Hello again!

So I have officially decided that I am horrible at blogging. It has been over a month since my last post and I'm not sure why. Partly because I don't feel like anything in my life is worth writing about let alone sharing with other people so they can read it.
But today I felt like typing. Sharing. Posting. So that is exactly what I am going to do!
If you know me you know that I enjoy dairy products. A huge glass of milk is always nice in the evening to help fill me up before bed. (Dinner is usually small and earlier and I go to bed late so a big glass of milk is perfect) And with as picky as I am when it comes to my diet and having such a limited diet, cheese is very commonly found with most of what I eat. But as of lately dairy and I just haven't been getting along. So I have decided I'm going to try to cut out as much dairy from my diet as I can. This is going to be hard though because as I am sitting here I'm trying to think of the foods that I like and eat that do not consist of dairy and I'm having a hard time coming up with much. This is very sad. I know. And I want to improve my diet so I think this is a great way to help me.
Now, I'm not going to say "and I'll post later on how I'm doing" or anything like that because I can't guarantee that I will :)
Onto other things.
I have been reading a lot of sewing blogs lately and have found some pretty interesting ideas that I'm excited to try.
As the weather has been getting cooler I have been thinking about how I wish I had a few more pairs of leggings to wear. I love wearing them with dresses or skirts and boots but I also wear them under my jeans sometimes if it is really cold outside. I love to sleep in them too! But I don't have enough money to go out and spend $20.00 on a pair...or a few pairs since that is what I am wanting.
So I was so excited today when I found a tutorial on how to make your own leggings. I thought they were super cute and as soon as I finished reawding it I wanted to rush home today and make some!! I especially love how she added the buttons on the bottom. I'm the biggest fan of buttons and have a good size collection of them so I have a feeling I'm gonna add some cute ones to my leggigns that I make!!! :)
Again, if/when I get around to making these, I will do my best to post about it and share pictures of my new creations but no promises.
In other news...
I'm moving out! I'm greatly looking forward to this moment that has been in the making for far too long. A lady that I work with owns a cute little one bedroom house in the central part of Springfield close to downtown and she knew that I was looking for a place to live and asked me if I would like to move in there. I will tell you right now...it is not perfect. But what first place out on your own is? I'm very excited and the excitment is building because there have been a few delays. But things are getting worked out and all is well! I hope to be out on my own by the end of next weekend. I know things are not going to always be easy or fun. I know that it will be challenging but I am looking forward to it because I will learn and grow from this experience.
Enjoy!
