I haven't updated my blog in a long time, mainly because I haven't been too motivated to do anything that resembles work while I'm at home.

| Ahhh... the great outdoors |
When I was a kid, there was always something to look forward to- summer vacation, birthdays, Christmas morning, dance recitals, but now as an adult, there's not much excitement in my life. (Sad to say). Nowadays, I get excited when I can plan a trip somewhere, however, I'm totally broke and can't really go anywhere. Even if I would go somewhere, I would want my long distance love to come with me, and since that's not happening anythime soon, I'm bummed.

| The family cabin on Blackberry Lane, Roxbury, NY |
There is one glimmer of hope in the near future- a trip up to my family's cabin in October. This is a "yay!" moment for many reasons... 5 days of quiet, technology-free time away from the tv biz, hanging out with my parents (which I do enjoy), getting to enjoy autumn in the Catskill mountains of my glorious home state of New York.
Plus, I've already started a rather large project for myself on my trip to the mountains (seems a little anti-vacation, but hear me out :) When my family built our chalet, it was the mid-1980's. I have a small, but cute bedroom there, and it's full of my childhood, including my white formerly sticker-covered furniture, and it's in dire need of a makeover! Now, I'm not going to get rid of anything major, but the seafoam green comforter and peach cafe curtains HAVE TO GO!!! Even if I have to do all the shopping at the local Wal-Mart... it's going to get done. A fresh coat paint for the walls, new table lamp, maybe a bed in a bag, it's going to be fun! I love decorating. And why should I stop at my bedroom? I think the bathroom's going to need a facelift as well :)
