...I have bedroom furniture!

No more air mattress and cardboard jungle for me! I just got a delivery of IKEA furnishings that I picked out yesterday in the store. Funny story: I was going to buy some secondhand IKEA stuff (a dresser and a desk) from this guy I found on Craiglist, but when I was in the store I noticed that same dresser he was trying to sell me for 60 bucks was that much brand new! Jerk. Needless to say, I decided to just buy all new stuff. More photos to come pending completion of assembly! Wish me luck.

...my first day of work was exhausting.

I think that's pretty typical of a first day on the job — that feeling of being overwhelmed by new information and experiences. It's a good thing I've started working again because these past few weeks my brain was starting to turn into mush as a result of too much passive activity (i.e. lazing about and watching gross amounts of television) and not enough stimulating brain cells. Maybe that's why I'm feeling a bit like the slow kid at work. 

I also checked out furniture today at IKEA, since I didn't bring any down with me. I'm going to wait until the weekend before I make any purchases, but right now I'm thinking of this bed and this dresser (in black-brown) for starters. Stay tuned for pictures in the coming weeks.

...it has been over a month since my last post.

I'm ashamed to say that I've become one of those people I gripe about. The kind that start a blog with shiny, hopeful expectations of posting several times a week who then fall off the wagon and into the pit of dead blogs pervading the blogosphere. Regardless, I have been busy (on and off) this past month. I've done a bit of traveling, made rather life-changing plans, signed some important documents, packed up my entire life and written a hefty check. I'm thrilled to say that I'm moving to the Washington, D.C. area this Sunday, starting a new job Monday and turning a whopping 23 years old Tuesday. Time certainly flies. Here's a link to the condo I'll be moving into. The photos were taken by the previous owners (note the crib room, which will actually be my room). I'll be sharing it with another female young professional. Wish me luck!
