Fresh Start

I created this blog becuase when I went to blog in my previous one I decided that it was too depressing to carry on. I used to blog quite regularly but for some reason got out of doing so. This is my attempt at getting back into it. My hope is to blog once or twice a week about whatever is going on in my little mind, or my boring life!

I'm not sure what to start with in this first "new blog" post. Maybe I will start with some of my favorite things.

 I am a mommy's girl through and through. In fact as I type this I am very down and out because my parents were here for the weekend and when they leave I get sad. I talk to my mom daily either through email, texts, or phone calls. Sometimes we talk mutlipe times a day and send several emails. She is my rock, and probably my best friend. I also have my dad wrapped arond my little finger. My little brother is amazing, and my sister is pretty great too (whether or not she always belives it is another story for another day). So, my family is probably my number one most favorite thing.

Reading books, I LOVE to read books. In fact, I should be reading right now instead of watching The Bachelor and typing this =) I do not discriminate against genres but I do not get into smutty romance novels!

Being outside. I love to be outside in the spring/summer/fall. I will go for walks/runs, I will go camping, I will sit outside in my lawn chair and read, I will sit outside in my lawn chair and drink, I love going to the pool and catching some rays. I just LOVE being outside when it's nice out.

Cleaning and organizing. I get this from my mother, who is always cleaning and organizing and getting rid of things. I regularly clean out all closests in my apartment, I'm always doing laundry, cleaning, getting rid of things in my cupboards and re organizing them. I just love to know where things are!! That and I'm afraid of becoming a hoarder :)

Sleeping. I love to sleep. The problem is, I have grown up, and I cannot sleep like I used to. I wake up at the crack of 6 AM no matter what day of the week it is, and I consider 8 AM "sleeping in". If I want to take a nap it lasts all of 15 minutes. So, although I can't sleep like I used to, I sure enjoy it!

Eating. I do love food. Which is why I have a hard time "dieting". I love all kinds of food. The way I eat I should weigh a good 250.

Exercising. Because I love food so much, I exercise. If I didn't, I would weigh the 250 I mentioned. I enjoy going to the gym and also enjoy excercising at home, outside, and by playing organized sports (I play co-ed city league volleyball and women's softball). I don't just excercise because I like to eat, I actually enjoy it. Someday I want to run a 5k, and I think I am starting to get on the right track  for the training to do so.

There are many other things I enjoy, but those are the main few. Maybe I will write another blog sometime with my "Top 100 things you should knwo about me". I do have some quirky traits and odd "favorites"

But for now, I will conclude my first "new" blog post. Thanks for reading, come again!
