BEDA and the wonders of sickness..

I sicken myself when I look at the date of my last post. I suppose I really can't keep track of things and that worries me. Well then it is time for a change and I'm going to commit to this blog for at least 30 days. Why? Well because BEDA (or Blog Everyday In April) is starting tomorrow! I wasn't quite ready for the challenge last year as I had only just started blogging, but now it's about time I seriously stop neglecting my blog. Thanks to Maureen Johnson, now all you slackers like me, can seriously commit to something and feel a sense of achievement. Most bloggers write daily anyway, so BEDA would be a bit pointless, but it doesn't mean you can't participate.

So my friend Lo came up with a plan/list of themes and ideas to talk about on each day of BEDA. I checked it out and it seems pretty good and quite consistent so I think I'll use it, but I might make a couple of alterations maybe here and there. I think it was a really good idea though! That way you can't feel uninspired or feel as if you have nothing to talk about. So, here's the original list:

1. BEDA Intro/Interviews(?)
2. Music
3. Food
4. Weekly Wrap-Up
5. Sports

28. Favourites
29. Things I Love Thursday
30. End-of-BEDA Post

Also, I've recently become obsessed with the expression "ZOMG". I just think it says a lot more than the simple O-M-G! AAAAH ROME TOMORROW!! I can't wait! I finally get to see my grandparents, my and and uncle and my cousins after more than a year. Not to mention, I get to go back to my "hometown" which I really miss. It's such an amazing place to be in and the people are so great. There is always something to do there and it's one of those old cities that's always full of life. It's where the old and the new mix together wherever you go. It's not like in most cities where you have the ancient part of town and the modern part. In Rome, history and modern art are everywhere. From the roads you walk on to the buildings you walk in to. So yes, I am super excited! I leave tomorrow morning and it's a 7 hour drive down there. I suppose that may explain the possible shorter blog posts for the next 4 days because I believe I'll be using a PC with much slower internet and I won't be online as much. OH! And guess what? Meekakitty (Tessa Violet) is heading down to Rome tomorrow with her mom too! That's really exciting for me because she's one of my favourite youtubers and I'd love to meet her. So I shall keep my eyes wide open.

I guess that's all for today. Just wanted to warm up before the 30 days of blogging! I'll have plenty to talk about, I suppose. And besides, April's a good month and we'll definitely be in Spring-like weather. Okay, I just jinxed it. Oh ari..

See you tomorrow!
