Looking Through The Lens: Pinterest

So I am trying this 30 lists thing. I found one online and I would love one day to make a scrapbook. It's not going to be a blog every day thing, just 30 lists.

To start things off... I am not good at

1. Thinking before I speak.
Sometimes I think I need to think before I speak, but as I found on Pinterest I like to be surprised as to what comes out of my mouth as the next person. Is this such a bad thing? I think not. :)

2. Keeping an exercise routine.
Don't we all have a hard time??

3. Saving money.
Not to brag or anything I feel as if I am the best one to save money in my family, but sometimes its just so hard!

4. Going with #2. Exercising in general.
I am very unmotivated to exercise. I just think of other things to do besides exercising. :P

Oh I am sure there are more, but here's my start. :)

If you sit down for a while with a pen and a piece of paper and think about how much you use technology, you'd probably not know where to begin. I sat down recently and wrote out my blog post because I wanted to see how long it was on paper and well it seemed like I was writing a lot, but when it came down to me typing it, it didn't take me that long at all. I have been thinking lately that I am way to addicted to technology, but so are most people.

Just some food for thought.

1. Oh do I want my dorm room to look like this. Not necessary those colors, but the way the furniture is arranged. I will have a single room this year so I am able to have the furniture any ole way.

2. I love love love, this picture! The reflection on the railroad track is amazing! Definitely going to try this shot with my sister this fall.

3. This saying is amazing. It makes me laugh.

4. This is what I do. If it is something that I cannot break I will most likely throw it on the ground if I get angry.

5. Every second is a good second to look at a picture of Luke Bryan.

6. I wish I could install one of these in my room. I am going to be look for one in the near future.

From this moment forward I am going to show my kindness to everyone that I meet. I want to change the way people see me. I do not want to be the one that no one takes seriously. I would like to have at least one person in this world to look up to me.

Here is where this is coming from...

For the record, I do not like being angry. When I get flustered/busy at work and people get in my way or bother me, is when I get angry and start yelling. I do not yell out of anger or hatred. When I am busy that is how I handle things. I know, its not the right way or the best way to handle things. It is just who I am. I am trying to change it, but changing things takes time. Especially when you are trying to change yourself. I am just having a very stressful time right now. I have a lot of stress on me right now. A lot of it comes from seeing what my parents are going through. My parents (pardon my french) get screwed over by a lot of people and it hurts me just as much as it hurts them.

I may be writing this out of hurt or anger, but when I started writing this post I was angry, but when I have come back to it I have made changes and trying to learn from this experience that I had. I believe in myself that I am learning from this, because I am trying to change myself. I am making it a goal of mine to be kind to everyone I meet because you never know what kind of battle they are going through. That phrase is so true. I can tell that not a lot of people live their life this way, because no one knows my battle. My wall that I am trying to climb over.

Here are a few Pinterest quotes that are inspiring me...

If you don't know by now I have given up on blogging every day in May. I was doing well for a while and then things fell apart and now I just stopped. Well, that's what happens when I have no motivation.

Since I've last talked with you all I haven't done much.. shocker! :P

Last Wednesday (5/15/13) my mom and I went to a food show in Marquette. Nothing to special,just all the vendors from Reinhart. I saw them all last year and this year nothing really popped. The only thing that I remember is the guy that told us his sales pitch about butter. This guy was amazing, even though my mom and I were not interested we stood there and listen to him. He talked about how many calories his butter had and then how much the competitor had. That's all I remember from his pitch, but bless his heart because he did it. He also gave us a bag of free dry butter! :)

At the food show so many vendors give out free samples. We came home with, dry butter, bun samples, grease cleaner, and table cleaner.

I am becoming addicting to Pinterest again. Here are some of my favorite pins recently

Other than that I have done a YouTube video about Restaurant Tips here is a link to that video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSNoBX_qGWY. I hope to make more videos this summer. We'll see what ideas come to my head! Until then you all have a nice day! :)

The first week of school was crazy!

Getting into the new routine.
I changed my room around

We all need to have change every once in a while and I was just sick of the way my room was. So I had to move every thing around. I am not sure if I like it or not, but it was change. Change is good... to a point.

March Madness

I have made plans for March! I am super excited! My sister and I are going to see The Tenderloins in Minneapolis! :) If you do not know who The Tenderloins are; then I wonder if you know who the Impractical Jokers are? Well they are the same people. I tomorrow I will buy the tickets and then all I have to do is wait. Yippee!!

