A Smoke Signal

I haven't updated my title corner of he blogosphere in so long. Partly because I feel like I have nothing worthwhile to share and also because I'm increasingly frustrated with the look of Blogger templates. In an attempt to make this place look fresh and new I have gone and messed up my whole blog and hate how it looks. Le sigh.

I really want to start running this all the time again, but I'm just not very interesting. I'm not married or having a baby. I don't make crafts or cook/bake new recipes constantly enough. I'm not upwardly fashionable or organized. I don't take photographs or make art or do anything intellectually stimulating that is worth blogging about. I'm just a 22 year old college student being swallowed up by homework and organizations and thinking ahead. A bit of an amateur cook/baker who aspires to be crafty and diy-y. I don't have a niche, just my thoughts and things to share that I enjoy.

I feel like that's how I am in real life though. No one interesting, someone people overlook. Everyone I know is so involved in their own lives and milestones that I can't help but feel like an after thought. It's very petty for me to feel this way, I know, but it's something that creeps up from time to time. I have friends that are married, engaged, starting careers, involved with new people, etc... They don't all take the initiative to hang out or talk and I feel like I do a lot of the work. I guess at 22 it's better to start zeroing in on who is worth having in your life anyway.

But, forget all of that. Negative nonsense is just that, nonsense.

If you know of a good place to find simple, clean, looking templates let me know! I'd love to fix this asap. Now I'm off for a long night of adjusting schedules, going to meetings, playing with puppies, and attempting to get some sleep.

Oh shoot

Has it really been over a month since I updated? I'm pretty sure I vowed to take up blogging again, ah how time has different ideas. Anywho...in the last month I have...

• started doing Zumba on my Wii 3+ times a week
• began a newer, more structured, "diet"/weightloss plan. So far in 2 weeks I am down 6.2 pounds!
• experienced a crazy ice storm, terrible sever thunderstorms, and beautiful spring like weather
• found out I'm going to be an "aunt" again. (technically a "Miss Katie" since me and Joseph are only dating, but I've been around a long enough time)
• dyed my hair a newer shade of red
• gotten rear ended and NOT had any damage what-so-ever
• attended a candy party
• contemplated a lot of things in my life
• missed some people like crazy
• taken the next step toward adulthood by purchasing a crock pot
• tasted green beer (it's gross and just like normal beer)
• let my nails grow out all by myself
• purchased and iPhone4 which may be the greatest investment ever
• gotten an A+ on 3 tests
• been on spring break which really just meant going home to Fort Wayne and working
• many many other things

I really don't have much else of interest to speak of. It's Sunday, Joseph jst left after spending a lovely, cuddly, weekend with me, and I have a slew of tests and projects to get working on. However, I am feeling very lazy at the moment. Also, I am in love with using Instagram on my iPhone, so here are a couple of pictures for your viewing pleasure.

I just can't find the time or inspiration or motivation to blog lately. Nothing I think of sounds interesting enough and I have a severe case of blog envy which keeps me from writing in my own blog. Perhaps I'll regroup and rethink and get back to keeping this up to date soon. Sorry!

Uneventful and unexciting

My weekend starts in 10 minutes.
I have lots of packing to do for next week.
Tomorrow I work, but get paid overtime so it's ok.
Boyfriend is taking me to see Inception tomorrow night.
Hopefully Sunday I will catch some rays at the lake.
Amy comes home Saturday so I'm hoping I get to see her before she leaves for Nauvoo on Wednesday.

Have a lovely weekend!
