Yes, I am alive

I just wanted to pop in here and say thanks for the emails and comments wondering where the heck I am. *grin* I'm here, kind of.


Right now I am in the midst of moving and all the excitement and freaking out that it brings. I'll be moving next Saturday and it just hit me today that I only have like a week left to get everything done. Gah! *freaking the fuck out* But I think the freaking out is good, because it will get me off my butt and doing the crap I need to do.

I just re-read my last post down there, from 2 months ago, where I said that I wanted to move but probably wouldn't be able to afford it. I still probably can't afford it, but I'm doing it anyway. *grin* Actually, I'm in a better financial spot now than I have been in a long time. So of course I go and screw it up by moving to a new place where I will have a lot more expenses. *snort* I think it will be ok though, and I hope it will be worth it. I will be paying a higher rent, but I will also have pretty much all the features that my current place is lacking. I will have my own washer and dryer, central a/c and a bigger place that is easier to get groceries into (that was a major thing for me in my current place. It was such a hassle that I would avoid the grocery store at all costs.) It's also a bit closer to work, and with the way gas prices are, that is a good thing.

So, I've been shopping like a madwoman and buying new stuff. Yay, new stuff! Boo to my credit card bill! LOL. I bought a new comforter set and my first dining room table (no more eating on the coffee table for me) and I got some nice light-blocking curtains for my bedroom. Still have to find some for my living room. And I bought a rug for my entry way, because I have an entryway now. *grin*
Oh, here's something I could use opinions on... I've added a picture of the bed set I bought and it's not very clear, but it's good enough. For curtains, they had both brown and a color of aqua that was very similar to the color of the comforter, but not exact. The curtains were a little more greenish. So I bought the brown, but now I'm thinking I should exchange them for the aqua because they would lighten up the room, and also go better with the gray carpeting I have. But I don't know if that would be too much aqua. So, what do you think-- brown or aqua curtains?




And while I'm adding pics, might as well show you my table, too. :)

Ok, I think I'll stop rambling now. Maybe I'll add some pics of my new place after I get moved in. Aw crap, I should've taken some pics of my current place before I started packing everything. I'm kinda going to miss my apartment. It was the first place that was ever all mine. *sniffle*

Anyhoo, that's what's going on with me, catch me up with you!

PS- I also quit smoking. Can't have that nasty stuff sullying my new place. :D
