Big Girl Bed

My house is getting closer and closer to looking like anthropologie. Every room is painted, curtains are finally making their way up and cabinet knobs have been exchanged for new decorative ones. Every room looks put together. Even the hallway....all rooms except for my bedroom.

Things have just been thrown in there that don't match the rest of the house, I still have the same bedding since my college days and all the pictures are from 2006, the last time I printed any pictures. I'm bothered by my bedroom. So bothered that I have secretly been sleeping in my roommates bed this summer while shes been gone. Dont worry, she's cool with it. 

I just don't look forward to going into my messy, thrown together bedroom. Therefore...its time for a big girl bed.

Its going to look a little something like this

with a little bit of this

Im going to get my hands dirty and throw some paint on the wall also.

I'll let you know how that works out.

Except right now I'm terrified to leave my bed because I just saw this crawl across my floor

UGH!!!!! I hate not living with la roommate. She was the killer of roaches. I just cant do them.

I'll probably end up putting a cup on it, leave it for a good week to make sure its really dead and then make some one else pick it up and throw it away.

But I have to capture it tonight otherwise I wont sleep. 

Wish me luck.

Screaming will be involved

Lovely Sundy

Thanks to Pandora my new musical obsession is Ernie Halter. His voice is beautiful and his creative talent is perfect for fall.

Today is close to perfect in my book. Ernie Halter on in the kitchen while I bake cupcakes. The Cowboy game mumbles in the living room. My new anthro candle scents the whole house. The rain makes it perfect for slippers and hot chocolate. The only thing missing is me in an oversized sweatshirt that belongs to a boy and this nonexistent man watching the cowboys game on the couch waiting to eat my fresh baked cupcakes.

I think...dating...might be somewhere in the horizon. These thoughts of oversized boy scented sweatshirts are proof enough. Ehh... we will see.

Also, Im a little confused as to why the Kansas City Chiefs are wearing their old "Texans" uniform. I understand they used to be the Dallas Texans back in the early 60's but they are NOT anymore so why wear their throwback uniforms? Must be some important day in history. oh well.

Ps. Cowboys, you better pick it up.

I have been waiting for you

All summer long I have been waiting for you. Since last May I have been watching you. Waiting and hoping until my face was blue. They wouldn't release you because you were too new. I have waited to paint my room because of you. I have waited to buy new curtains because of you. I have waited to even hang the rods because of you.

Now that you are finally here I cannot now purchase you. I cannot paint my bland room blue. To buy new curtains I cannot do. See, because NOW I cannot afford you. UGH! I am kinda mad at you.

Why did you decide to arrive, when into my classroom my monies dive? Me from your beauty why must you deprive?

Dang...without you, for now, I must survive.

:::I want you:::

SHOW ME THE MONEY

Picked up this little treasure today from my favorite shop in a celebratory attempt at getting my first real paycheck!!! yes, it has been a miserable 7 weeks but I can't believe it has been 7 weeks at that.

Too bad most of it is going to adult things like bills.

Sales make me smile...... :) and in no relation...so do paychecks. good thing I found both. They are positive contributions to my bank account.
