Mission accomplished

So, it's only taken me what? 2 months? But the Great Room Purge of 2009 is finally complete! All tidy and rearranged.

Welcome to my humble abode:

My worktable

Room to bust a move!

I've had that bear since I was about two years old. I wanted to pose with it in a school photo in elementary but my mom was so appalled by how dirty he was because he hadn't been washed in ages that she wouldn't let me. So, I threw a fit and my dad washed him before school. I have no idea what happened to those photos because I don't remember seeing any pictures of my with my teddy bear.

So, I pulled this wall-unit out of the garage. On a recent trip we drove right past IKEA and I kept saying every 20 minutes (until my parents became more than slightly annoyed) that we should go in and buy me a wall unit. Well, I was cleaning on Saturday night and my dad mentions that there is one that has been sitting in the garage for 4 years. Why didn't you mention this when I was hounding you to go to IKEA? So he helped me install it and now that all my junk has been thrown out I don't even have enough stuff to fill it up!

Those shelves aren't anchored to the wall

so if there's an earthquake I'm kind of screwed.

This concludes our tour.

My little corner of the world

I love it when I get the house all to myself. I had the day off from work today so I baked a pie, cleaned the house, played piano, read a book, watched Merlin and listened to Taylor Swift on repeat. (I'm a tad obsessed with this song). I'm not sure if I'm more annoyed or amused at how they slapped a pair of giganticus glasses and made her a reading/studying nerd in an attempt to make her seem....less appealing? Oh well. Twas a good good day.

GRP2009 is nearly complete!
