Crafty Saturday #34

Honestly, I cannot keep straight what my plans and goals for this blog are, which is not a terrible thing because I do find it necessary to be so strict and routine about every single thing in life. With this being said, I still would like to have some general, broad idea just for the sake of knowing. But it is my blog so I suppose I have to decide where to go with this blog.
I really do love blogging, but there are times when it can feel like a chore, and then where does that get me? Have you ever felt that way before? I'm not sure if it's a temporary writer's block situation or if it is something greater than that. I just need to find my inspiration and motivation to keep doing it on a more regular basis, rather than when I get around to it.

Anyway, let's get on to the Crafty Saturday post. I'm not sure if I will keep doing these for much longer because it seems like all the diys I come across are all the same (I know that there are so many great ideas out there, but very few seem to strike my fancy lately), but we'll see how it goes. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places. I just don't seem to have as much luck with Pinterest anymore.

Currently - 15 January 2014

Listening - I'm currently not listening to anything, but I hear my brother in the kitchen making lunch. I am visiting my parents' house for the week.

Eating - I just finished eating a bowl of refried beans and black beans with taco seasoning.

Drinking - Water!!

Reading - The Good Life Lab: Radical Experiments in Hands-On Living by Wendy Jehanara Tremayne. I only just started it, but I love it so far.

Watching - I just finished watching a three-part Discovery documentary series on Netflix called Speed of Life. It was fascinating, but a bit gruesome (as nature/wildlife documentaries can be).

Planning - The drive I will be taking up to New Hampshire to visit my boyfriend this afternoon! :)

Wearing - I'm ashamed to admit this, but I am still wearing what I wore to bed last night, which is a pair of sweatpants with a really soft sweater.

Nails - Also a mess...chipped light pink. I don't really have any means of fixing them here at my parents' house, either.

Feeling - A bit under the weather. I think it is mostly in part due to anxiety surrounding getting a job.

Weather - It's quite sunny out and really not as it was a few weeks ago. During the blizzard, we got the lowest temperature I've ever seen living in Massachusetts for over 20 years, which was a windchill of -20F (-28C).

Wanting - A nap would be nice, but I would just like to be with my boy already.

Needing - A job! (This was my sentiment when I last did one of these posts two months ago, and here I am still in need of a job.)

Thinking -That I might watch the latest episode of Girls since my mom and brother just headed out.

 

Enjoying - Life. Because what else is there to do but enjoy it.

A picture of me being angsty last weekend just because. :)

Tumblr Tuesday #47

Keep Your Chin Up, Beautiful

Just a reminder that we can get through the toughest of times. Sometimes we feel too small in such a large world to make a difference, to be seen, to break through and conquer our goals.
These flowers growing through pavement help me remember that there is never an obstacle too large.
I can handle anything. You can handle anything. We can handle anything.

Happy Monday, friends. Here's to a beautiful and inspired week.
