It's official...

I am terrible at following through on what I say I'm going to do...like my blog. I don't really have much of an excuse, other than always finding something else to do instead. Who knows, maybe I can make a New Years' resolution to do more with my blog, even though I'm essentially setting myself up for failure, just like my gym membership.
Anyway, here's a quick update on what's going on in my life, for the person or two that hasn't given up on this blog or me yet...
Work-Still do it, can't afford not to. Do I love it? Not necessarily, but it's a job, and I'm grateful for it and the fact that it won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
Home-Haven't found a new one yet. For anyone who doesn't know, the house I've lived in for almost two and a half years has been on the market for about a year and a half. For a long time, there weren't any decent offers, so the family decided to split the property and sell the house separately from the half-acre next to it. Well, shortly after the property was split, a couple made an offer on the entire property, and the owners accepted it. They've got until the 23rd to back out or for a loan to fall through, but the house is pretty much sold at this point. It's been coming for a long time, but it's still hard to comprehend that change is coming quite quickly. Anyway, I've got an option or two that I'm looking into a bit, but if nothing works out, I'll be back with my sister for a little while. Lucky her, huh???
Church-Still go, haven't gone inactive yet, so don't worry. Our ward was supposed to be going through some big changes effective January 1st 2010, which meant I would end up being in a brand-new singles ward. And I was super excited for the change and had started preparing myself for it. Unfortunately, we were informed a few weeks ago that the change is not coming about as quickly as anyone had hoped. Apparently you have to have your ducks in a row before starting up three new wards and kicking several family wards out of their building. So I'll be staying in the same ward, unless one of my housing options is a go. If I move back in with the sister, I'll still be in the ward I am in currently. I'll keep you updated...or not, knowing me.
Dating-Haven't done much of it...ever. Not that I'm complaining about it. Sometimes I wish that I could find that special someone, get married, and live happily ever after. And then other times, I think that maybe it's a blessing to be single, especially after witnessing some of the things that people close to me have had to go through, both dating- and marriage-related. I've got one or two people that have someone they're thinking of setting me up with, but I'm not worrying about it too much. Besides, worrying doesn't change anything, right? I hope that doesn't sound negative, because that's not my intention. I've just got bigger fish to fry right now.
I know, I know...I promised much more exciting posts for this blog. Sorry to disappoint you, but this is all I've got right now. Besides, I've got my ward Christmas party in about 15 minutes, which is bound to be an interesting experience...

I've come to the conclusion that I don't post on my blog nearly often enough (I know what you're thinking, it's not hard to come to that conclusion...). To be honest, I tend to think that my life isn't exciting enough for other people to want to read about. Then I thought about my vacation the beginning of this month and thought, hey, I DO do interesting things. So I'm going to try to do a better job of posting on this blog...not necessarily just the weird and unusual things I do, but also my own personal music reviews (because of the love I have for music and the special place it holds in my heart) and just fun, random things that I do or that happen or that I come across. Hopefully in the process, I will be able to get into the habit of blogging. Here goes!

Gina needs...

My Haley roommate suggested I try this...It's quite entertaining.

Google the phrase (including the quotes) "[your first name] needs" and write down the first 10 results.

1. Gina needs to change her self-talk.
2. Gina needs to be clarified.
3. Gina needs a drink.
4. Gina needs some new kidneys!
5. Gina needs you!
6. Gina needs an English tutor, please.
7. Gina needs many services- social services, financial services, mental health services, manicure and pedicure services (so true...)
8. Gina needs spiritual intervention.
9. Gina needs to speak her mind.
10. Gina needs to come out with an energy drink next.

So there are are a few ones that I skipped because they were really dirty, but I've still got some funny ones!
