Operation Attempt to Organize

With the start of a new year comes all new things. New Goals. New Planners/Calendars. New journals. New Year. New Start.

I started the year with the mindset to get more organized. With our move, elevator install construction, followed by the holiday season I felt like things were everywhere and going in all directions.

I am a planner. A pen and paper kind of girl. I finally set down and watched a webinar I had paid for back in August (see things were crazy!) on making my own printables. I have found many different ones that I thought would make life a little easier but none that completely filled all my needs and wants.


After watching the webinar I started to make my first of I am sure many different printables that will help life get a little more organized and pulled together. I might eventually share some of those with you.


Another thing I did, after seeing my sister's new planner, I went out and bought my own Happy Planner at hobby lobby. I'm hoping to keep this planner going all year long. I tend to get new planners, fill them out well for a little while, then move on to the next one after not using a planner for a couple of months.  


 The happy planner also has stickers you can use to fill in the planner. In a way my planner is half way scrapbooked if that even makes sense. I am using the "to do" stickers and the "appointment" stickers but I am also adding my own twist to keep up with life.


One way is adding extra stickers along the way... Note the birthday stickers!


New printables, new planner, and hopefully a more organized pulled together year is in my future as I attempt to organize things around me to make sense of the craziness.

To Blog or Not to Blog...

I've gone round and round about blogging again or not and I couldn't decide for a while. I have several different blog sites I've used in the past for different things. I quit blogging for different reasons, some of which I'm trying to put behind me and other I'll just get over but in the mean time I will try this blog thing again. I have decided to use not only this blog but the other for different areas.

If you are looking for random rambling and a little life thrown into the mix you can find it here!

If you are looking for accessible adventures I will be blogging about them on the Adventures with Colin and Heather Blog. I will work on updating trips we have taken and the accessible parts of them not only from the the past but also for future trips.

If you are looking to work on goals you can check out Heather's 101 in 1001 days. My current list ends in March 2016 so I have LOTS of updating to do as well as starting on my new list!

If you are looking for craft ideas (or ways I have turned ideas into reality) you can turn to Crafting with Heather. I've started posting various projects I've completed and there are plenty more to share!

Lastly, if you are looking for tried and tested recipes you can find them on my family food blog in Clegg's Kitchen!

Remember, I haven't blogged in a while (only a few post in all of 2015 and mostly none since 2014) so I will have to get back into the swing of things! But we will get there, right!

Favorite Flavor of IceCream

 
This is actually a fairly easy one for me to answer... However, in my world there is ice cream and then there is soft serve frozen yogurt... And I have a favorite of each....
 
 
First... The yogurt... Yep.... The Country's Best Yogurt... TCBY's White Chocolate Mousse! And if you must know it requires a waffle cone and peanut butter chips!
 
 
Followed by my favorite flavor of ice cream... Cookies 'n Cream! And it must be Blue Bell!
 
 
And since this is my blog and I can answer the questions the way I want I will share my favorite ice cream treat...
 
 
Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwich!!! Yes, a little piece of Ice Cream Sandwich goodness!!!
 
 
Now, What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

5 Random Facts and Selfie Photo(s)

I had to look back for selfie photos of me... I take a lot of selfie photos with Colin but not many that are just of me.
 
April 2012 in Washington D.C.

I looked back through some of my pictures and found a few that I took of myself... And I promise at the end of the challenge I will take a selfie on the day of the post!

June 2013 in Alaska

Now for 5 random facts about myself...

May 2013
1. Most of you probably already know this... Because I think my only readers... If I have any are all people I know personally... But I am #2 child in a line of 7 kids... And yes, we all have the same mom and dad! All my siblings are my best friends and have helped shape me into who I am today!

June 2013 - With T-shirt Colin's brother bought me
 2. I was once in school to be a Physical Therapy Assistant... But I dropped out... And then I tried X-ray Tech for all of two seconds until I didn't get into the VERY small program.  It's all good though, I have since gone on to get my Bachelors in Business and I'm almost done with my Master's in Health Care Administration. So don't be afraid of changing majors! But I am forever thankful for my hardest classes ever of Human A&P 1 and 2 and my medical terminology classes because they have helped me tremendously over the last 10 years since I took them.
Sept 2012 & July 2013
3. On that same note, Colin's doctor thought I was a new PT or tech at his spinal cord injury rehab hospital when I was going through my training because I had such great form and medical knowledge.

August 2013 Chicago Bean
4. When I say I want some Mexican food it really means I want chips and salsa and queso dip! Yep, I usually fill up on those before I even get to the actual Mexican food.
June 2013 Canada
5. I can count on one hand the times that I have ever worn make up... I don't wear it at all. I won't even know where to start. I grew up being told I was beautiful so I didn't ever feel I needed it to feel beautiful... But I don't think there is anything wrong with those who wear makeup.

Outlet through blogging... and a challenge!

I am not the writer in the family at all. But I have found that putting my thoughts on paper is an outlet of sorts for me.

While I have my other blogs where I write about the adventures Colin and I have and my 101 things on 1001 days blog I still wanted to be able to have another place... A place for things that aren't adventures and aren't on the 101 list.

So I decided to bring this blog back to life... I thought I would do that through a blog challenge!

While most blog challenges have rules and regulations you need to follow I decided I would find a list of blog post suggestions I like, then blog through the list... I don't have to follow a certain order or a certain calendar/day requirement to post. This would allow me to write without putting the pressure of keeping up with current life or the constant feeling of being behind on blogging.

So here's the list...
-Self-Portrait and 5 random facts about yourself.
-Favorite Quote(s).
-What makes you happy?
-Best Childhood Memory.
-Favorite movies you never get sick of watching.
-Your last random act of kindness.
-What's your dream job?
-Biggest Pet Peeve.
-What's on your life list/bucket list?
-Daily Routine.
-Last book you read.
-Something that you miss.
-Do you have regret?
-What's on your iPod?
-List 10 things that make you awesome.
-What's your biggest accomplishment?
-Why and when did you start blogging?
-Where are you happiest?
-List 5 blogs you read on a regular basis and why?
-What do you collect?
-What's your biggest fear?
-What do you do when you're home all alone?
-Do you have a hobby?
-Describe your most embarrassing moment.
-Describe your location.
-What's your favorite food?
-List 3 online friends you've never met in real life but hope to soon.

Is there an app for that?

Do you ever have so many things running through your head you don't know what to do with all the information?

I think someone needs to make an app that allows you to hook your headphones up to your phone, stick the headphones in your ears, then put everything running through your mind down in writing.

That would be AWESOME!!!

My head/mind always seems to be racing with various information. And I think it does it's hardest running while I am trying to fall asleep or sleeping. It would be interesting to see everything that runs through my mind while I'm trying to sleep.

If blog posts, to do list, journal entries, thoughts, ideas, processes and so on could get down on paper as much as they run through my mind that would be so cool!

I think someone needs to make an app for that!
