Hello lovelies!
It's been a while since I last posted. I have to admit that I lost the blogging bug for a moment. I seem to waffle back and forth over what I want this blog to be. Is it a makeup blog? A lifestyle blog? Funny? Serious? I don't know really.... and I guess I shouldn't stress over it too much. Sometimes I just loose interest in things and need to step away from them for a bit.
I also found myself reverting into my own head and thoughts and shutting out the outside world for a few weeks. I tend to do this from time to time. It's probably not the best way to handle my introspection as I also shut out a lot of my friends. I'm sure a lot has to do with the changing of the seasons too. As we move closer to Samhain and to the Winter time I think it's natural to turn inwards a bit.
I've had some stumbles in life that set me back. I landed a job I was pretty excited about only to have them renig on their offer of employment at the last minute. It was even more upsetting because I had turned down another job at the Lancome counter in order to take it. So basically I missed out on two jobs in a matter of weeks. On the flip-side I FINALLY heard from the University and I have been accepted into the Masters Degree program in History. So in hindsight it's probably best that I'm not starting a new job at the moment. School starts in January so that will hopefully give me enough time to figure out financial aid and childcare as there's no way I can go back to school without those two things in place.
I've started volunteering at the local history museum as a docent/tour guide. As of now I'm still in training but it's great experience and I'm meeting a lot of people in the history community here.
My parents came up from Texas to visit for a week. That was fun as it allows me an excuse to be a tourist in my own town, although I feel like a tourist here anyway since I've only been living here for a year. Luckily the weather was gorgeous and the leaves are turning so we were able to do a lot of outdoorsy fall things.
Next Sunday is my 34th birthday and my mother brought me a day of the dead wine opener.
We visited some amazing city buildings that had ceilings like this:

We went places with trees like this:
And history like this:

I will leave you with one of my favorite songs. Perfectly fitting for this time of year.
I actually posted this last year at about the same time of year. I am approaching my blog-aversary. What to do... what to do... hmmmmmmm.....
XOXO
Cheers
You sure get so see so many beautiful things.
ReplyDeleteI love the trees in particular. Maple has the nices color transitions to me.
I agree. The trees were just gorgeous. I'm bummed that frankenstorm is probably going to knock them all off prematurely.
DeleteSometimes we all just need to step away and reprioritize. It sounds like maybe your bad job luck is for a good reason... Stay positive!
ReplyDeleteThanks <3
DeleteMaybe it could be a Makeup slash Lifestyle slash Funny slash Serious blog? Whatever you choose to write about, I will read.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, Scorpio's October horoscope does mention that we'll be going through an introspective period mid-month, so we can sort out various options and decide what should come next ... but that the sky is the limit as long as we're willing to work hard! So I, for one, am very optimistic about our next few years!! :o)
Hmmm... I like the sound of that horoscope.
DeleteYay, glad you're back, and congrats for getting into your course!!
ReplyDeleteJust make it a 'you' blog ... far less pressure ;) *hugs*
Thank you <3
DeleteGreat post and great photos, good time.
ReplyDeleteyes it was :)
Deleteyeah, I'm kind the same.. but good to have you back!!
ReplyDeleteand good luck with starting a new study! I'm finishing mine next year and can't wait to do other ones (but not to long as college)

thank you and congratulations to you too!
DeleteCongratulations on getting onto your course, maybe the job incidents where meant to happen that way so you could set onto your right path. I'm sure it will all work out great in the end.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous, I've never seen a real pumpkin patch. Have you got anymore photo's of it. I'm all giddy over it =)
Thank you.
DeleteI don't have any other pictures of the patch unfortunately. I had actually never seen one either! I wish I could have seen it earlier in the season before everyone had gone and picked their pumpkins out of it.
Congratulations on grad school!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting into grad school! I suppose everything happens for a reason, now you will be too busy with school for the other jobs anyway. Hopefully everything turns out well with childcare and everything falls into place.
ReplyDeleteAh, Covenant. I adore Covenant!!!!
