Soon

I have been thinking quite a bit about our upcoming move. I have to say what I really want to do is buy a bunch of new furniture and art and lamps and little decorative items. Alas, with our meager budget that isn't exactly affordable. I wish I was one of those people who loved to hunt around in thrift stores, but I hate to say that I am more of a Target shopper. Maybe I can change?
What is exciting is that we will have so much more room to play around with. I haven't bought anything for our apartment in a really long time because there isn't anywhere to put anything else. Anything I buy just becomes clutter or in the way. One thing I am excited about is having a dining room table again. Right now our table is used mostly for stuff that has no where else to go. Like mail or books. It is amazing how quickly the pile builds. Then, come dinner time, the idea of actually figuring out where everything should go is too overwhelming and we usually just eat at the coffee table. So, having space to put a little shelf or side table just for the purpose of the "things that have no proper place to live" will be wonderful. Then I will reclaim the dining room table for food eating only.
There are several other things I want to buy like this a couple of these and this for our patio. I have many ideas...needless to say I am excited. And last, but not least, fingers crossed that this will also happen ;).

Heat

The heat of summer is officially upon us. For some reason during the freezingness of winter, when I am complaining and wishing desperately for summer, I don't remember these really hot and humid days. Also, it is 8:30 in the morning. And I am already feeling the heat. Part of the problem is that our living room wall (which is also a giant window) is where the sun, as it rises in all of its glory, beams in ferociously. Making a hot and sticky start to the day.
In better and more positive news...we are moving in just about a month. And I am fairly sure, if I am remembering the layout correctly, we will not have this whole sun problem. So that is exciting. But doesn't really help when I am desperate for a cup of coffee, but know that after the first sip I will start sweating. What about making it an iced coffee? (you say) Well, just not worth it if it isn't cold brewed (says the ex-barista).
Today is the 4th of July and also a Wednesday. So, I am taking the day off of work, which is something I hardly ever do for holidays like this. But it is good to take a day off of work to spend with my hubs every now and then.
I suppose that is all there is to say. Happy 4th of July!
