But not to worry, I will still be posting regularly here, blogging is my stress relief and I don't think I could live without it! However, I'll probably become WAY behind on emails etc {which is crummy cause that was one of my resolutions}, and I'll be pretty MIA on the comment-front on all my favorite blogs. Another resolution broken! I've been wanting to be better at commenting back to those who take the time to comment here {I so appreciate you!}, and I ALWAYS try to comment on any blog I read. I feel like it is important to let those bloggers know that I appreciate the time they take in putting together a post, and I'm kinda against "free-grazing" - if I enjoyed the content it's only fair to leave a comment. I'm by no means perfect, but I try my best. But I'm going to have to majorly break the rules I have for myself, just for a while - please forgive me!
I'll be reading and writing, studying, and writing some more. And while I wish I could tell you that I'll be looking this glamorous while doing it:

Funny after back reading there are a lot of similarities in your stories and what's happening here! I have knock off towels like the Anthro ones I got them @ Hone Sense!We hang mirrors over windows here if the view is not that great! I am inspired to do a post on it...Thanks!..Funny I just did a post today about mirrors but just the ones in my from hall!
Best wishes for you and your thesis (let us know what its on when you feel up to it)...I will pray you have the focus you need as you complete it, good health & sweet rest when you can!
Ack! Writing my masters thesis was so stressful... I can't even imagine doing a phd! I love your collection of 'studying' inspiration pics!
Ah sweet Nancy...I'm pretty sure writing a thesis qualifies as a good excuse for being behind in emails my friend!! I know you'll do an awesome job and love, love this post of academic pretty! I'd wish you good luck but I know you don't need it:) xoxo

Good luck on your thesis! That will be such a huge accomplishment!
Lots of luck on your thesis! The storage box is ingenious and I love all of your great images - I need to be reminded that one can still be stylish while swamped under paperwork! Have a great weekend, Cynthia
Good Luck Nancy! I will be thinking about you! Wish I looked as glamourous as those pictures everyday!
You are truly amazing! How you manage it all blows me away! You go girl!

Good luck sweets! Love that storage idea! Will file that away!
Love the storage box idea! Somehow I missed that one... Good luck on the thesis!
I would like to wish you, first of all, the greatest year, since so many of your dreams are about to come true and I truly wish you the best, eventhough I do not know you in person; but I guess that when a person decides to share a bit of her life for years with total strangers, and those on the other side decide to follow those flashes willingly, effortlessly and eagerly we kind of become friends. I´m from Portugal, I do not post very often but I follow your blog daily, anticipating with excitment what the news are going to be this time, never disappointing and always revigorated and inspired. Secondly I’d like to thank you for letting a door open for us, so that we could appreciate through time the way you’ve evolved into someone so inspiring, so creative, so meticulous, so spontaneous, but above all, so genuinely true to yourself. Thank you, for I have also grown with you. I’ll keep on coming here, visiting you, hoping that if you come to my country one day, I’ll have the pleasure of welcoming you personally, opening then the doors of my house to you and hoping that you’ll feel at ease, just like I do, everytime I come to your blog. Cheers to you doll! Keep on being very Happy! and i hope that one day you may have time to visit my blog - it would be an honor!

Good luck with all of that! yikes! And don't worry about looking chic - my guy loves me best in sweats and no makeup! Not what I consider chic but heck, who am I to argue?
You'll do great! Just remember that you can do everything, you just don't have to do it all at once! Take some time for yourself along the way. The pics are amazing- Really, you don't look like that when you study/write? I'm surprised! The DIY project is definitely something that's getting added to my idea folder. Have a great weekend!
I know you'll get your thesis finished and that it'll be fantastic!! You're such an awesome and smart Chickie ;-) Love the hidy-box idea... thanks for sharing because I might just have to copy it!!
Victoria
Good luck!! How inspiring - how do you do it all!? Love your post. Have a great weekend...Karla
BEST of luck to you. Sounds like your commitment is definitely there.
You are not 'breaking' any resolutions in my opinion, but rather knowing where your priorities 'must' be right now. a thesis is no small feat and can't be taken lightly... we'll be here celebrating your return!
Good luck, Nancy. You'll rock this undertaking, too!

Best of luck Nancy! What an amazing accomplishment when you're done.
Good luck Nancy! You're right about free-grazing, sadly I have been committing this offense for years. I need to be more outwardly appreciative of all the wonderful bloggers out there and I'm starting here. Thanks for you wonderful inspirational posts! Your blog is amazing!
We have alll been there. Best of luck!!
We have alll been there. Best of luck!!

All the best with your studies/writing, Nancy! I'm sure it will come together for you, and when it's all over you'll have to really celebrate! XO
