Many, many updates!

I seem to say this a lot on this blog, but I’m sorry for being so dispersive with my entires over the last few weeks.  I simply haven’t had time to blog with everything that has been going on.  I’ll try to fill all of you in on my life adventures since I last blogged.

First, I finally got the buses down! Thank goodness. All that stress lead to an anxiety attack.  It wasn’t the highest point in my life.  But, they changed the bus routes after I’d been here for 2 weeks and the new routes make my commute easier and faster.  I enjoy it much more.  It only takes about an hour or so each way – not too bad.  I’m just glad I have it down and don’t have to stress out about it as much anymore.  It makes life a little easier.

I saw Ryan last weekend for the first time since I moved to Pittsburgh a month ago.  This is the longest we’ve ever been apart.  It’s weird. I have seen him at least once a week for the entire 8 years we’ve been together, now it’s down to once a month.  I miss him a lot.  Only one more month until I move back down south with him, though.  I can’t wait.

I bought a crock pot cookbook. It was my first ever cookbook purchase (and, it’s on my 101 in 1001).  Usually, I just get the recipes online instead of buying a cookbook.  This was an exception though.  I have an easier time looking through recipes in print than I do online when making a grocery list or planning a party.  It’s just easier.  Because of that, I’m trying to find a way to organize all of my recipes.  I thought about typing up all of them and putting them in a binder or something, but I don’t know if I will like that.  I’m more of a fan of the recipe box or cookbook.  A binder isn’t that much different, I just like the aura of a cookbook or an old family recipe box.  Do any of you have a recipe system that works wonders for you? I need advice!  I want one that I can easily add to as I find new recipes, in the sections they belong in (like appetizers, sides, main dishes, etc).

And the most eventful thing to happen since I last blogged… I got food poisoning.  :(  YUCK.  I have never been so sick in my entire life!  I didn’t know that’s what I had, but I Googled it (hey, I belong to the technology generation, what do you want from me?) and I had every single symptom.  It was a rough 2 days.  I still can’t eat a full meal, I just don’t have the appetite I did before.  I won’t discuss all of the unpleasantries, just know that it was the singe worst experience of my life.  Easily.

I’m still trying to decide which phone I want to buy.  I’m leaning towards the Razzle.  It’s got good ratings, and someone had one at the zoo and it was really neat. I’ll let you know what I decide.  I love my phone, so it’s hard to get a new one.  But, it’s dying all the time so I need a phone with a better battery life.  What phone do you have?

The most recent thing I’ve done was have a movie night.  Last night, the girl I am staying with this summer and I had a Netflix watch instantly marathon.  We watched The Girl Next Door, Tamara, and Death of a Ghost Hunter.  The Girl Next Door was a good movie, but it was so difficult to watch… morally.  The things these people did to this girl… still gives me the shivers thinking about it.  It was so disturbing.  I felt like a sinner just for watching it. Tamara was awful, we just watched it because we are in love with awful B movies and this one fit the bill.  Death of a Ghost Hunter was AMAZING. Aside from Yvette and Mary Young being AWFUL actors, this movie was great.  So suspenseful and intriguing.  I was scared!  Another creepy good movie is called Them or Ils in French.  It’s creepy as heck!

I’m also thinking of updating my 101 in 1001 list.  Can you do that? I don’t really see why not, it is my list.  There are just some things that don’t fit what I want to do anymore.  I also want to catalog them like Caity did, her list is very inspiring.

I put up a new layout as well.  I love it. So cute.  I didn’t make this one, though.  The Artisteer program is lacking some settings I would like to see in themes that I build.  I might try to find a new program.

Alright, it’s nice to be back. I promise I will try to update more often. At least once a week. I swear.

P.S. I know that I’m not on here too often, but I still should be linked on your site if you have a link exchange with me.  I went through my list and if I couldn’t find a link to my site, I deleted your link.  If I made a mistake, please let me know!
