When you have nothing to say.

Ok wait for it. I never thought this day would come. BUT it did. Drumroll pleeasseee! I. Tejal. Thakkar. Have. Nothing. To. Say. WHAT?!

I have been trying to figure out what to write for days. However, every time I sit down to write, either nothing comes to me or I erase everything I write. I guess that means that I haven't been feeling much. I usually write when I am feeling something (Sad, angry, lonely, bored, happy, etc.), but I haven't had any strong feelings lately. Actually, I have just been content. So content that I just sit and listen in conversations. I don't feel the need to talk or interject. (Shocker I know). I guess life is good! I am so happy to be on spring break, I had a relaxing day at Virginia Beach with my sister, and the weather is GREAT! So, no complaints.

Right now, I am feeling one thing: TIRED! Time for bed as soon as I finish this :) yeah I am an old fuddy duddy. (If people outside my family say that...)

BUT before I go, Cool thing for today:

I just started reading this book and I cannot put it down. I love historical fiction (especially about the Tudors!)

What I know. (Or Don't).

So, 'they' tell us that you should write what you know. I thought about this for a while. A loooongggg while. Ok, just kidding, I am thinking about it as I write this. haha. I am hoping for some epiphany as to what this means. I mean, I know lots of things:

  • I know that I can't sing
  • I know that Eggs break when dropped (I dropped a carton this morning :/)
  • I know that animals migrate during different times of the year
  • I know that F=MA 
  • I know that Mother's day is always in May
  • I know that my family is hilarious
  • I know that I like to know things
  • I know that clothes go on sale at the end of seasons
  • I know that flowers don't actually always smell that great
  • I know that I love excel.
I mean, I can keep going on. 

But, I do want to talk about the last one for a minute. Can I just say, if there is one thing I am good at, it is excel. I turn into a NERD  when I use excel. I LOVE IT. It's just so fun, and it can do so many things. It's just so amazing. It is a calculator, organizer, predictor, the list goes on. Please go learn how to use excel properly - it does wonders. 

Sorry just had to put that out there.

But in all seriousness. I guess I try to write what I know. I mean how can I write what I don't know? How is that possible? Even if it is an imagine/made up story, that came out of my head....so I know it, right? I am pretty sure this age-old quote is trying to say something more philosophical, but I guess I am too ignorant to see past the words.

Anyways.....COOL THING!

PINTEREST is the niftiest thing since sliced bread! And yes, I say "niftiest" and "since sliced bread"


It's a little like tumblr I believe (though I have never been on it). You basically browse through a bunch of pictures on the site (or you can even take images of any site on the web) and "pin" them onto your "boards" which can be of any category. For example, some of my boards are: travel, clothes, and Interior Design ideas. The possibilities are endless, and the more you pin, the more pictures you see that appeal to you!

Try it out!

Peace a love <3

Writing.

Helllooo Everyone!

I hope everyone is doing well :)

I just wanted to write a thank you note to all of you people who have been reading my blog.

Dear (Enter Name Here / Fellow Bloggers / People I Have Told To Read This),

I HAVE REACHED 500 views on my blog!!!!!! I know a great deal of these views are from the people I have nagged incessantly to read my blog, but I also know that not all of the views could possibly be from only these people. So for that, I thank you....unless my family/friends keep going on my blog to make me feel better. haha that would be funny.... :)

When I first set out to write a blog, I hoped to entertain people, entertain myself, get my ideas and thoughts down in writing, and improve my writing. The most important thing I have gained from starting this blog is the ability and discipline to simply write more. This blog allows me to write whatever I want, whenever I want without a specific format, but it gives me enough structure to make sure I formulate my writing in a manner that is easy for others to follow. Starting this blog has really been one of the best ideas I ever had (this is a big deal. I have a lot of good ideas. HA joke! I really don't.) I absolutely cannot believe that I have had so many pageviews (though I would be completely content with 0 -- this doesn't give you permission not to read :P). If I may, however, something that I would really love is if everyone would follow my blog! Also any comments and/or feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I am so happy right now! :D

THANKS SO MUCH!
