Blogs

On Monday we talked about blogging in class. Somebody mentioned having a sort of "blogging war" with their sister, searching for things to do or take pictures of just so they could blog about it and look more interesting (or something along those lines). I always see really neat ideas for things to do on pinterest (a website visited by almost every female I see in my classes with a laptop (lol)), but I have absolutely no talent for interior decorating, so I usually don't make any crafts or anything. It's harder, too, when your apartment comes with drab colored furniture that you aren't allowed to remove, a drab colored carpet, and the same weird off-white yellowy walls that all Provo apartments seem to have. Everything is this weird, drab brown-to-yellow gradient spectrum, and I'm not sure how to really work with that.

I went outside my apartment today to watch the pool filling up (my life is so entertaining) because it's been filling up for the last three days with the equivalent of a tiny garden hose - it's become kind of a sentimental event. Anyway, what do I see on the ground to my right just outside of my neighbor's door? Some old fancy vintage lamps that were spray painted a really neat looking teal-blue color! C'mon now, totally saw that on pinterest. I saw them and went back inside trying to think of some sort of neat thing I could do to be crafty as well.

All I wound up doing was hanging up some of my clothes that were on the floor and browsing more of those Mormon mommy blogs. I did absolutely nothing crafty at all today (unless doing dishes counts) but reading those blogs at least made me feel like I had some sort of creative mind - even though none of the ideas were mine and I pretty much just sat on my butt the whole time. Lol.

there is no picture in this post. I'm sorry!

  1. I fail at all crafts, so I totally understand! :)

  2. This post made me laugh, because I used to be the same way. I used to have such a hard time figuring out how to make our house look cute, but it's getting better. Those blogs can be really depressing to see how creative some women can be with so little, and I definitely admire them. Don't get discouraged! I think stuff like that just comes with time.
