Inspiration...

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 :)
