Inspiration or Lack Thereof

I really have nothing of importance or interest to share with you all. It's been a long, hard week back at work since the holidays and being sick. I have nothing to report to you. Typically on a Friday night after work I'd be with the boy, but he works early tomorrow morning and all day, so there wasn't much point in going to stay over at his place. Tonight it's just going to be me and a movie that I rented from Redbox. Perhaps a pint of custard from Kopps if I'm feeling daring enough. Who knows where this night will lead me! Let's not kid ourselves, I will be in bed before 10 as usual.

I hope to find inspiration or something of interest to share with you all soon. My life is rather boring at the moment, but I promised me in this blog. And sometimes, I'm rather boring and uninspired. I guess that means it is time to get out and be inspired by something!

Ice Ice Baby

I've had a lot on my mind recently. I've been doing lots of thinking and trying to sort it all out. I know I said I would share with you all my deepest darkest thoughts and secrets, but this life changing event is not something I'm quite ready to share until it actually happens. Basically the boy has a job offer on the table that would move him and potentially myself to another state, and one that I would not be really excited to live in. Being with him would be the best thing for me and I'd go no matter where he went. I don't want to go into too much detail, until the time approaches when he makes a decision. Unfortunately, he still has some interviews and has to fly out to the potential place to check it out, so none of this stuff will be settled until the end of the month. I've known about it since mid December and I've been able to tuck it away and not think about it, but as it gets closer and closer it becomes more real. He is obviously weighing his options and has a lot to think about. I support him no matter what he chooses. Anyways, with us not going to Chicago this past weekend, and his bathfitters gig starts up again at the end of the month and realizing our 1 year is the first weekend of February I'm just afraid I'm going to get lost in the shuffle of it all. I feel like I'm being put towards the back of his mind, instead of being included in anything. He has asked for my input, and I know he appreciates it and I know he is stressed out with everything, that I'm not exactly priority in his life at the moment. Long story short, I took a nice walk this morning to think about ALL of this and realized it was super icy. I slipped a few times, but luckily I've got quick reflexes and managed to stay upright the whole time. Still a little under the weather but I'm happy to at least get that walk in to help me clear my head a little.

The Shoes

I've been waiting for these shoes forever. I had a pair of converse last year that were from Target, but they were not the ones I had been looking for, so I settled for the cheap ones then. Finally, today, with Christmas money I bought them. I know I could have used that money for other things, but I rarely get to treat myself. So here they are my new, beautiful white Converse All-Stars pictures taken with my new easy to use camera:

Love my new kicks!

New Look

As you should be able to tell, I've completely updated the blog. I've spent the better part of this morning looking for a perfect background, something light and fresh. I still my fiddle around with some stuff, but this is the look for now. I've updated my profile and my tabs.

I also want to keep my blog as it was before, a place for me to share about my life and my secrets and my deep thoughts. I want to keep it real as I discover myself. I want to keep it about life.

I want to remember these quotes as I write my posts:

 "Life is hard, yet so very beautiful".

"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours- it is an amazing journey- and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins." ~BM


Get ready for MY life, pure and real.

Being Sick Equals Ruined Weekend

After being out of commission for over 3 days I'm finally feeling a little bit better. I went to the doctor last night and they informed me that I had a sinus infection. Such a lovely little thing. They gave me a high dosage of antibiotics to knock it right out. Last night I woke up a few times in a pile of sweat, so I'm pretty sure I burned it out. In a way being sick was nice, I got to enjoy a few more days off of work, without pay, but I needed to rest and get better. However, being sick does not come without its vices. The boy and I had planned for about a month now to go to Chicago this weekend. We already had a hotel booked, a list of things we wanted to see and do and I was really excited to get out of dodge for a few days. The boy called the hotel yesterday to cancel, because I was still very sick. I asked him if he could look into next weekend and he said he did but there was nothing available. So according to him the next best time to go is a whole month from now. Or possibly longer. He's supposed to come over tonight so hopefully I can convince him to check out another hotel so we can still go in the next month. I'm really getting antsy to do something outside of the city of Milwaukee. (Not to mention I was really looking forward to using my new camera my sis and bro-in-law got me for Christmas.)

Plans for 2013

As promised here are things that I plan on doing for 2013. I'm ready for whatever this year brings, good and bad. Luckily, 2012 brought me more good things. So I could go for a repeat year with even more life changing experiences.

I've sort of forgotten about my bucket list so I want to revisit it and cross at least 5 things off that list this year. What those things are, are yet to be determined.

I want to do more blogging and have more people read my blog. I want to have at least 15 more followers by the end of the year.

I want to do more reading. For quite a while I had been reading anything. Recently, especially since I'm no longer in school I've neglected to pick up a book. I feel it is time to change that. My brain could use some more knowledge.

I want to run in at least 5 races this year.

I want to get back to a regular workout routine as towards the end of 2012 I basically stopped doing anything.

I want to take more pictures of family gatherings and places I go. I failed miserably on that last year.

At some point this year I would love to make it out of the country. And I don't just mean to Canada or Mexico. I mean Costa Rica or England, or anywhere else.

I would also like to start documenting the highlights of my month or day. So at the end of the year I can reflect on all that I've done and can say "Hey I did that this year!"

Here are some ideas from Pinterest on how to do the above:

Let's Recap

Yes it is one of those typical posts about the end of the year and the start of a new one. Reflecting on the good and bad and preparing for the year ahead. I'm not going to give you resolutions for the new year until tomorrow, since currently I'm very much under the weather and can barely think straight as it is. My year simply summed up goes like this: girl meets boy, girl and boy spend lots of time together getting to know each other, they fall in love, and ring in the new year together. I told you it was simple. If I went into each month and pulled out the highlights I don't think that I could. We would be here forever. I'm going to rest this weary body and hopefully a good night's sleep can knock this out pretty quick!


Happy New Year!
