My first official vlog

It's only an intro just to say what my plans are. I couldn't even tell you why I did an intro. Derp.

Enjoy the trainwreck!

Adventures in Vlogging

I've made videos before. Short clips here and there of my kiddo. Some photo slide shows. I've even made vlogs - but these are long gone.

I've decided to get back into vlogging. It's mostly because I want to challenge and motivate myself to do something new and to explore a new way of expression. I have a lot of ideas that I'm doing.
I'm starting off with what I see on beauty vlogs... whats in my bag, my accent, closet tour, make up collection and I'm planning on a letterboxing series. And I'm thinking that I'll do some craft how-to's.

If there is something you'd like to see, make some suggestions! I'm hoping that I'll get to do a Q&A vlog.

Plant life

My last visit to our hometown ended with me taking home plants. I've grown these plants successfully but one winter wiped them all out. So I took the last of what my mom had of one plant and excess of a couple others to try and grow. My dad also gave me a cucumber plant. So far I haven't killed them yet.

Random Thoughts v.4.13

There are things I should be doing instead of this. For instance, grades and getting next weeks lessons prepared. But apparently, I don't really care too much. Otherwise I'd be doing them. I am distracting myself.

Since it has been more than one month since my last post, I figured now would be a great time to update. Everyone is feeling the "summer itch." The seniors have 'senior-itis' and everyone else has cabin fever.

I had one student order prom flowers. At least I had a repeat customer. She is one of the kiddos that ordered a mum from me. I've started taking Zumba classes. I've only been to a few and I love it. My dance class is now an advanced class. I don't know if I'll still be going to the basic one or now. But it's nice to know that I had the invitation for that class. Now, if only ballet fitness would be in the evenings... To keep this random, I've decided to start video blogging. And it is planned to be pretty random so far. I have some general ideas and I don't know which direction to really take it right now. I was also given some ideas that I'll use. I just need to be able to do them.

I wish I had a house.

My CHL has arrived. It's official!

I'm making plans for summer. Things I want to do. I'm going to do couponing again. I took time off - I guess - during the work year because it got to be a hassle with everything else. So I'm going to stock up on things we need and save some money.

I really need to get my butt up in the mornings to jog. However, there was a shooting in my apartment complex earlier this week so I'm always leaning towards hesitant. I want to lose some weight so I can be comfortable in my own skin. If I could wake up one hour early, I'd have 30 mins for exercise, 20 minutes to clean up and some extra time to eat a decent breakfast and get ready. GAH! Thinking of stealing someone's motivation and setting alarms on my phone.

And I guess I just needed to get it out of my system. Adios.
