Life is Complicated...

So I've been Über busy and blogging has been on the back burner these last few months. I really don't like that it has been, but there is nothing that I can really do about it. Am I leaving the blogosphere for good? No! I am however going to get back to it as soon as I can. So where have I been all this time? Well, I met someone new and we've been spending so much time together that I'm forgetting about the real world every now and then. Beyond that? A lot of tragedy...

My 10 Apps That I Love!

So I recently just upgraded (finally! lol) to a new phone. The iPhone 4S in white! Now after a week of using it, I've come to realize what applications I really adore.

Instagram: Since day one I've been using this app just to document my life left and right. I'm also a geek when it comes...

There wasn't many books out there to choose from, so I just read the books over an over again....
