I’m very excited to share with you all that I am now part of the management team at 20 Something Bloggers (20SB), as part of their Community Team. If you’re not a member of their site yet, I highly recommend joining. Their community is so fun and welcoming and I’ve met so many fun and interesting bloggers through the site!
I’m sure you’ve noticed the whole “celebrity doppelgänger”-meme that is going around on Facebook by now. I thought I’d share mine here, for the heck of it…
Me (with slightly shorter and un-flat ironed hair)
Jennifer Grey (circa “Dirty Dancing” and pre-rhinoplasty).
Lastly… have I mentioned how much I still am loving my iPhone? No? Well let me reiterate: I LOVE IT.
YES, I did it again. Thursday morning I jumped on a plane to Erie. Thankfully I got out of Nashville right before a big storm and into Erie in between the major snowfall. Talk about luck!
The downside: I spent my whole trip miserable with a sinus infection/tonsillitis, taking giant horse-pills (some kick-butt antibiotics and Mucinex DM). Needless to say, that prevented me from visiting with my grandmother (who has emphysema and can’t risk that kind of illness). I was very disappointed about that.
I did get to visit other friends and family though. Ate at a few of my favorite restaurants.
I gave in and got my iPhone. I can’t believe I didn’t do it sooner.
I love this thing.
I have barely put it down since I got it. Can’t believe I didn’t give in and get one sooner. I haven’t had any problems so far with the service in Erie, Nashville, or on the drive in between. I’ve been busy tweeting, FourSquare-ing, and Gowalla-ing from my phone. (‘Cause I’m a geek like that.) If you’re on either/any of those sites, connect with me.
This week my mother is staying with me (actually for a week or two, not sure yet…) to work on cleaning and organizing the house so that we can put it up for sale.
I’m telling myself that it is time to downsize immensely. I really long to have simplicity in my life, but I’m a major failure at that. There’s a huge part of me that wants to just go through my stuff like a whirlwind and throw out about 80-90% of it. One area I’m planning on paring down hugely is my arts and crafts supplies. Any more, I mostly just knit; I haven’t done much sewing, painting, scrapbooking, etc. in a long, long time. I’m thinking I can give away/donate/throw out almost everything from that genre of stuff. I’m also getting rid of my aquarium (my friend Cyndi said she’d take it) and some other stuff like that.
I’m just hoping I can keep that attitude and momentum and not get sucked in my sentimental stuff. I need the Clean House gang to come kick my ass–where the heck is Niecy Nash when you need her!?
