I've got some big plans..but they have to wait for a bit to come to fruition.

I'm back, kinda, and I have loads of ideas to share and write about for you guys. I'm excited to share them but it's going to have to wait until next week I think. This weekend is the one year anniversary of my dad's passing so I'm going to use this long weekend to reflect on the good times with him and my brother and everyone else that was around for his last weeks. So bear with me guys! I love you all more then you know (you know in a non creepy way).

So here's a list of things for you to look forward to...

• A picture tour of Kansas City in two parts, art, architecture, and general randomness. 
• A memorial post about my dad (maybe) I don't know about this one yet. 
• A collection of my favorite posts by some of my favorite bloggers. I may make this a reoccuring thing too. So ya know, no pressure guys :P
• Why Girls Are Weird book review. I'm 40 pages in and I already love it and wish that I had wrote it myself. 

Don't You Forget About Me-Simple Minds

See everyone soon! Have a great weekend.

40 Days and 40 Nights of NO Facebook

        



I did what most can't in this day and age, at least no one that I know on a personal level can. Well I have one friend that is hardly on it anyways,but I digress.  I gave up one of world's biggest time sucks for Lent-Facebook. I actually think that I have become a little better of a person because of the hiatus, even as I write this I'm not even on it. I got back on for about 4 minutes and I don't have much of a desire to get back on it, at least right now. The addiction may slowly kick back in but for now I'm going to enjoy the release of the death grip that it holds on people.

During my absence on Facebook I have managed to;

-improve my blogging, little by little, hello new and old followers! You guys are the coolest :)

-I have avoided any and ALL of the drama and Facebook that may have been going on in my social circles, a drama free life is a good life in my opinion.

-I have also finished a book that I have been trying to finish for awhile, work and life got in the way. It was great and something that I kind of needed. I also bought myself two books for Easter- Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin (chick lit is a guilty pleasure of mine) and The Help by Kathryn Stockett which is also being made into a movie like SB and Emma Stone is going to be in it!

-My dating life has also been um, active? Though I don't think that taking myself out to eat and seeing movies really counts and going on ONE actual date with a guy counts as having a dating life. But it's whatever.

-I have started the college application process and things are going slightly well, except like the getting in part. Which I'm working on and praying that the process goes smoother than it started.

So the nerves they are a fraying. But everything will be okay, I usually get what I want if I put my mind to it and want it badly enough and this is something that I want BAD!

So I want to know, what did you give up for Lent if anything? How did it go?
