Hey everyone! Today's topic is the world's current obsession with plaid. Plaid is taking the world by storm. Its everywhere from on the runway to in your bedroom. Personally, I loved the plaid craze at first. Then it slowly took over. It's fashionable and practical but overdone. It gets annoying when young girls are wearing truck driver-like plaid flannel shirts. They end up looking like large dresses.
Are you looking for a plaid alternative? Why not try paisley :)












What do you think about plaid?

Nothing going on today

Have you ever had one of those days where your busy yet nothing gets done? Its was slow going for me today. Kind of blah. Instead of writing an elaborate post today I am going to encourage you to look at the blogs I'm following right now. They have some amazing and compelling content. I'm so behind in blog reading! Want to promote someone else's fantasic blog? Post it here!

Come back tommorow to hear my thoughts on popular products that I believe are useless :)

Thanks for reading!

Today's goals

Its been a few weeks since I started this blog and I would love some feedback! I'm open to all requests and suggestions.



Today's post is about goals. Long term, short term it doesn't matter. All that matters is that you get your idea out there. I find that writing something down makes it more meaningful for me. I have a list of goals that I'm working towards meeting.

Short Term
Survive first month of Sophomore year.
Clean out my bookshelf(I still have old Amelia Bedilia books!)
Focus my blog a bit more.(Right now its sort of general.)
Find new members for a club I love
Master a ludicrously difficult piece on the piano.

Long Term
Get into a respectable college
Find a cause I really enjoy helping in the "real world" , not school and do it!
Learn how to knit and sew properly.(I've been doing it wrong for years. Losing stitches, making a knotted mess etc.)


What are your goals?

The ipod game!

Anyone here want to play an ipod game?
First post your favorite song right now or of all time. If you can't think of one take the most played from your ipod.
Then listen to the song listed in the comment above yours :)
You can go more than once.

I'll start!

Negative into Positive

I hate to see people beating themselves up over something. Most of the time its unnecessary. I believe there is something good in everything, every cloud has its sliver lining, *insert cliche here*. A lot of bad things are just good things in disguise. A failure at one thing can lead to success at another, or at least an opportunity to learn from your mistakes. It can also inspire you to work harder toward your goals. My dance studio used to have a quote on the wall. It was some thing along the lines of "Practice won't make you perfect... but it will make you close."It works with your personality too. My best and worst quality is being stubborn. My point here is to not take every setback or mistake so seriously. It will save everyone a lot of stress in the end. That's your daily dose of reality. Thanks for reading!

You mean there are two?!?!

Where I live there are so many similar stores right next to each other! There are 3 Mexican places in the same area. A phone store is on every corner. We don't have any shoe stores besides the ones in the mall or in other stores. When I went to Lake George last summer there were about 5 mini golf courses, 2 haunted houses and a gazillion ice cream stores(more or less) How can these places thrive with all of the competition nearby? I know that those haunted houses in Lake George give you a deal. If you go to both places you get a discount. The others don't seem to do as well. I would love to know if the people who make these decisions didn't research well enough, don't care they won't make a suitable profit, or just don't have common sense. Aren't there laws against this too many of the same thing in one area? If your buying a space for your business check it out and preferably before you buy it ;)

How many of the stores in your area are too similar?

"Witch Hunts" of Society

Has anyone noticed that when someone is accused of something they have a hard time getting out of the situation. For example, a while ago I was accused of cheating on an elementry school spelling test.(I actually just dropped a bracelet or something. It was one of those snap bracelets and I went to retrieve it lol.) The teacher kept saying your in trouble if you don't admit it. I would be in trouble if I admited it as well. Keep in mind that a person should be innocent until proven gulity. That's your daily dose of reality. Thanks for reading!


Have you ever had a situation like this?
