I try to balance not overdoing what I share with you all on other sites while still giving ample credit where it is due. It's no secret I've been condo crazy these past few months, and I love decorating. So, I found a great blog that shows INCREDIBLE decor from several major cities and I just have to pass it on to you all.
Check out the Material Girls Blog.
You can thank me later.
Love,
B

Highlights of 2009.
First off, as I write this I have posted 219 entries to my blog in the year 2009. So this will only highlight a few of my very favorites. However long you've been reading, I do appreciate you. I certainly don't write just to entertain myself. : ] So thank you for your support, comments, e-mails, suggestions, and love in 2009.
I started this blog on January 12th of 2009. So I have almost reached a full year at 'So Scared of Getting Older, I'm Only Good at Being Young'...creeping up on 9000 views! It has been a great year and I look forward to many more years of blogging and many more 'blog worthy' events in 2010!
For now, I'd like to highlight a few of the big events in my life (and blog) from 2009:
In January....
Changes - I wrote what I was expecting out of this year. Not so far from accurate. : ]
In February....
The Super Bowl Breakfast - I posted this entry about the Super Bowl breakfast which I was able to attend. It was a great morning with fellow believers and a joy to watch Tony Dungy be honored.
The Friendship Crisis - I wrote my first open, honest blog entries that explored what I was dealing with in my 20s. Later as I explored blogging more, my entries took this tone more often.
March was apparently boring.
In April...
A Bittersweet Return - I wrote one of my favorite entries, where I finally returned to Raymond James Stadium for the first time since Coach Dungy, Dad, and the rest of us were let go years ago.
In May...
Saving Babies - I was able, with your help, to raise $1500 to prevent Crisis Pregnancies in Tampa.
One Year. - I also celebrated then end of my first year in Tampa.
In June...
Bloooood. - I gave blood for the first time, and yes, had my picture taken with it.
In July...
Dear President Obama. - I wrote my first blog that had a backlash...but I'm still proud of it.
Young, Fabulous, and Broke - I also discovered a new topic that would later dominate quite a few blog entries to date, personal finance.
In August...
Seasons. - In August, I got a new job!
Hands. - I wrote my first blog that got published on other sites.
In September...
Mr. & Mrs. - My first ever roommate (at Purdue) got married! I took a little trip up with my girlfriends to see it all happen.
Hello 24. - In September I turned the big 2-4.
Review. - I did my first book review (well, where I got the book for free at least).
AND Enter Dave. - I started Dave Ramsey!
In October...
Titans Weekend. - I had my first event as staff with All Pro Dad.
In November...
Gold Digger. - I was a gold digger...well, technically it was in Oct, but I posted it in November.
Thoughts. - I read a lot.
Over Thanksgiving - I saw my family.
In December...
Night of Pampering. - I got invite to my first event because of my blog.
Don't Judge Me. - I finally wrote about the whole 'I don't want kids' thing.
Merry Christmas to Me! - I bought a house (condo)!
So there you have it. A great year in my life, and blog. 2009 was my favorite year yet and I truly believe, they're only going to get better from here.
Love,
B

How much is too much?
So, I joined the Twitter cult today. They suggested at my last bible study meeting at Grace that we join twitter and follow one set up for our group so they could give us bible verses everyday. I can't for the life of me figure out how to link to them though, search though I have. Either way, I'm officially on Twitter now and trying to figure out exactly what it is! But this brings me to the point of this blog... just how available is too available?
I've always prided myself on staying up with the times (you know, for all 23 years now). From going to texting as a primary form of communication, to facebook as a way to keep up with friends I don't get to talk to via the phone regularly. To e-mail as a way to get in touch with work contacts and get more done faster. But just how far do we take this technology built to make us permanently available?
From facebook & myspace to texting & twitter - just when do we turn all of this stuff off and let the world survive without us? I got to wondering this after being woken up by a facebook alert sent via my facebook mobile account to my phone at 4am. How much is too much and have I hit that point?
It scares me to think you could really "be my friend" without actually ever spending any real face time with me. You could see me everyday on facebook and myspace. You could read what I'm doing every moment on twitter. You could read my blog to know more about my life, my work, my family, and my friends. E-mail while I'm at work or texting when I'm home. And isn't this similar to how our relationships get sometimes? We don't have time to spend with people so we maintain our friendships in much the same way that we use e-mail to get more work done faster. We let our computers (or phones) do the friendship leg work for us.
I went away this weekend and I set out to talk on my phone as little as possible. I didn't log on a computer to any of my internet sites, I took only phone calls from the friends I was with to locate them. And while I didn't stop texting for the weekend - it still felt like quite a nice break! So why don't I do this more often? The answer is - I don't know. But over the next week or two I'm going to purpose to spend more time talking to people on the phone or in person and less time at my computer virtually being a friend.
Love,
B
