Just another lame blog attempt

As 2010 began I stopped my beauty blogging and YouTube videos and focused more on... well, whatever else I had going on. But the dork that's buried deep inside me (and makes itself available more often than not) sorta started to miss it. Hence, I am back and better than ever. w00t. My super-old digital camera has finally seen its last days, and I've buried it with love. Once I can afford a new one, I'm thinking of coming back to YouTube. I've got 250+ subscribers and over 16K views collectively, which apparently happened during my hiatus. So we'll see.

It's the end of March, and still the beginning of the year. Many things have changed since last year, but I'm doing my best to look forward. April will be a busy month. It all starts with this Friday - heading back to New York for a visit. The weather should be much nicer than I had during my last visit (February 26th, the "snow apocalypse"). In fact it may even reach the 60's, which means I can finally get some use out of a cute dress I bought on impulse a while ago.

The following week my ladies will be coming down to Florida! I'll meet them in Miami at some 4 1/2 star luxury resort (clearly the workings of Dawn A.) and have an amazing and much needed girls weekend.

April 22nd my parents will be here. They're driving from Texas. Gonna see me for a few days, pick up a cruise from Ft. Laudy, come back and drive to Central Floridaguam to see my uncle, then come back and see me again for a few days in May. Oh, the life of retirees.

So, that just about sums up the next few weeks. How about some ins & outs?

IN:
Concerts. So I spent last Tuesday watching Alkaline Trio. I made sure to get on the floor right after Cursive and ended up with 2nd row in the mosh pit - awesome! Considering the series of stupid events that transpired that night, I had an ok time. Although I'm not so sure I'd want to see another show in South Florida unless it's for a band I really, really, REALLY need to see.

Makeup. Yup, I'm back into it again. I know I stopped my YouTube videos and spending sprees, but guess what? I'm using up what I've got, and loving it. And there's no way I'll hit pan on anything anytime soon! No more buying, just using up the hoards of stuff taking up half my room.

New computers. My parents were kind enough to send me a new Dell laptop as my POS Gateway passed on months ago. It's super fast, got Windows 7, and I can finallllllly snag someone who knows how to use CopyPod and update my Ipod with new songs.

New York. Not sure if it's even necessary to go into this one, but I will. It's strange, because for 10 years I was never really sure about NY. I knew it was the longest run of years I've ever spent in a state, but what did it mean to me? Could I consider it home, or just temporary residence? Well, I've moved twice since my initial move to Old Bethpage, and after these two trials I can say this with confidence... I miss it. I miss the crazy hustle and bustle of Manhattan and my friends on Long Island. Yes, the grass is always greener, but you also don't know what truly feels like home until you're gone. There are certian parts of living in Fort Lauderdale I like better, namely the weather - you can't beat it! I'm not too keen on the people here, really. I've met only a few who I like and trust. When I'm in NY, I feel a comfort I don't feel here. It may just be Florida newbie jitters, but who knows. That's something time will tell.

OUT:
Hollywood Tans. I'm so excited to have found Electric Sun right down the road from the overhyped H. Tans, with newer and stronger beds than I've ever used. I saw color after 1 use the last time I went.

Small handbags. Now this one sucks ducks for bucks because I have so many amazing shoulder bags! But I've come to realize I just have waaaay too much stuff to fit in my small ones. So I retired my Coach bag from the Poppy Collection, along with a few others. And being that I have upgraded, I'll need to be spending more $$$ in the future when I need a new one (oh hi, inevitable surfacing materialism).

Gosh I'm sucha dork. My personal blog turned into a random array of all things girly. Ah well! I'm outtie 5000. Take it sleazy.
