Moving

Just kidding. Yesterday we seriously toyed with the idea of moving across town to a 3-bedroom house with a fenced in backyard so that we could get a dog and really live the high life. We got the info, crunched the numbers, everything.

We aren’t.

It was fun to imagine decorating the house in my style with all our furniture, even having a guest room and an office, but the sad truth is we can’t afford it right now.

Who knows, maybe I’ll get one of these jobs I’ve been applying to and we’ll get the opportunity to move to a big city in another state. Gotta continue to be patient….

Setback

Last night was supposed to be the night for me to conquer the chair I shared with you yesterday. However, the hand stapler we bought from Lowe’s refused to cooperate, which resulted in my throwing a tantrum; I’m not quite proud of it. This has been a very frustrating week for me and it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. And I’m in a pretty bad mood, hence no post this morning.

If you see a post from me here tomorrow, you’ll know my frown has turned upside down. If not, keep me in your thoughts as I attempt to return to my usual charming self.

Small Update

Good morning blog world!

If you want full disclosure, I’m writing this the night before since I work during prime blogging hours. If I post in the middle of the night nobody will see what I write, and this is where WordPress’s handy schedule tool comes into play ;) Well, here is my update on the status of my blog!

Blogging is currently, and has been for a while now, one of my favorite hobbies–tied with, and hand-in-hand with, interior design (decorating, if you’re going to get picky). I’m excited about starting a new series in which I make design color boards based off food! Weird, I know. But food can be totally pretty and I’ve been inspired more than once by surprising and delicious combinations. It’s also going to be my starting point to re-learning Photoshop (that is, first time on Photoshop on a mac).

I used to use a sample version of PS many many moons ago, and currently I’ve been using Corel Paint Shop Pro X, which really is pretty good. But I figure if I wanna kick this whole graphic design/photo editing thing into high gear (even if it just remains a hobby) I should get my feet wet in the industry standard program.

If my blog posts are sparser, it’s either because I’m being lazy and watching Gilmore Girls on DVD (in fact, this is the least likely option, but still an option nonetheless) or because I’m working on something (photos, a design board, etc) that I am not ready to show here yet. I’ll still try to update daily, though, just don’t be surprised if the posts are a little anemic.

Oh yeah. I’m also trying to find a big-girl job in a big city, so part (a lot) of my time is going to that, too. I’ve already got 3 rejections out of like 15 applications! Yay!

 

PS. Don’t forget to click on the Picket Fence Blogs link to the right of this post. You can vote once a day and I’ve already jumped to #149 (of 241) :) It’s a great way for strangers to see my blog, that is, if they happen to look at all the blogs on page six of that site, haha.
