Dear March
your a lonely month. Your plans to have an amazing year have been foiled. Your plans to be an amazing month full of fun surprises also has failed. In fact your heart will break and you'll feel cheated and be confused and wonder why you were fighting so hard in February for something that would end up out of your grasp either way. So March.... screw you. Ill keep on being me and if you don't like it then I feel sorry for you. I hope April or even when I turn 28 it will be better than 27. Hopefully April showers will not be coming from my eyes but from the amazing clouds above. Seriously though.... Heart broken.
Xo Gina.

New theme blog!
Ok so I started a blog about me and my roommate talking about our weight loss issues .... but I dont want to forget my own personal nonsense ranting and music suggestions! So If I could recommend reading my new blog called Not Lazy but Awesome. I hope you enjoy it!!
I think since that is my weight loss blog maybe i should start posting more of my music suggestions AND awesome crafts ideas here. Be prepared 2012.... Im back and with a bigger attitude!
Anyways Im sick as a dog thanks to whomever/whatever but it sucks. So Im off work for the day relaxing with extra time on my hands googling, blogging and watching old Grey's Anatomy episodes. Its not terrible but honestly Id rather be keeping myself busy at work and getting paid to do so.
Have I mentioned Im discovering a secret obsession with NPR? Its healthy Id say but still one of those things that I have discovered by accident attempting to find college indie radio stations on my trip from Philadelphia to Columbus Ohio. I found some sort of mock mountain stage. I loved it!!! It was at some farm which I wish I remembered the name so I could try to research it more and how to get there! Anyways NPR had a few informative shows on that seemed to intrigue me very much. ( they also happened to make me feel smart so I continued this trend for each visit).
Anyways I bring this up because I happened to hear about "Birdy" on one of these shows(that or XPN... credit where credits do.. unless you forget where it was!) She is about 15/16 years old with an incredible voice and seems to do covers of other incredible indie bands songs. She just released a new album it seems mostly on sale in the UK( self titled). Checked it out and try to get it when its here in the states. I am personally trying to make a purchase on I-tunes UK to get a copy because honestly.... an amazing spin put by a beautifully voiced young lady of all of my favorite songs, well, that is something I need asap! Here is a small example of her covering Bon Iver's Skinny Love. Thanks Birdy! Kudos for being awesome!

Craft-cember.
See what I did there? December + crafts = craftcember!
Since I clearly have an issue with typing my thoughts into an internet blog I've decided that starting the new year Im planning on throwing more focus into my blog.
First and foremost my loving boyfriend HAS requested that I change the name of my blog. I have no decided to do so just yet but we will see how things go. My main focus will stick onto music and crafting/diy ideas since that is 75% of my life currently.
I ended up making earrings for 12 ladies at my work. Some of them looked like this. Some of them involved mini christmas balls being turned into earrings. Happy Holidays in an earring! The Ladies did enjoy the earrings and we ended up getting together at Chiles for margaritas, chips and apps. A well needed night for everyone even with me crafting 24/7 for the holiday I got to slow down and enjoy the season(and tequila!).
Oh did you hear they make now and later candy canes? They are delicious and will turn your mouth colors!
Most of my focus aside from work has been on music. Have you heard Bon Iver is nominated for a Grammy? Now we all new Adele would be on that list but Bon Iver! Whether he wants to be nominated or not its a huge deal for what would be considered the " little guy" who is little by no means. He's an incredible musician who should be given more credit but sometimes its just the way life goes. Anyways (more) people are noticing the " little guy" and seeing their talent for what its worth. Kudos to you Bon Iver! 2012 grammy nominees. Your welcome.
Another new album on my list of to purchase is the new Ingrid Michaelson album. The song Ghost is being played on XPN right now and for this I thank them! Her music sometimes have an effect on me that I wish all music in the world did BUT that would make good music less special(if that happened. Please enjoy the video and song Ghost and thank me later. "You know you make me a ghost". Thanks Ingrid for being my pick this week with a voice that haunts and lingers in your head later singing the same distraught lyrics of your songs. Dramatic? Not barely.
Anyway enjoy and tell me how you appreciate it. Ill do a full review of her album after the holidays when I 1. have 30 minutes to myself and 2. I have $ to spend on myself.
Goodnight non-readers

Originally submitted at UncommonGoods
A lasting family keepsake to give to or complete with a grandchild, A Grandparent's Journal helps you tell the story of your life. Features prompts such as "Where I grew up," "Favorite Family Traditions," "What I did for fun," "My least favorite job," &qu...
GREAT GIFT
By ohhhgirl from phoenixville pa on 11/26/2011
Pros: Well Organized, Attractive Design
Cons: Small Size
Describe Yourself: Semi-pro Photographer
Was this a gift?: Yes
this is honestly a great gift to give any aspiring or current grand parent(s). The only thing that was a bit surprise to me was that its size was not as I had imagined. It had advised of the size before but I still had the idea in my mind that it was the size of a large photo album although it is not it still was impressive and a great gift idea!!!

a better version of me
so sometimes although you may think your amazing, awesome, confident and not cocky and essentially just all around a catch.. you have to step back and realize although you may change some things about your "awesome" self its really just making a BETTER version of yourself. Dont be dissapointed or down... be happy. With yourself and with your decision. Its called trying and if you are able to TRY and become a better you then I think your already one step above most.
soon ill come up with updates on my road BACK to Ohio. Until then deal with my rants.