Smoothie

I have been looking at food on Pinterest for a long time now and I finally got the motivation to make one. I made a smoothie. It had bananas, strawberry yogurt, milk and peanut butter. Yes it was really good, but the next time I make it I am going to leave the peanut butter out. :)

Here are a couple of my favorite pins from Pinterest.

I love this shirt! I might... just might.. when I get all of my finances in order I may have to order this shirt. :)
Yumm strawberry shortcake trifle. :) How delicious! Making this for a friend for their birthday?
A bride and groom picture. I think this is a sweet idea!
I love everything about this outfit. I will have to find each item, but I love it! :)
This bottles are really cool. I could see these on a coffee table or a center piece.
I really want to make this scarf sometime. I want to make a blanket of all my Ferris shirts and things, but I would love to do one of these as well.
I absolutely adore this dress. I don't know how I would look in it, but it super cute. If I could afford it I may buy it. But ya know finances. :S

I hope everyone has a great week. I didn't have school today, because of Martin Luther King Jr. day! Whoop whoop! :)

I know I know I haven't posted anything in a while. Blah! I know! I've just been so busy with school. I am so sorry. But staying with me I thank you all for that! :) Here are some things that are up on my pinterest. :) Super excited to show them all with you!

1. three cheap mirrors set up like a dressing room! How cool? I would love one of these.

2. Oh Mean Girls.

3. How cool. The caption on Pinterest says it's like time has stopped. :)

4. I am going to try this. I will have it posted in my dorm room once I get back there (weekend, visiting the family)

5.What a cool idea for friends or family! :)

6. Mmmm Patrick Dempsey.

7. hand-knitted bracelets.. I would like to try this one day. Maybe with one of my old shirts.

8. What a cool idea for a summer night or even a fall night. Take a truck stuff it with pillows and blankets and then cuddle in and star gaze.

9. Ahhh he is so delicious looking. :D

What has everyone been up too lately? I hope you all didn't loose faith in me. I am still here.

As I sit here on my parent's deck I can't help think about all the people I have met in the past 3 months. Who I wouldn't have met if I didn't start this blog. Where I wouldn't be if I never wanted to tell my story. So to all you readers, to all of you bloggers and just to every one I thank you and also I am so very happy to have met you here in this great community of bloggers!

I LOVE reading your stories of motherhood, the little things that make your day, the things that don't make your day and everyday life! You all inspire me to keep going. To keep doing what I am doing no matter what anyone says (and have they said a lot!)! So to each and every one of you I say thank you from the bottom of my heart and if I could each and every one of you would be hugged. (I just like to hug)

So with out further ado! My Pinterest Pickings of the week!

Most of my pins this week were wedding related items. I don't have a rhyme or reason for it, I just was interested in looking at all the ideas for a wedding.

So here are some of my favorite pins for the week!! :D

1. I like this style of seating. It's different! :D

4. Give this or to make this? either way AWESOME!

5. I love this saying.. definitely going to be in my dorm room!

6. I need to try this on my camera.. ASAP!

7. I love these neon colors and the neutrals! I must must try this sometime.. SOON.

8. I would love one of these or make something like this for your bridesmaids?

9. I remember family and friends not knowing what songs to play.. now you know you won't upset everyone (do they get upset?)

10. Cool huh? I want to someday travel.. but that cost money and time and until then It's on my list.

11. What an awesome outfit! I would love to wear this. It's so me.

12. Always looking at workout clothes and music and other things that go along with working out.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!! :D

How many times did you smile today?

It's a new week so its time for my Pinterest Pickings!! :D First I am going to tell you what I have done on my Pinterest list.
I completed the wall organizer.. or whatever you want to call it. You can find that here. :D
It was a lot of fun doing that project and I am thinking about doing it again.
I have a few projects going right now. I have my chalkboard wine glasses. I am interested in seeing how they turn out.
Here are some more projects that I may do and just some pins that I love.

1. PATRICK DEMPSEY! Oh how lovely is he? I just had to pin him.
2.Wedding Thank You notes. I know weddings cost an arm and a leg, BUT Pinterest has helped so many people take hundreds or more off of their bills for their wedding. These are so cute and touching too.
3.I love this outfit! It's so me. I just may have to go out and buy this for myself. :D
4. What a touching story. Here is where you can find the story.
5.I can't wait to try this out! I will be doing this on Monday so stay tuned for that post later. I would give these out to friends and keep some for myself. :D
6. I love this lighting here. I may just have to try this in my dorm room. Only thing is that I can concrete walls so nothing really sticks to it. Any Ideas?

Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend!!! :D
