the festivals that are around town, visit our museums, fairs, farmer's markets, thrifting....I want to see what our little town has to offer! I guess I just need to get out more! I am tired of doing the same old stuff!

#26. Buy a Coach purse- shallow--but I really have wanted one for years!!!

#27. Start and lead a LifeLine at my church.

Last but certainly not least!!!

#28. I want to get all of my hair chopped off for my 28th birthday! I have had the same hair since high school (my 10th year anniversary is coming up in June) I really think it is time to get it all chopped. Start fresh and new and what better day then my birthday!!!!

So there you have it!!! That is my list for this year! I hope and pray I can get everything done and accomplished!!!! Happy New Year!!!!

28 Things For My 28th Year!!!!

I don't turn 28 till June but I am wanting to get a head start on my list. I usually mix my New Years Resolutions and my To-Do List together!!!! I can only handle so many changes at a time :) Today I am going to list the first 10 and then will finish by the rest of the week! Warning: some of these are corny and dumb--but they are thing I want or want to do!!!   Let's begin!!!

#1. Lose a certain amount of weight. I know, EVERYONE has some kind of weigh loss resolution. I had one last year but that failed!!!! This year I am determined to conquer it!!!

#2. Buy new Uggs and wear them with skinny jeans (after my weight loss :)

#3. Skinny Jeans :)

#4. From June 1st- August 31st wear a skirt or dress everyday! I love summer dresses and would like to start buying some!

#5. Attend 1 concert every month! (Last year I was able to do 7- not too bad). I like this goal because it helps me get out and not be stale in my social life!

6#. Go on 5 dates- shallow but oh well! It can be with one guy or 5 guys!! haha! I would like to stick with 1 guy!

#7.  Spend a weekend in NYC with my dear friend Melissa. I was suppose to go last year but that did not happen!!!! I really am hoping it works out this year!

#8). I would like to have a certain amount of money in savings by the end of the year.

#9. Work and craft for my side business "Blissfully Simple."

#10. Take a photography class

Check back tomorrow for the next 10 :)
