What Makes It Mine

So of course, there are a lot of improvements I would love to make on my apartment.  But I don't know, last night I just had a little moment, and I though "it's mine" and I liked it.

I like this place with the messy kitchen table, the smell of that popcorn that I burned a little bit, the sound of my records, the adorable pets to cuddle up with, the breezy window with a little bit of rain coming through, the couch I can put my boots on.  It's alright with me.

A Small Change

Dave and I are working on a little living room re-arrangement.  So far, this is what we've got.  For anyone who doesn't know (anyone other than my Momma and my friend Marika, that is), the couch used to be against those two windows, and the TV was on the opposite wall.  It's not a huge change yet, but it feels a little more user-friendly this way.

Tomorrow, we're taking a trip to Ikea (yay!) to hopefully make a few nice updates.

For one, that blank wall behind the couch will hopefully have a bookshelf on it, if not by tomorrow, at least soon (because I can't stand having my books out of order).

There may or may not be potted plants involved.

Oh, and shelves over my desk-craft area!?  I hope so!

Out on the Town, or In the Cave?

I've always been kind of a home-body (my Momma says "house plant"), and I'm actually happy that my 'fella is, too.  We go out, sometimes, but there's no requirement to hit the town just because its Friday or Saturday night.  We spend a LOT of Friday and Saturday nights watching movies or TV together, and that's just fine with me.

Our Friday Night

Nice hair-do...  ;)
