Here's the deal...

Alright guys, here's the deal...I REALLY want to be a super cool food blogger, BUT I'm an insanely busy college student. I've got about 200 pages of reading a night, a social life I try to maintain, a babysitting job that sucks up my time, AND I'm a TA in an AP ENG IV class at Midway Highschool. Bottom line, I don't have time! Soooo I'm gonna put my new foodie blog on hold and just blog here! I'm sure I'll throw in some stories about my cooking experiences here and there, but I just won't have time to keep up with 2 blogs. Wish I could do it all, but I never said I was Wonder Woman! haha :)

Sorry!

New Blog Alert!!

Hellooo friends and family! I'm excited and happy to announce the arrival of my new blog...Dining with Darian. The new blog will be different than this one (Live Laugh Love). Dining with Darian will be ALL about food. I'll be trying out new recipes and blogging pictures, recipes, and deets about how the dishes turned out. Tune in to get some new recipes..(and a few laughs...as I'm sure not all recipes will turn out as planned)!

I'm Back!!

Soooo its been like over 3 weeks since I last blogged, sorry guys! I've been a bit busy...to say the very least. Unfortunately, this means pretty much anyone who was following me has now stopped, because I stopped blogging. Lame! My bad, though. For those of you who have loyally stuck with this blog and me, you will be rewarded :) This blog will have an update on the first semester of my junior year at Baylor (superrr interesting...not) and my new idea for blogging. But wait...there's more! Directly following this blog, I will post ANOTHER blog giving an example of my new blogging idea. Exciting, right?! Woohoo! Can't wait! Let's get started!

What you've missed....

-My house now only has 4 girls in it. Kyrie has moved from the downstairs bedroom to the Thetas' old room upstairs. Her room is super cute and much bigger than her previous one. The house is overall a happier, more united place to live. We all couldn't be happier. I must note that we have kept up with the 2 girls that left. Both have come over (briefly) and all is well. In my dad's words: Its all good.

-I have a JOB! Yep, that's right I'm a working lady now. Everyday this semester I will pick up Elliot and Oliver, twin boys (kindergardeners), and hang out with them until their parents get home from work. I work 3:15-5:15 everyday. Pretty cool, right!? The boys are absolutely adorable! I think we're going to have a lot of fun this semester!

-I'm a TA (teaching assistant)!! I'm working with Mrs. Berry at Midway High School. We teach AP English IV. Hairy Scary Seniors! Yikes! No, no, they're actually wonderful! So far, I love working with them. Mrs. Berry is such a joy to work with and someone I look up to very much already. She's fabulous with the students! I'm sure I'll learn a lot from her, as well as from the students.

Those are the top 3 things that have happened in my life. The rest is the old, boring same old same old.

Now for my latest blogging idea....(Drum roll, please!)
I'm going to transition my blog into a Food Blog! Of course, I'll still blog about my (sometimes) interesting life, but for the most part I'm going to blog about what I've cooked/baked/eaten.

Why?
Well, I've been trying to cook more and I think this will motivate me to choose and try new recipes. AND I'm now on Pintrest. (www.pintrest.com....look it up....NOW) I've found a bagillion recipes on there and NEED to try them out and I want to share my cooking experiences with others.

I'll be cooking desserts, main courses, appetizers, etc. Some healthy, some not. I want to try to take pictures of at least the finished products to show you guys. I think this could be a lot of fun for me and for those who read my blog!! I'd LOVE feedback...so if anyone has any thoughts/comments please let me know!! :) Look out for my first cooking blog....
