Blow, Blow Thou WInter Wind

Yea... winter is now upon us. We have flurries flying, the wind is howling, and the temperature is down. Ugh. I wanted to just stay in bed today. However, I braved the cold wearing my long socks, pajama pants, jeans, tank top, long sleeved shirt, 2 pairs of gloves, 2 scarves, and my big, white, puffy winter coat. Yes, I have a hate for being cold. It may be a little extreme for today, but being cold is something I can't stand. At all. SO... I bundled up.

I wouldn't have had to wear so much if my car was working. Yep, it's still sitting out at Prairie Junction... I haven't heard from my friend who has a connection to a trailer. I'm hoping by the end of the week, I can have the car in the shop.

So much to do... I think my mind is permanently going to be running in at least 5 directions at once for the rest of my life. It's insane! I have classes, work study, internship, my actual job, applying for graduate school, outside projects, and... oh yea, that thing call life outside of all of that. The little time I do have for my life, I include time with Travis, time to myself, cleaning my apartment, laundry, and socializing with friends. Always. Busy.

Still haven't come up with a "sign off"... thinking I need to look through some lyrics or something. Again, for now...

First Post

Well, hello blogging world!

Yes, I've decided to start up a blog... again. Well, I had a MySpace... but we will just not count that.

Thanksgiving Break just ended and I've decided to start a new chapter in my life, sort of. Let me explain.

-First... I want to actually stick to a work out plan. I have until March to get "into shape" for Spring Break. Travis (my boyfriend) and I are going to Florida for that week. Luckily, for the third year in a row, Spring Break has landed on my birthday. I want to at least feel more comfortable in a bikini. I'm especially excited to take Travis with me. It will be our first vacation together... and he's never been to Florida. ^_^

-Second... Going along with the first part, I want to start eating better... A lot less sweets. More healthy stuff. I've been helping Travis in trying to eat better, but I haven't been doing the best job of it. Starting today, I will do a better job!

-Third... I need to get in gear and get my portfolio together. I mean, I have most of the pieces that I want in there... I just have to print them, mount them, and finish up the other supplementary items that go in with it. The theme? "Traveling Artist/Musician." Thoughts?

-Fourth... There are too many things in my apartment that I'm not using... I need to get a sale together and get rid of stuff. If anyone is interested in jewelry, clothes, shoes, photo albums, books, and general stuff, get a hold of me. I'm sure I have something for you.

I guess beyond that it's just a lot of little things that I need to get done. Christmas gifts, cleaning, homework... etc. Obviously, I have my priorities in order, eh? lol Anyway, that's all for now, but I'm looking to post as much as I can.

PS. I love, LOVE P!nk. (Hence the blog name... and such)

Hm... need to think of a signature... for now...
