Decisions, decisions...

So, I'm going to soon go to just two personal blogs. One will be Jason and I's blog and the other will remain Chex in the City (the wordpress one). I'm getting rid of my trivia blog (that no one reads) and my manifest destiny blog (that i don't keep up with). I'm keeping my movie blog and soon inviting others to write in it (the person I started it with doesn't keep up and I'd love more movie watchers to help me keep it going). I will also continue to write in 'skinny jeans', because why not.

I do need to make some decisions about my new blog (which will premiere sometime this summer).

1. Wordpress or Blogger? I have accounts on both and like both...so which one?

2. What shall I call Jason and I's blog?

3. Who will make me a sweet thing-at-the-top-of-the-blog?


That's really all. Advice, ideas, and suggestions please!

I'm peachy.

Pretty Awesome Day.

Today, two great things happened to me.

1. I finished my assistantship. That means I'm done working for Penn State and I have one class and a thesis standing in my way of a Master's degree. I'm ready to move on to bigger and better things.

2. I bought my wedding dress today! I did not expect to find the dress on this trip, and even if I did, I had one I really liked at David's Bridal. However, there was something about this dress that was just perfect. Even in pictures, I'm not totally sure what made me love it, but when I had it on and looked at it in the mirror, I knew it was the one. I never would have guessed that my dress would look like this either. Crazy.

I'm peachy.

Ch-ch-ch-changes.

Note the nice little changes on the side of my blog.

I can now see who has updated and when, instead of visiting people's blogs for no reason.

The second set is of blogs that I look at almost everyday.

The third is blogs that deal with my old interest of crafting and my new interest of (gasp!) cooking.

I'm peachy.

Decisions, decisions....

I love to blog. I think we all know this.

However, I think once I get married, I'm going to stop blogging in this specific blog. Leave my old boyfriends, petty grievances, and single life behind. I might get the whole thing printed and bind it together. That could be nice. I'll still continue my trivia blog, my movie blog, my fitness blog, and my wordpress blog (which is quality, when I write in it), but this one needs to be laid to rest after March 6, 2010.

I'm going dress shopping tomorrow, which is a lot of fun. David's Bridal (which is where I've already looked) is having it's almost-daily dress sale this month, so I'm sure I'll be over there soon. Wedding planning is going to get kicked into high gear, as mom and I want most of it planned by the time I move to Philly in August. Speaking of which, I have been applying for THE MOST ridiculous jobs, just because there isn't a whole lot out there for me. The humanities jobs are not plentiful.

I'm so ready to move back to Philly. I'm ready to go to bars with the old hats and have time to have those meaningful friendships back in my life, as well as spending a lot more time with my fiance. This whole long-distance thing is no fun, and we are both ready for it to be over. Now. I want seeing my friends to be less like a reunion everytime and more like actual friendships. I was thinking recently about my college friends, the various ones that I've had over the years, and the ones that I want to keep, I really miss everyday, especially the ones that have been more difficult to maintain because of distance. I think Amy is the best example. We were very close for the time we were at school, and I got to spend quality time with her last year too. However, this year I've seen her only a few times and we never get the chance to have "sistah" time anymore. Lamesauce. That's going to change next year...seriously.

That's all. My last project for the semester gets turned in tomorrow, my sister is home, and I anticipate the next week or so to be very productive before I start my LAST class of graduate school (perhaps ever). Yay!

Final thought: I'm going to get crafty soon. More so than now. Nancy can sew and stuff and I want to get good at quilting and other assorted practical crafts. :)

I'm peachy!
