Home Alone

Things I love about having my own place:

1-- I can cook in my kitchen! I can leave the pots and pans in my sink until AFTER I am finished with my meals without worrying if it's in the way.

2-- I can scrapbook out in the open and not have to worry about picking all my supplies up each night before I go to bed. Instead, I can leave them in the floor until I have a chance to finish what I'm working on.

3-- I can go to the bathroom with the door open-- well, when my toilet is not clogged anyway. Seriously, I think that there is something about using the restroom out in the open that makes the experience so much better. I can't explain it.

4-- On the weekends, I can sleep as late as I want(well go back to bed after taking Tooter out in the morning anyway) and not worry about people judging me for staying in bed a few extra hours-- or being kept woken up early because people are moving around right outside my bedroom.

5-- That's another thing. Now that I have a living room, the only time I spend in my room is sleeping and getting dressed. That's what a room should be for-- not for me to spend every waking minute in there like I did for the past year. I've read things that say you should keep your bedroom simple and not do stressful activities like work or anything in your room so when you are ready for bed you are not surrounded by things that make you stressed. And I believe this to be true.

6-- Guest Bedroom. Sure, I may not need all the room that I have, but it sure is nice when people are here. Okay so I've only had one weekend with Mom, Dad, Reg and Chee here, but when people come visit me in the future*fingers crossed* it's going to be sooo nice to have another room to spare.

7-- I can stay up late watching TV/scrapbooking and no one cares... well, except for Toot who just stares at me until I go to bed. But I don't have to worry about keeping others awake.

8-- I love having my dog. She may not like this snow at all, but the comfort I feel with having her in my new home with me makes me so happy.

It's true. I am very happy here. It's crazy because it's only been two weeks, but this feels right so far.

While I was alone in my apartment last night I found myself thinking of all of these things with a big smile on my face. And then an even bigger smile came across my face when I asked myself this question--

Did I really fart if no one was here to hear it??

Ponder on that for a while.
