Nesting-Pre Dorm Room Edition

Lately, I've been noticing some changes. When I walk into a store, my eyes immediately find the sale rack. Then when they're done finding all types of goodies there, they wander over to. . . The housing department. It's been happening in every store. It's like the plates are calling to me. "You need me, you'll be happy if you eat off me." All the cutesy garbage cans, laundry baskets, clocks, EVERYTHING.

I have a problem. I think I'm nesting. But not in the preggo way, in the pre dorm room way. I have less than two weeks until I move in. AYE CARAMBA! I'm scared. Nervous. Mostly just about the first few days because I'll be moving in, having to attend all these orientations, and ha, oh yeah, go work at the bookstore where it will be very, very busy. Since school's starting and all. I'm kind of having a stress meltdown you could say. Wondering if I'm taking on too much for my first semester, 14 credits, my first serious job, living on my own.

I know things will somehow all work out in the end though. Probably. It's just the waiting and dread until they happen that's getting me. I'm trying to have fun and enjoy these last few days. Like yesterday I went to the mall, even though I'm broke. It was fun. And then we went to The Container Store. Oh. My. It was my pre dorm room nesting heaven. I may or may not have dragged the bestby down every. Single. Aisle. We couldn't miss anything. At some point in all this, he stole my camera. Look how bad it is. . .






This was all about one half an aisle. It's getting pretty bad. Towards the end of the store, I kept seeing all this wooden furniture and I was like, I'm going to build that. Mhmm. So I might get into some wood working projects. I need something to feed my nesting problem. Hahaha!

Oh college. . . Here I nervously come. . . At least I'll have pretty stuff.

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
