It’s been a while since I posted anything. There’s probably a lot of good excuses I could come up with as to why that is, but let’s be honest my blog just isn’t a priority in my life. What’s sad is that i wish it could be. Unfortunately, this is a busy time in my life. I’ve been married 8 months, so I’m still in the newly wed phase. I absolutely love being married and I love my husband. Needless to say though I’d much rather spend time with him than write on my blog. I also, work a full-time job, which I love. I feel challenged everyday at my job, and I love my co-workers, they really are like family. And one would think seeing how where I work is full of computers, that I would be able to take the time to post to my blog. Unfortunately the little time I do have at work to myself is spent trying to rest my brain by watching Netflix on my iPad. Which, I’m sorry is apparently a huge priority in my life now:) “What about your days off?”, you ask. Well let’s see today is my day off and already I’ve accomplished laundry, taxes, paying bills, practicing keyboard, and, oh yeah, watching Netflix. And I would be off at the grocery store as we speak, but I realized after paying bills this morning, Trader Joe’s is just going to have to wait.

I know that all this may sound like I’m being negative or complaining about my life, but it is quite the opposite. I don’t have time to make blogging a priority, because my life is so full of wonderful things that I love. I love spending time with my husband! I love my job! I love watching Netflix! I love taking care of the house on my days off! And most of all I love knowing that God gave it all to me. I may not have time to blog on a consistent basis, but I have so much more. It’s just too bad that I can’t share all the wonderful things in my life everyday on my blog, because if I did  all those wonderful things probably wouldn’t be happening.

Maybe one day I’ll have time to make blogging a priority, or maybe it can just be something I do for fun from time to time:)

On October 19th, my shelf and I went from red to brown…

I bought my shelf back in 2005 and it was such a unique shelf. It was windy and bright red. During that time though my room scheme was red and black, so it fit in perfect. 

I grew up a red head, or I guess you could say a strawberry blonde. I’ve only dyed my hair a few times, but never anything other than another shade of red on top.

So this last Tuesday, I decided it was time for a change. My shelf no longer fit into my apartment scheme, and my natural hair color no longer fit me. 

So my shelf and I both became Brunette’s!!!

What do you think?

I’m currently blogging from one of the new MacBook Air’s. I’m using the 11 inch, and it feels amazing! It’s so light and the full keyboard makes it so easy to type on. I could see this being an amazing tool for someone who has a regular blog and is on the go always. 

Instant on and flash hard drive……so cool!!!

I love it!!!

You know it!!!

Charles (my husband) and I went for a walk last night, and of course we couldn’t go without our iphones and headphones. We synced our playlists and took off down Los Angeles Ave. It was so much fun! We were dancing and lip syncing as we took a walk to grab dinner. 

We had such a blast. I’ve never had so much fun going on a walk before. I hope we continue to go on dance walks:)
