summertime

it is definitely summer. going to bed at 7pm... waking up at ten. that's 15 hours of sleep. hmmm.

i find myself often wandering around, lost, confused, wondering what exactly i should do. this new idea of laziness is not sitting well with me. it is shocking, like a bitter taste in my mouth. thank god that work starts on monday. i need a little structure in my life.

maybe tomorrow i will go to the pool.

today i went to the grocery store to buy some food that i could eat. i have been living on apples and fruit roll ups for the past three days. it was about time that i was able to eat some real food. that is, of course, if you call anything gluten free "real." i also finished my room and its nice to have that done. since i left the nest first, my room was taken over by my youngest sister which has, consequently, resulted in no permanent place for me to sleep. so in pay back i commandeered her play room. it's yellow, vibrant, and has three huge windows that let in enough sun to wake you up at seven. (however apparently that doesn't apply to me.) i was able to use my own personal touch and am happy with how it turned out - a nice little home in a house that is oddly so foreign to me. maybe i will put pictures up eventually cause i am quite please with it. the only downside is that it is in the basement, which still freaks me out at night and leaves me with the horrible view of our brick retaining wall and air conditioning. oh well.

i am so excited! i have decided to learn how to sew. often times, i have gone to thrift stores and found AWESOME items and yet didn't buy them cause they weren't exactly what i wanted. but no longer! i am going to "edit" them with my mom's barely used sewing machine. i already found a skirt that needs to be hemmed. oh am i excited! it can't be that hard, right?

speaking of thrifting. i checked out the local good-will and was pleasantly surprised. so much so that i bought way too much. maybe i will start selling online. i have been inspired by the plethora of women out there who thrift and resell. it seems like such an awesome idea. if only i had enough time. hmmm. we will see. i already have some cool items (including some awesome shoes that i would keep for myself if they weren't too small)... i am just trying to decide between etsy and ebay. let me know if you have any suggestions.
