not my strong suit.
but i know that there is a purpose and something to take out of all this waiting.

blast from the past
was searching through my phone and found this old picture. Jo and I decided because it was Tuesday, we'd get cupcakes. being indecisive about the kind we wanted, we split half and half. Peanutbutter-chocolate mint (i think) cupcakes for the win!

what i saw today
no picture today. i figure i should eventually explain why i've started posting random pictures in my blog. it seems a bit tedious and difficult (especially since i use blogger... if this were tumblr, or some other medium it may be easier =P) but i've been randomly following this blog for some time:
as one of my 101 goals, i had wanted to write 1001 blessings -one for each day i was attempting my list. however shortly after i started, i started skipping days, skipping weeks - remembering only every so often to write something down. forcing myself to stop and take a picture of what's going on around me, even if it's just a small glimpse reminds me of the wonders in my own world.
by no stretch of the imagination am i a good photographer. i don't have a great camera, or great photo editting capabilities or even a photographic 'eye'. But day by day sifting through those photos i was inspired to think about how each day has something new and different that maybe someone on the otherside of the world may never have seen. Something plain and simple to my eye may be spectacular and beautiful in someone else's.

long weekend & unfinished business
This weekend was a simple one.
It's been a long time since I've spent any stretch of time at home. From co-ops to school, to wedding planning. The past two years, every time I've been at home were spent running around helping out around the house, helping Heidi with her wedding details, helping cook, driving around and entertaining my 'niece', doing errands, studying, applying for jobs.
This weekend I chose not to do much of that and just spent a lot of time in my room, cleaning, throwing out things, folding things. When I wasn't doing that, I spent hours on hours playing settlers or spending time with family.
random fact #3 (i think...): If you know me well, I'm on an endless quest to clean my room. If I finally organize one section, another one needs to be cleaned out. I donate a bunch of clothes, and by the time they collect, I have a new pile started of what to donate next time. I'm constantly unsatisfied with the state of my room. And of course, it's because i'm a hoarder. I still have all the Kiwanis ribbons I won since I was 5. I have a cards (categorized by year) given to me since my 6th birthday. I have about 10 pencil cases full of pens and pencils that I've barely used. I have boxes and albums full of pictures. I have unfinished scrapbooks.
It makes me sad when I think about all the projects I've started that i just couldn't finish. I have drawers full of half done projects, that i can't bear to throw away because i sunk so much time into it... and never saw the finished product. I think I hoard because I yearn to complete these things. I always put it off because I tell myself in the future I'll have more time to myself and I'll actually concentrate on doing some of these things. Like read. Or knit. Or scrapbook. Or write. Or draw.
If it's one thing i want to change about myself it's finishing things. I don't typically have that kind of problem when it's for school, or for work. But when it comes to my personal projects, things I want to do for me, I never see it to completion. Goes to show where my priorities lie.
