damn this has been the longest week ever... but in the best possible way. i feel like in the past month i've grown up like 10 years. or maybe i just caught up on all that growing up i was supposed to do a long time ago. anyway, it's been busy because i finally got my keys! yup, i guess this should've been a more important post since getting my own place was supposedly the spark that started this whole blog (y'know, reconstructing my life, starting over from the beginning, blah blah), well, that plus boredom.
so monday was the big key day. i didn't do too much, moved some junk in, but mostly just marveled at that empty place, couldn't believe i was actually gonna live there, and all by myself too. everything came out really nicely, i mean, i was optimistic about it because the lady i worked with at the design center was so great and friendly and patient and actually gave my a lot of positive reinforcement about my choices, but to see it all in real life, it was so much nicer than i'd imagined. i'm really glad i spent all that money on it, it was so well worth it (although ask me again in december when my first mortgage payment is due).
tuesday was a buy lots of crap that i didn't know i needed until i needed it kind of day. it was also a what the crap i have no clue what i'm doing did i really think i could do this all on my own kind of day. uplifting and depressing all at once, but i shouldn't be complaining at all. i think my philosophy right now is spend on what you really want and don't worry too much about it because it's an investment, and then save by fore-going the things that would just be nice to have and do without them because really, my hugest investment was the place itself, and all those other things really just block out spots on my wonderful bamboo floor so don't need, haha. the rest of the week until now is kind of a blur, a mix of stress, rushing, wonderfulness, and going back and forth between home, work, new home, home, work, store, new home, home, new home, work, yikes.
anyway, all in all, things are really coming together, bumps in the road all over the place of course, but y'know when it rains...
