It’s OK and my first 30 second Thursday!

Its Ok Thursdays

Thank Goodness!! I mean, really!! THANK GOODNESS!! It’s finally Thursday!  Seriously… I’ve woken up like 2-3 days this week and thought it was a day ahead of what it actually was – which sucks, because really… by the time Friday gets here, I’m gonna think it’s Saturday until I realize that I have to go to work! Then I’ll probably be a little depressed, sorry to say!

Ok, so time for It’s OK Thursday!

It’s OK…

… to have fallen in love with bloglovin’  – I keep up with posts and commenting SO much better, and if I don’t have time, I have my blogs organized into sections, and I always make sure to at least read my “daily reads”

… to have gotten THREE, yes, THREE blog awards this week!  Thank you lovely ladies!

… be watching How I met your mother right now, what’s new, right?

… to have splurged on an Erin Condren planner, my maybooks is already fading sadly, so I’ll use it for menu planning and workouts!

… to miss my sisters even when I live with them – our schedules are SO different, I’m like all “responsible” (if that’s possible) and my sisters are all in college and staying out late and spending time with friends, blah, blah, blah.  So really, I miss my sisters!

… to love my wonderful 92 blog bff’s!

… to be curious about that southern blogger meet-up that was going to happen, haven’t heard anything in a while, and I know people are busy, so I may just try to organize one myself, should I do that? I don’t know!?  I’d really love to meet some of you wonderful girls!

… that my It’s OK comments are looking pretty lengthy

… to crave Starbucks, but be “responsible” (what is it with me and that word?) and not get it

… to be excited about a few firsts coming up on the blog: my first product review (with a giveaway), my first personal giveaway when I hit 100, my first vlog (yeah, I keep saying that don’t I, but look below! what, what!?)

… to do two link ups today (even though I don’t usually because I personally don’t like it) because one is an actual post, like this, the other is a short 30 second vlog! Enjoy!

… to get excited about checking the mail everyday!

… to be really hopeful that the university is closed today (due to snow!), I’d love to work play from home!

Now, enjoy…

30 Second Thursdays


{sorry for the gross face! haha}

Hope you’re having a great week, I’ve been noticing a lot of people aren’t over the blogosphere, but lets cross our fingers for a great weekend and a good start to next week!

Oh, How Pinteresting!

Good Morning my darlings! I have a lot of pinteresting things I want to do right now… and the sad part is, is that I’m motivated to do it, I just don’t haha.  I keep thinking, oh I need to do that asap, and then the days just slide by, each day by day.  But it’s making me realize as I write this, that I’m not getting the most out of my 2013 like I want too, so maybe this will be the push that I need! 

**Also, does pinterest annoy anyone else on blogger with the stupid sources format?  It gives me a pain in the tail EVERY.SINGLE.TIME! It won’t center with my pictures and it’s almost impossible to write a comment under each one, grr…. **

I made this the other night for dinner and it was delicious and super easy.  I steamed up some brocolli to go with it and made 1/2 a cup of rice.  It was a perfect portion size for 2 people! (Excuse the elementary star spangled banner plates)

I’d love to make these for my bff’s

I seriously love blogging, but…

blogging

I know I’m not the only awesome person out there who loves blogging, obviously!  But aren’t there a few things that bother you?  I’m not talking about the major things that make some bloggers annoying or not the best, heck, I may be that blogger at times.  But there are also GOOD things in the blogging community that can be so frustrating, things that really bother me! 

Why can’t you know these people face-to-face?  I  know that some bloggers get together and get to meet, but I’ve been doing this for over a year now and haven’t gotten to meet any of my bloggy friends and it makes me sad.  I know one day I’ll get to know some of them, but the truth is, I probably won’t meet all of you wonderful ladies (and a few men in there too)!

Link-Ups, There are so many great ones!  I saw someone tweet yesterday asking how you choose which link-ups to do in a day when there are a bunch of great ones!  I personally am not one of those people that likes to do 2 or more link-ups in a single day.  I know it would probably grow my numbers to be a part of that many link-ups, but the truth is, I don’t think my readers would like to read through all that.  I don’t like for my posts to get too long and at some point I just think too many link-ups is too much!  But seriously, how do you choose?  I join in on Friday Letters and It’s OK Thursday EVERY single week and I don’t want that to change, so when I hear about other link-ups on those days, I want to join, but I can’t get myself away from these 2 that I’ve been doing for so long now.

This needs to be my job!  Do y’all feel that way?  You would prefer to spend so much time blogging, growing your blog, meeting new people, commenting and so on… but there is this whole other life, your real life, that you have to continue on with.  It sucks sometimes, but I know there are people out there who do use their blog as their business and I would love for that to one day be me!  That time is NOT now, but it’s a dream… maybe one day!

What are your frustrations with blogging?  (not what other bloggers do that irritate you)
What is your dream for your blog?
Have you had the chance to meet blog friends IRL?
How many link-ups do you do per week?  Which ones?
