Always room for change...

As the semester draws to a close, I keep getting more and more excited about what I am going to do with my summer off. After enjoying time with my little guy of course :) I think I am going to tap back into my creative side... I've got quite a few good ideas I'm working on. And I cant wait! I got this awesome book the other day.. That gives many ideas for scrapbooking and journal ideas along with photo tips and design basics for photo crafts. So essentially it's going to be one crafty summer (since I don't have any other time during the school year.)
I also want to dust off my (amazing) camera more often and capture life around me..
I miss not having time for these things.. But I guess thats what happens when life is in full swing! I wouldn't have it any other way though!

Life of a procrastinator

So, apparently when I decided that it was a good idea to start a blog.. I failed to think that I would actually have to take the time to post things. Yet another thing that I have started and failed to maintain. I have decided that I miss the days when life moved slowly. Like when I was a kid, for example, I rememeber summer seeming to last forever, same with winter break (well back then it did last forever because we had over a month off). Now it just seems like the days are getting shorter and the amount of things I have to get done in those dwindling hours is getting more and more. I guess thats a down fall of getting old.. *sigh*
I saw a really awesome trailer for a movie the other day. It was called Waiting for "Superman". It's about the situation of our failing education system. Which is a serious issue, it seems udderly ridiculous to me that when budgets fall short, one of the first things that is suggested to get cut is education. Apparently the government doesn't realize that if they cut the budgets of schools that they are making a dangerous impact on our future generation. Why would we want to entrust our future, and the future of the 60-some percent of the population that are baby boomers, in the hands of idiots? Not only just idiots, self absorbed, budget cut-dollar menu educated idiots. It makes me sad to think that my kid or kids have to attempt to survive and learn something from the current education system, that is if they don't get bullied to the extent that school is one of the last things on their mind. What happened to the simple days? Isn't that one of the amazing promises are charismatic president offered us?? Where is it?!?

The Beginning...

Well... since I keep seeing those I know having blogs and I don't have much time anymore to actually sit and write. I thought this might be a cool, new (not that blogging is new by any stretch of the imagination, but new to me) way to just get ideas, thoughts, and various other things floating around in my head out. I'm not really sure if this will have necessarily a 'theme' like many other blogs I see, but who knows it might just have one after awhile. For now it will be just whatever I feel like that day... 
Well now that I have spent a good portion of an hour building this blog (which I am still not very satisfied with, but I guess I'll fix it later) I will leave you to ponder...
