It is a must to spend some time in the libary to survive the frozen tundra!
I have recently started school again. It's kind of interesting. I know how the whole school thing goes, but you still have to get use to it again. One thing that I have come to realize the first full week of school is I can't just go home right after class. I need to go to the liabry. AND if I must go home then I CAN NOT HANG OUT!!! OR FACEBOOK! OR HULU! Well I think you can tell I haven't got very much homework done this week. That is all going to change!!!
As for my first two tips:
#1 Enjoy you weeks as much as your weekends... I have not told myself in a long time "I just want it to be the weekend" so that's a good sign.
#2 Goals... yeah kind of not going so well. SO I have made so new goals and mainly thats to do my homework. I'll let you know
Day 20- A picture of somewhere you'd love to travel.
ITALY!! ITALY!!! ITALY!!!!
I think we have already went over this, but just to refresh your memory.
I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Italy!!! It just seems so pretty!! And so much History!!! And I really like pasta!!
So another long awaited blog post, because once again it's been a while. I have a good reason though. I moved, I started school, and did I say I moved. Well moving is a big deal for me. I have a lot of stuff. It takes a while...Good news is I'm moved in. I have great roomies (pictures will follow). AND I started school. Let me tell you here in the frozen tundra they make you work for your degree.
Alysa and Ariel
We were hiding from Annelise
Megan and Makayla I'm not sure what they are doing...
Annelise We Love Olive Garden
So our first night all together we went to Olive Garden in Idaho Falls. It was A LOT of fun!! We pigged out on bread sticks. Broke a few laws. Mainly me sitting in the back with out a seat and so no seat belt. Went to the mall. And Laughed. Laughed A LOT!! GOOD TIMES!!
I have missed a few Tips and Technique Tuesdays, but hopefully I will get my bearing with school and start posting my great tips and techniques.
Day 19- A Picture of You When You Were Little
Man I was cute!
This is right after my sister and I deiced to cut each others hair. Doesn't it look great! She did a good job!
No what anyone says overalls are always in fashion.
Ok look closely... No front teeth and my ear rings have fruit on them. Ohh and a turtle neck... and if you saw the belt you would see an awesome heart belt buckle. Man I was so Fashionable!
And our Tip for this week... well I had a tip but I think this one is way better. For anyone who knows me they know that I have a problem.
I am always making goals.
Some might say I have an obsession. I blame that on a year and a half of doing nothing but making goals.
Not a bad thing I know.
So My tip this week is make goals.
I find myself alwaysmaking goals here in the frozen tundra. I don't know if that's because I don't have anything else to do or because I'm trying to some what start over. Of course I have a few goals for this week.
I'm moving into a new apartment, so I need to pack and UN-pack.
I'm also trying to be a lot more productive with my time. I'm trying not to just sit on the couch and watch TV.
I'm sewing again. I'm trying to finish my quilt before I move.
I will give an update next week. Speaking of updates my tip from last week. Love my week not only my weekends.
It went GREAT!!
I didn't think once man I just can't wait for this weekend. I was excited for every new day to come, and what was in store for me that day. I got up earlier and was a lot more happy.
GREAT TIP!!
Let me know if you tried my tip and if it helped at all.
Day 18- A picture of your biggest insecurity
Like most women my biggest insecurity is my weight. That's enough said.
Day 17 A picture of something that has made a huge impact on you life recently.
Well to say the least moving has made a huge impact on my life recently. Maybe today is just one of those days, but I just miss everything.
I miss my family.
I miss my friends.
I miss Washington.
I miss Utah.
I miss.
The frozen tundra is great and all, but I love where I came from, and I love the people that are there.
I also wanted to give you an update on my tip. I haven't thought once this week man I can't wait for the weekend. That is great right? Well it's only Wednesday. I'm also thinking of some great things for my next tip.
Lastly not only are we going to have Jamie's Tips, but every Tuesday will be Technique Tuesday. There are a lot of things that I want to learn in life. So I'm going to make a list and figure it out. Then I will tell YOU how to do it too. If you want to learn a technique let me know and I'll totally figure it out. ooo this will be fun.
Ok so I have done a little bit of a re design. AND I LIKE IT!!!It took me a while but I now know the inter workings of my blog, and she is beautiful.
Have you ever felt like your just living for the weekend?
Well it seems like have I caught that sickness. What is so wrong with the week? It is the bulk of our lives, and I know I'm not the only who just wants the weekend to come. Sure a lot great stuff happens on the weekend.
Examples sleeping in, do nothing all day, church, travel, not driving 45 minutes one way, grocery shopping, hanging out, etc.
SO idea...
How can we make our weeks more like our weekends? Well the reason why I like my weekends is because i get out of my everyday routine and get into my every weekend routine which i don't do that often. WELL what if I do somethings that I enjoy doing on the weekends during the week? For example I love grocery shopping. I know weird well I think its because I like shopping, but never the less why don't I shop on like Tuesday? OR have a game night on Thursday. OR Have people over for dinner on Wednesday?ALSO choose a time to get up everyday so then you never sleep in, and you get more out of your day. I don't know why this bothers me so much. I know that there are people out there who don't have this problem because they are already doing this.
But right now my life is get up go to work get home from work and sit there.
That's life in the frozen tundra.
My goal is to change how I look at my week, and be excited for the week.
Maybe I'll make this a weekly event and call it Jamie's Tips. Everyone needs to know how to survive the frozen tundra, so I'll tell you my tips and what I've learned.
Jamie's Tip #1
Be excited for your week not just you weekends.
I must not forget
Day 16 A picture of someone who inspires you.
This is the pioneer woman. And she is amazing. I think she is very much experienced what I want to experience. She has done the whole big city and cooperate job, and now she lives in the middle of no where and raises her four kids. I very much love where I came from, maybe not the city its self but the life style. I look back and now know that i wouldn't not be the type of person that i am if i didn't grow up on a farm. I learned a lot from the farm. But I went to the big city and LOVED IT!! I think about it everyday. How I want to be surrounded by people and malls and IHOP... but I'm not. I have to drive 45 minutes to get to IHOP. The pioneer woman has some how combined her two worlds and makes this amazing life that some how some way I want. I want the big city but with country feel. She is an amazing cook, she home schools her children (not that I would want to do that but props to her), she blogs, she is a photographer. She inspires me to do better in everything that I do. I do have one more inspiring person ... I think she says it best. If she can go through life and have the perspective that she dose then why can't I. One of my many goals in life is to be like these woman.
