So lately I have been up to random things- of course! I've made some new friends, been on some excellent trips but I've also had a lot of learning opportunities. Although there are things I hate about the internet there are many things to be grateful for too. For one- google reader. This is an awesome new feature that makes it really easy to keep track of all y'all. Instead of having to go to each blog & trying to remember your addresses- google reader allows me to automatically see if you've posted anything new! It's kind of like an email reminder. Very cool. And since this feature is so cool I decided to go blog searching. So now the second good thing about the internet...
Blogs! What an awesome resource! I have found so many photography & art blogs to teach me how to better form my craft- but I've also found some fashion blogs that I now frequent. Looking at these helps me with the newest fashions so I can still be hot for my husband! Especially because I HATE the newest fashions! These fashion blogs allow me to peruse fashions without spending hours wasting my time looking in stores for something that I would actually wear. I didn't like the 80s or the 90s for their AWFUL fashions so why would anyone bring them back? Although- I must admit, as mentioned in a previous blog, Evan made - yes MADE- me try on some skinny jeans. I thought I would hate them. My mom usd to wear these & Stacy & Clinton on "What Not to Wear" said they make you look like an icecream cone- although now I'm sure they're selling them by saying how fabulous they make you look. One down side to skinny jeans- you need to be skinny to wear them. I've seen to many girls out here that are 15+ lbs over weight & they should not be in skinnys. Not to offend anyone though because I think I can barely pass to wear them- it's time to go running & back on a diet- difficult to do when you're on a permanent vacation. Anyway- I digress- Blogs are awesome.
Something else I love- PLaylist.com. Here you can generate your own playlist with music from around the world! Freaking awesome! You don't have to buy music anymore because you're not stealing- you're streaming music off of the internet! It's like radio only no adds & you get to choose what you listen to and when. The only bad thing is that sometimes the songs are no longer posted on websites so you have to update it once in awhile. I think I've had to update mine like twice in the last year so it's no biggie.
Facebook is a love/hate relationship. Love it to keep up with your friends. Hate it because it's addicting. Enough said.
Travel deals! Evan and I are going to Puerto Rico thanks to the fabulous internet! We figured out it's only cost a couple of extra hundred (ok I know that sounds like a lot but for a week long beach vacation in the Carribbean it's not bad at all) bucks. I'm totally stoked! We leave Aug 8th & come home the 15th.
Anywho. There's my grateful list for the day as far as internet things go. I'm very excited to come home- see everyone - go camping/hiking & good old bbq's!
