Ch.1&2 "No One Cares What You Ate for Lunch

I love this book so far. No. 1- it was simple. No. 2 it's the kind of reading I enjoy. And of course, No. 3, which is the most obvious, it was very inspiring. There was at least a handful of stories that made me think "Wow! I have the perfect situation that fits into this scenario for a blog". The first of which are about a couple of interesting experiences I've had on road trips at rest stops. It's the odd things that happen on trips that you will never forget. If these things happened on an ordinary day where you live  you'd probably never think about them again. (But I'll save that for when I need it :)
 So speaking of travels, my boyfriend and I use to keep a journal that we'd take with us on trips and vacations, we'd write all the high-lights and experiences of the day. There was even a star rating next to each restaurant we dined at. We'd both write our own share, and notice things that one another forgot to mention or just left out.  But then the journaling just stopped, and we've been so many places since those day. On our last couple of trips we asked ourselves "why aren't we journaling anymore?" I loved reading back on the memories and the humor we used within our writing.
Blogging is the perfect remedy. I have now encouraged my boyfriend to start a blog and to also read the couple of chapters from this book for his own personal inspirations. In addition we plan to start a joined travel blog that we'll both share our stories and a pics from our trips. Since just a picture alone cannot capture our unique experiences.

Self Intro

Hi!
   My name is Angelina, but usually go by Angie. I am 28 and in my fourth year of the Art Education program. I have a nine year old son named Damien, who takes after me in the department of creativity, goofiness and adventure seeking qualities.
 I love creating art, however I rarely find the motivation. I'm predominately into collaging and experimenting with mixed medias, watercolor, and paper imagery. Of all my studio classes so far I've been most fond of printmaking and am looking forward screen printing this semester.
Outside school I am crazy about traveling, camping, attending music festivals, eating and preparing all sorts of foods, riding my bicycle and of course spending time with my super awesome son and boyfriend of 8 years.
Lately we've been spending lots of time in Ann Arbor, frequenting the farmers market, trying new foods, bike riding or kayaking. Lastly, I am a waitress at Calvino's Wine Shop and Restaurant, which is ok... I like the people but I have been waiting tables for the past 12 years, so when I finally graduate and have my own class room in an elementary school I will be a happy lady. :)
