So I've blogged about a bit about trying new recipes. Some have been awesome, some just okay. No major flops. We've been able to at least eat all of them, but lately I've been focusing on craft projects!
Pinterest is to blame.
I've created tons of cute Christmas ornaments, wrapped Christmas gifts cuter than I ever have before, and have tons of ideas up my sleeve! I'll share some pictures in a different post. I'm writing this from my work computer, and don't have any pictures saved. Yes I already have some Christmas gifts purchased AND wrapped! Now I just need to convince the boyfriend to let me put the try up so I can have my adorably wrapped gifts on display! Also I must say it pays to watch for sales at Hobby Lobby, and to use their coupons. Crafting can get expensive, but I've been lucky so far, and haven't had to shell out TOO much money!
Crafting is such a good stress relief for me. Nice to just focus all of my energy into making something pretty. As I typed that though, I realized I don't really have much stress lately. It's been pretty fabulous. The boyfriend and I are doing great, work is going well, and things overall are pretty good. I'm so thankful for that. And when I do have my moments where I'm annoyed or frustrated the boyfriend is usually awesome about calming me down, and making me laugh.
The boyfriend and I are still loving exploring new things in Lafayette. That's been lots of fun. There are lots of cool stores downtown. Today on my lunch break I visited McCord's Candies. I've heard lots of talk about their homemade candy canes. They very much lived up to the hype! I'm not even a huge candy cane fan, these were so worth it though.http://www.mccordcandies.com/sshop/
I've been neglectful of my blog lately, but really I've felt just kind of boring. I want to write about my fun stories/crazy adventures, but as I'm getting older I'm having less and less of those. Maybe I'll have to write about my past crazy life. This new life I'm leading is actually more enjoyable though. Sure I miss my adventures like the time I stalked Taylor Swift for 4 days with my friend Emily, or the time I had a client almost taze me when I was doing social work, or the awful awful dating experiences that made for great stories, but really I wouldn't trade the life I'm living now for that life. I'm happy, safe, and loved. I couldn't ask for more. Sometimes getting older sucks, but sometimes it's amazing. This older version of me feels pretty amazing. I love living with a man I'm 100% crazy in love with, and wrapping Christmas presents in November, and improving my cooking skills. Maybe my blog needs a new name, or maybe just maybe I need to redefine what "adventure" real means to me. This whole living with a boy, being domestic, and sort of calmed down is a change for me. Adventure is all about trying something new. So while cooking, and exploring a new town might not make for good blog entries, they sure do make for a happy TaraPants!
That's all for now pals!
