I am Star Stuck... and you can be to!!

I had the most amazing/crazy experience tonight. I have always been a big fan of Chris Heimerdinger and his novels, mainly the Tennis Shoes series. Anyways I have been following his blog http://frostcave.blogspot.com/ for the past few months but he is doing an amazing sale on a lot of products from all different authors and he has them listed on Amazon and eBay, but he prefers to sell directly to you so he put his cell phone number up for you to call. I thought that maybe it was a scam and I hesitantly called and... I really talked to Chris Heimerdinger. It was crazy and amazing and his is so genuine and nice. He gave me some great discounts and it is worth taking a look at. Head over to his site http://frostcave.blogspot.com/ and have fun shopping!!

Apartment Reveal

I almost forgot to post these! I know how dare I especially since some of you have been waiting with bated breath. Take a good, restful deep breath and enjoy my boudoir.

The icing on the cake for me... My fantastic new bed spread!
 The Mary Kay corner.
 The big bay windows, now there is a portable closet so its a bit more cramped then it was.
 The fireplace, or realistically my giant TV. Man I love that thing!
There you have the converted living room into my bedroom. I just love my apartment!

Fallen in love...

I have fallen in love... with a wedding idea. A blog I love to read did a post on Mormon weddings and how they aren't so exciting, but this couple Derek and Rebecca had the most fantastic wedding I have ever heard of. It makes me wish I was their best friend and was there! But on second thought maybe I can steal the idea for myself (devilish laughter). Be sure to follow the link to check out the slide show of them on MarthaStewart.com, yes it truly was that awesome that it made it on Martha Stewart.

What if...

I have been really excited to become single again. I have become a bit thought obsessed with dating actually. And since I am still technical married I haven't really been thinking about the realities of dating again. Write Stuff a blog I love reading had this line in today's post 'Guys in the late-20's range were either total players or divorced and battle-scarred.' That got me thinking/worried what if I become that person! Either player or battle-scarred. I hadn't thought through that possibility, or the possibility that I would be single for a few years to come. I just imagined Mr. Right would manifest in like three to six months and in a little over a year I would be married again (second time around I want to be married in June). What if I doesn't happen? What if my plan comes to naught (love this word). 

The one line from a blog post, well really the entire post, has got me reevaluating a lot of my life goals and wondering if my academic/career goals are really what I want. What am I going to do with my life?! The possibilities are endless and I feel 18 again, super excited for every option but not really willing to nail one down. I am all over the place with pretty much everything in my life but for now I have a few concrete things, a divorce, that need to happen before I can really start exploring.
