Blue Eyes Designs

SO. I’ve been asked what I want for my birthday (Oct 13, fyi) and when I realized I had no idea, I figured it was time for me to revisit my Amazon wish list. I still wouldn’t say that this is accurate, as browsing Amazon is like drinking from a firehose, but at least it’s something. Right.

Apparently one can’t link to wishlists anymore, so you’ll have to search for my name first and last, and I’m listed as living in the ‘burg.

Otherwise, Best Buy, Borders, IKEA, Target, Innkeepers, Starbucks, Cost Plus World Market, etc gift cards would rock.

Honestly, what I’d really like is to have my credit card paid off, but that’s not about to happen, so I’d happily settle for a little distraction.

Ok. that’s enough of this. I’m feeling selfish and grimy now.

… or something like it…

I’d say I’m just about settled in to our apartment, and because my mom wanted photos, I figured I’d put them here for everyone’s amusement.

our little kitchen
the bedroom from the door

The photos defiantely don’t do justice to how big this place actually is. Both the living room and bedroom are more than twice the size of the room I lived in last year (and I thought that was big!) and the closet, OMG the closet, is roughly the size of the room I lived in sophomore year. I now understand why over-loads turn it into another bedroom! Our kitchen is small, but serviceable and CLEAN. I still can’t get over how nice it is to have a place for everything, as opposed to having it all in the same room. We have a coat closet, linen closet, etc etc. It’s refreshing to feel like I’ve finally got a home.
