Blogging 101: This Might Be Just What I Need!

So it’s Thursday and not just any Thursday because for me, Thursday’s are what most people consider Friday's! It’s my last day of work for the week and then I'm off to a 3 day weekend, this is probably about the only thing I can say I really like about my job, having a flex schedule!! This morning my friend Tameka asked me what I was going to do for the next 3 days and to be honest I hadn’t really thought about it. I have a group project in my Criminally class which I’m sad to report that I haven’t even started yet, though I still have a few days so I’ll be fine!

But back to what I’m doing this weekend… After she asked me that, it got my lil ole brain to thinking and the one thing I really want to do is revamp my blogs and website. I have done some research today on how to update your blogs look and feel and now I plan to put these new skills to the test!

I think I want to add a bit more of a "real feel" to the blog, like possibly add my actually photo instead of Audrey Hepburn, then maybe lighten up the colors and the text and get rid of those unused and unneeded links just taking up space in the side.

I also want to get my focus back and write more. I was looking though my blog and started wonder, have I lost my voice, am I now just writing just to be writing? When I started this, I Lived, Breathed and Ate blogging all day, 24/7 -365, now I’m lucky if I get 3 posts up a week! And my website is suffering too, I have not written anything on fashion in over a week, not to mention I haven’t updated any of the other tabs!

So I think this weekend is going to be all about finding my voice, updating my blog, oh… and getting some school work done!

Happy blogging all and hopefully, next time you stop by my blog will look a little different! Feel free to leave suggestions about how to update my blog/website!!

It's All About The Passion Baby...

So today I was sorta remind in a subtle way that to keep readers interested, I need to update my site on a regular basis so here I am updating you on my life!

So what’s new? Well... If I had to give this past week a theme it would be a theme of "Completing and Finishing" things. As mentioned in a previous post, I took a Microsoft Office Specialist training class and pass that exam! My certificate arrived in the mail last weekend and I have it posted in our homeoffice. Go me, go me!! Whoop, whoop.. (my victory song). 

Secondly, I completed my Weight Watchers meetings as of today, 16 meetings under my belt and 23 pounds lighter. It was 25 but I think I gained a bit of water weight this week.No worries, I'll drop it like a bad friend in no time!

Also last week was my final CASA training class and I am now officially a "Court Appointed Special Advocate" for children and teens in the foster care system. I think I may be assigned to case involving human trafficking. I think I can make a difference in someone’s life no matter who it is. I really don’t care about the circumstances surrounding them I just really want to help. So I'll get my case in about 2 weeks.

I have one more week of classes for this session and then it’s on to the next. I can’t wait until graduation, yeah, yeah I know, I still have about a year to go but honestly that year will fly by, they always do! Then it's cap and gown, here I come!! I think I'll be the happiest Grad crossing the stage!

Also I found this really great position at my current company and am hoping to be able to apply. I’ll meet with the hiring manager later this week to chat about what the job is all about, I’m just really ready to make a move out of my current department and all the drama that has been brewing over the past 2-3 years! I'm a very drama-free person and don't like to be in the middle and really that's all that has been happening.. I'm so over all of it!  (I’ll keep you posted on the job).

So what else is new, oh I made these super yummy samosa’s for dinner and they were pretty low fat as well and only took about 15 minutes to make.  I’ll post the recipe under the Chew On This tab so go check it out!

So there you have it, a lil update on my life! Don’t forget to check out the recipe here.
