motivation


I'm having trouble getting the motivation to get back into blogging. Which is weird, since I really enjoyed it when I was doing it consistently. And I'm not lacking motivation in other areas, which is equally startling, as I'm not usually a go-getter.

But let me elaborate about my productivity in other areas, to show for comparison about what a bad blogger I've been: I've worked out four days (so far, there's still tomorrow!) this week, and today I even got up at 6 to run despite the fact that my running buddy cancelled on me, and Russ declined to go with me as well. I've been doing the readings for most of my classes for the first time in my life. I applied for two jobs within the last week, one of which I've already been offered, and the other for which I have an interview today. The house is cleaner than usual, because I've been trying to clean at least one room per week. I'm telling you--motivation on all levels except blogging!

The problem with blogging is that I don't know what I want this blog to be anymore. I originally thought it would just be a record of what's going in my family's life. But then I got into the blogosphere a little deeper, and I loved meeting new people through blogging! I loved being inspired by other bloggers and becoming friends with other bloggers. And I want a blog that does that--I want to inspire others and be a genuine friend to any who come visit my blog. But I'm not sure exactly what all that entails, and I'm not sure what time I have to dedicate to this blog. So I guess I'm still just trying to figure out the future of this blog. Thanks to those who stick with me even while my posts are few :)

    I love when you blog! And hey, props on being so motivated in all those other areas. I have no job, no school, and no other commitments here, and yet I haven't worked out once, haven't tried to find any online jobs, and have trouble keeping our little apartment clean. So really, you're doing awesome.

    I'm with you, I haven't posted in over a week! Haven't gone that long in a while...unlike you though, I'm equally as unmotivated in real life as I am with blogging, haha! I guess thats why blogging is taking a back seat because it takes all my energy just to do my laundry ;) No shame in infrequent posts! Especially since you've been so productive lately. If you only post when you want to say or share something, your blog will never be boring and you wont get burnt out.

our first murder mystery

A murder mystery been on my "party list" for ages, but I've never gotten around to throwing one (probably because there are too many other ideas on my party list haha). So even though we were planning to do Harry Potter movie parties every Friday and Saturday in October, when my friend asked if we'd be available for a murder mystery, I told her I would rearrange my schedule to be there! Haha :) When the actual invitation came, I was super impressed because it was so themed and legit! Diana went above and beyond -- the kit they bought (from  Night of Mystery ) came with invitations, but she had someone design different ones that were so awesome. Girl knows how to get the party started right from the get-go! I had heard about and seen other murder mysteries before, and the main thing I always heard about was people dressing up. It was so fun to arrive at Diana and Michael's and find that everyone had really gone all out with their costumes! Wigs,

Lately I have been looking for a nice purse. I always carry a bag around, and so I want something that looks nicer and more grown-up. Trouble is, I can't make up my mind!

Please help me out! :) one.   couldn't find a picture online so . . . you get my inadequate photography skills on this one :) Cobalt Bag: Burlington Coat Factory Similar:  A.   B. ++pros big enough to fit my planner best price ----cons might be bigger than I want limited organizational features (only two giant sections; no smaller compartments and zipper areas) two.  Coral Bag:  Target ++pros smaller size love  all of the compartmental options ----cons I have a lot of shirts this color, so it will look either too matchy-matchy, or the two very similar colors will clash won't fit my planner three. sidenote: I don't actually wear cross-body purses across my body (pict

one.  Remember that secret I mentioned last week ? Well I guess I'll tell you now, only it's in a sad way rather than an excited way. We were contemplating moving to England for six months sometime next year (around May). It was a secret because we hadn't decided whether or not we were going to do it yet. But now we've made our decision, and we're not doing it. But I figured I should still mention it since I left you all hanging last week. Someday . . .  two.  As I browse blogs, I often come across bloggers wearing adorable clothes and linking up where they got the clothes from. They always say stuff like "I got this amazing dress, and it's so affordable! " I'm amazed to see what prices people call "affordable." And I'm not trying to be mean--I just think I have a different definition of "affordable." I could afford  just about any outfit that people post about. But I'm a bargain shopper. I don't pay more
