I can’t believe that I’ve already been living on my own for a month. It’s gone by so fast, and yet… I still seem to have nothing done? Definitely not living up to my dream standard yet. This weekend, Andrew is working up a storm so I think I’m definitely going to look at paint colours and start deciding/getting to work on that. I’ll do another major clean, put away my laundry, and maybe start hitting up some antique places/garage sales. *ponders ideas for the weekend*

| My living room… |
I must say, I do wish that my apartment had more of a view… It’s a parking lot and a few other buildings. Amazing, not really. Am I making do? Of course. Do I really need a view? Not really. It just would be nice, especially when I’m sitting at my desk writing this up. Although it is interesting seeing how many people in the two facing buildings are still up [it’s 12 am here while I write this]. I should be in bed… But I need to clean it off first.

| Kinda messy… But the other side, and all my mirrors! |
I’m pretty excited. I want to do a major clean and organize of my place. Actually find a place for EVERYTHING. I just moved in, and I already have too much stuff. How do people do it?? My closet is a mess, and I’m seriously craving some more shopping. Friday I spent a bunch of money, bought two pairs of shoes, and I have my eye on four more pairs [I’ve whittled it down to 2] and three dresses… [also whittled down to 1]. All of which I don’t really need, but really, really want. It’s pretty bad. I’m addicted. And I haven’t stopped at all, purchasing a couple of those dresses!
All the while, the list of things to spend money on is steadily growing. Paint, art, rugs, shelving, clothes, shoes… It’s endless. Plus the fact that I have to buy things [like groceries] every week. Ugh for having to eat. It’s alright though, eating is always good. And I’m starting to get more of the basics, so I’m not spending hundreds every time I go into the store. The last time I went I only spent $80 instead of $170… Always a good thing.
I’m totally settling in a lot better now though. It’s starting to feel more like home, and I’m really liking going “home” to my apartment. I still trip over what I call it when I talk about Mom’s house and mine, though. Home is both at the apartment and Mom’s house.
I’m loving the fact that I can come home, have Andrew over, and we can just chill. Do what we want, when we want. Have him stay the night. It’s more like we live together, but not really [because I pay the bills, and he doesn’t always stay]. But it’s cool, because we putter around, watch tv, crowd the bathroom at night while getting ready for bed… Thank goodness I do most of my stuff out in the hallway because the light/mirror is way better there. It’s pretty awesome. But we’ve talked about me staying in the apartment for longer than a year, because he wants to try his hand at house flipping. We’ll see how it goes…
For now, I’ll leave you with some pictures of my place… I’ve even cleaned up a bit! I have such ideas for it, but I don’t have any time at all to put them in motion. Hopefully within the next couple weeks! I’ll have more later!
