I have misplaced my digital camera! Argh! Oh well, the apartment isn't quite dazzlingly cute just yet. Hopefully the camera will unearth itself soon... Until then, feel free to skype me and I'll give you a nice tour! My bedspread is just as cute as the picture, I'm digging my platform bed, and I couldn't have asked for an awesome-er (or cheaper) couch and ottoman! I admit that some serious wall decoration is needed, as well as a dresser and desk. However, it's a nice, colorful start!
My only slight concern is this living alone business. A cat may be in order.
Already becoming the crazy cat lady.
Heck yes.

Oh dear.
I've triggered some insane feminine nesting instinct I had no idea I had! Seriously. I'm stalking craigslist for sofas and shopping on all my favorite artsy websites for lamps, rugs, and even wall decals. I'm honestly going to force myself to buy only a couch the rest of this month...otherwise I'm going to go nuts decorating everything from wall hooks to drawer knobs! I did end up buying my pretty duvet cover from my last post:
And today I bought my ikea bed from a nice guy on craigslist:
It's pretty simple- a blank canvas to my beautiful bedspread, if you will :)
I've also made an appointment to see this couch in a week or two. Just not quite sure how I'm going to move it:
The price isn't bad, I like the color, and it's also a sleeper sofa!
Other things I'm drooling over:
Sweet peacock rug
Pretty Ikea lamp
Cute snail lamp (though I'd want a colored shade)
Cool picture wall hanging sleeves
Awesome (and recyclable!) mirror

Hello again everyone!
Well, I'm sitting in my teacher-cardigan glory at the local Starbucks, drinking a chai tea and grading grading grading. Fortunately, I'm grading journal entries, which are almost always amusing. I love asking my students random questions like where they would travel if the could go anywhere right now, what they would wish for if they had one wish (and no wishing for more wishes), etc. One student kindly added at the end that he would wish for "the teacher to chill out a bit." :) Honestly, teaching is a bit tougher than I thought! The hardest thing to get used to is being a disciplinarian. I should probably be even harsher than I have been, but I'm frankly tired of giving detentions and writing people up. Why can't the kids just be quiet and nice?! I'll be grateful when I'm done with getting to know all the different policies, have all the paperwork finished, and just concentrate on lesson plans and actual teaching. That'll be nice.
I'm thoroughly enjoying living with the Maletics. They've been extremely hospitable and made me feel like part of the family. Plus, Mrs. Maletic has been giving me priceless teaching advice and been a willing listener to my daily horror stories.
I'm 90% sure that I'll be moving to that apartment during Spring Break, so I've been enjoying looking through craigslist and shopping for a bed and couch. Oh! and here's the bedding I'm thinking about buying as well:
