10 things.

Thinking more about this blog schedule thing, I have been thinking what exactly I will be doing on my blog.

I love doing "get the look" pieces so I know I will be doing a lot of those, and incorporating those into other things such as the "fashion icon" posts.

I will also occasionally post things about books and movies. Something else I do (compulsively) is make lists. So I decided each with I will do a "10 things" post. I don't want to designate a day, but each week I will post a list of 10 things. They may be 10 things about me, 10 things I need to do, a fashion 10 things list etc. Not too much of a formula, just 10 things.

I will do the first 10 things post this week..so I hope you will check back for it. :) Please bare with me as I try to decide what I want to use this blog for!

Thank you for all having wonderful, inspirational and creative blogs and for being so sweet and helpful as I start my blogging journey!

Blog Schedule?

I've been noticing that a lot of people have a kind of schedule for their blog..usually with catchy little names like "Fun Fridays"-the day I show you something fun! or "Tasty Thursdays"- the day I tell you about something tasty! When I used to just read blogs occasionally and not write or really keep up with any in particular, I thought that was soooooo annoying...but now I think I understand the reason. I've only just started blogging but I feel like things are a a little helter skelter and all over the place. I know that it's good to have some organization, and something your readers can look forward to. Also, It would be nice to know what kind of topic you were going to post about and be able to plan ahead a bit. On the other hand, I don't want to have to scour the Internet looking for an inspiring picture for "Without Words Wednesdays" (-the day I post a picture, without words!) if I don't feel like it.

So, basically, I am undecided on the idea of a schedule. I could use some other opinions!

What are your thoughts on blog schedules? Do you use them? As a reader, do you find them fun? helpful? annoying?

Follow the yellow brick road..

When I was little, maybe around 5, I was obsessed with the Wizard of Oz. I remember having a Toto piggy bank, a Dorothy basket (with Toto inside), a Glinda the Good Witch doll and I'm sure I had other things. My parents tell me that for a while, I wouldnt even let anyone call me my own name. I would just say "Call me Dorothy!" and refuse to answer until they did. I wanted to be Dorothy.

A recent chain of events has left me feeling like I am Dorothy, and it's not awesome like I thought it would be. Dorothy was taken away from everything she was familiar with and thrown into this weird place. Thats where I am now..not in Kansas anymore. At the risk of sounding really cheezy, I am following the yellow brick road right now, seeing where it can take me..and hoping it is somewhere good.

I went through the breaking-off of an engagement a few months ago, lost a job and started a new degree course. All of my closest, dearest friends have recently moved away and I am still here. Basically, everything is changing..I am just doing my best to keep up with it and move forward.

I could go into some more metaphorical BS about how the lion, the tinman and the scarecrow are all parts of me, looking for fulfillment on this journey...but I dont think this is going to be that kind of blog.
