Make it BLUE!

Doing big scary grown-up things, and making big, fatty CHANGE decisions has its good days along with the scary ones that leave me huddled, fetal-style on my grandma's fluffy white rug. (TMI? whatever. deal.) 

The good days are the ones where you get to look around for the cool new necessities.

And also do a little stress shopping.

Even if it's only window-style.

Or internet-style.

Taaaddaaaaaaaaa.....

(to be read aloud in a sing-songy voice one might use when gazing upon beauty for the first time.)

I've seen the pink ones. And the gold ones. And I liked the pink ones. Until I saw the blue ones. The  blue ones make me want to just...well, let's just say if these were placed before me, I might need to lie down on the floor facing them with my chin propped up in my hands just to take them in properly.

I think it goes back to my days of Sleeping Beauty adoration. "Make it pink! No, make it blue!" I always liked the blue dress better. Shoes. :) I've always been a jacket/coat girl, but these shoes might turn me into a shoe girl. :) You could be a Debbie Downer here and tell me I'm a material girl for needing some quiet appreciation time alone with these shoes, but...don't. *claps hands in excitement* I'd be like those happy, newly engaged girls who keep staring at their glittery ring...only I'd be happy and staring at my glittery shoes all day long. :)

Okay, I'll take myself back to reality. *sigh* Because they might have to wait until after this purchase...

I guess.

...because I'm moving in the next number of weeks, and everywhere I look that I like is unfurnished. And I'm 28 and don't own my own bed. Are there people out there who make judgments based on this information? I feel like there are. That is not neat.

These are huge steps, people. Mormon girl buying her own bigger-than-a-twin bed means all sorts of dumb grown-up stuff around here. Hahah. I made great strides last summer when I bought that dreamy memory foam topper for my current twin bed (came with the apartment. I like to put these things off in big ways.) because I was so sick of sleeping on that piece of crap and not buying something more awesome because...well...you know, what if you get married and then...well, what does one do with a twin-sized memory foam mattress topper?

Put it on my side of the bed, that's what I do.

So I bought it. And now I just wish it were queen sized. But whatever. P.S. Future husband is so buying the king-sized bed when it comes time. All this time, what does he think he's doing, huh? Looking around the world for a big enough bed, I think. That's what.

Meanwhile, DeeAura does whatever she wants.

Anyway, that point is: moving on. growing up. go, Dee. Whooppee, I'm finally learning to grow up like everyone else my age.

(Do I have to?) Okay, I already know the answer to that. Stupid oldest child complex.

• Grad school: in progress. June is the date of knowledge.

• Half Marathon training: the number of times I sprint are getting a little less often, and the consistency of my runs are getting...a little more consistent. I still sprint though. Oopsie. Is this bad? I don't even know.

• Secret goal #2: also in progress. But that news won't come til...maybe January. Or earlier. But I hope it's not until January.

...Talk about the motivation to be a free girl now....'cuz it's growing bigger every day.

Meanwhile, it's time to go get ready for Jamba time with this girl: because it has been TOO long. And it's a tradition. Or...at least we say it is. Hahah. Even if we don't do it anywhere NEAR often enough.

And while we're on the subject of people I love and can't imagine living without? (No, that's really the same track, I promise.)

I miss you too, Cali. so desperately. 

But I love all that light in your kitchen for Addie and her yellow cereal. :) Okay, my heart hurts now. 

I'm off to Jamba time. :) And temple. And blind date tonight.

Because. That's what single girls do. :)
