July Currently

Farley at Oh Boy Fourth Grade has posted the July Currently a day early two days early (clearly I'm a teacher on summer vacation and don't know what day it is). I follow her blog page on facebook and was shocked to see how many people took advantage of her heads up and got their currently ready before the post went live. By the time I made it to her live post (basically right away), 22 people had already linked up! I should try that the next time!

I love these linky parties. I find so many new blogs through them. If you are new to blogging, this is definitely a party you want to join! 

Listening: I always have the TV on in the background, but I'm trying to force myself to write a paper so it's off. Clearly, there isn't a lot of paper writing happening at the moment...

Loving: My new blog look! I had to reset my HTML/CSS stuff because it was giving me a hard time. I took that as a reason to need a new look. I love how cleaned up everything is. I just want to stare at the pretty design. Okay, maybe that's a bit much, but still, I'm happy, happy, happy!

Thinking: I should really stop getting on facebook and pinterest and finish this work. I have 2 papers and a presentation due on Tuesday! 

Wanting: I would really love to have a nice DSLR camera, maybe a Cannon one. I ooo and ahh over all of the pretty pictures people use on their blog. I'd love to have a nice camera to use for my pictures too. It would also be an added plus for taking pictures with friends and family too of course!

Needing: I really need a new organization system for my blog design clients. Every time I close my waiting list I usually develop a new system before re-opening it. It's all a learning process for me to become better organized and stay on top of the designs. Hopefully not having to take a grad class for 6 months will help too! 

Tips, Trick, or Hints: I love this idea by the way! I think the biggest thing for me with my blog is not to force it. I want to enjoy my blog, I don't want to turn it into a chore. Sometimes I have something to post about every day, sometimes once a week, or maybe not for 2 weeks. Post when you have something, don't force it and feel like you need to post every day. That helps me still enjoy doing it! 

Now that I've finished my post I'll probably be lucky to be in the top 50 for the link up! Ha! Be sure to head over as fast as you can to get the blank template and join in!
