Yes, yes I know I said in my first blog I wanted to be uber proactive and post things daily... Yep-not living in a movie! Well the movie is actually a true story, so I must say I'm impressed with Julie's dedication to post every day for a year...bravo! (Step onto soapbox) That movie really teased with my senses. Made me extremely hungry and bothered simultaneously. Sinfully delicious food on one hand, causing my mouth to water, and exceedingly annoying shreaks on the other (sorry ears) thanks to Julia Child's infamous tone of voice. "Hiiiiiiii I'm Juuuuuuuuulia Chiiiiiiiilds." Ahh please stop whining out your vowels! Although, as irritated as I was, it didn't ruin the fact that Meryl Streep is still one of my heroes. (Step off soapbox) Hmm, come to think of it, I guess your entire blog is like a soapbox...but woh--that goes too deep for me.
My problem is that I have found that designing my blog (adding the fun buttons, signatures, fonts, etc) is actually more entertaining than posting or blogging itself! I came home from work yesterday and rather than going to spin class, I crawled in my bed with my MacBook and read tutorial after tutorial about coding and photobooking. Can someone say NERD? I actually feel more "tech-savvy" if at all possible. I was bragging about this to my boyfriend last night. He is a computer science guru so I carried on exclaiming "look at me, look at me! I can HTML code!" And for some reason that gives me a sense of coolness (sad day).
*Side note: If you are a beginner blogger like me, visit http://www.kevinandamanda.com/whatsnew/. Amanda has so many easy tutorials on how to code..it's great!
So back to my so-called excuses for procrastination 1) Football season just started 2) I attended a birthday celebration last weekend (which led to daytime recovery) 3) TV PREMIRE WEEK! Number 3 is the kicker. I've been long awaiting the preimere of the buzzed about HBO series "Boardwalk Empire," along with my CWTV high school show indulgences 90210, Gossip Girl, & One Tree Hill. Woo hoo, not ashamed! And not to mention new Modern Family, Cougar Town, Grey's, Private Practice...and the most anticipated of them all....GLEE!
Glee is my guilty pleasure. Period. When Rachel sang "Telephone" with the new girl in the bathroom I was beltin' it.....
Now that I have officially gone in a completely different direction than the original focus of this blog, I suppose I should slowly
reeeeeel myself back in. As mini-first projects I painted a few frames (pictured below). I got on Craiglist, bought a $10 box of paints, $20 box of old frames, and numerous other new arty things. I even got myself an awesome antqiue shelf for my supplies (pictured below-sorry for blur) from my all time favorite store in Fayetteville, The Flying Dog. Become a fan....
http://en-gb.facebook.com/pages/Fayetteville-AR/Flying-Dog-Vintage-Mall/101119758554 because it is awesome. Anyway! These two frames started out as old, plain brown wood. But I brought them back to life! I painted the first one a glossy, lime green. The second was painted blue at first, but I felt it needed more...so I gave it a distressed look.
That adorable cat in the frame is Miss Snug! Enjoy--and please leave comments if you feel so inclined :)
