Okay, Okay. I'm here.

Hey everybody,

I swear I'm still alive. Honestly, I've been doing a lot of good stuff in my life - getting my homework done, going home when I can, the usual - but I haven't been keeping up with this. I've been thinking of multiple things I could do to keep this going. One great idea that I got from Carah Amelie (this video in particular: http://www.youtube.com/user/CarahsLife#p/u/8/xMI75Qg1tOY) was to write down one sentence of something you did day. I would vary it by going back and forth from a sentence a day post to full posts so you wouldn't only be reading one sentence every day, but that may get me back on track. I liked posting on here when I was in the swing of it, but I don't want to force myself to write things when I'm not interested. This one sentence a day thing may be a good way to not only get back in the swing, but compile a record of what I'm doing with my life! Maybe it will motivate me on those lazy days when I want to just lay down and watch t.v. - "No one wants to read that! Go do something!"

Okay, I think I might try that. See how it goes. I hope it doesn't bore you all.

Instead of summarizing a bunch of things that I have been doing these past few weeks, I thought I'd share some pictures with you! This weekend my mom and I made a trip to my grandma's house. Now that it's spring time her flowers were blooming, especially the irises and peonies. There weren't many irises, but there was an abundance of light pink and white peonies so my mom and I picked some to give to my grandma and some for me to take and put in my room at my  apartment.

They're beautiful:

And they're very fragrant, too! My room smells lovely :D

I don't know what it is about the stems, but I find them interesting to look at in the clear vase:

I guess I find nature in general fun to look at. Although I am more of an indoorsy than outdoorsy person, I find nature extremely fascinating. When I was in high school I used to go around and take millions of pictures of flowers. They have their own snowflake like quality - no two are exactly the same. It's beautiful and original. Something I feel we have trouble recreating in our modern society. "Everything's been said and done". Well, I think nature's still speaking.

I hope you all are having a wonderful summer. I unfortunately will not be spending it relaxing. I'll be taking beacoup de classes. Have a lovely day tomorrow - I hope it's sunny!
