ponderings

as i get closer and closer to finishing my masters and moving away from washington for the first time in my life, i've been thinking about starting over in a new city. my current plan is to sell all my furniture/tv/etc and move just myself and the pertinent belongings to where ever i end up. since i moved out of my parents house when i was 18 i have had nothing but hand-me-down furniture. consequently none of it is my style, nor does it match. i currently fill all my time with homework which gets really daunting and obnoxious. since the internet is filled with all sorts of time killers and shopping experiences, i have found that i enjoy looking and shopping for interior designing stuff. for the first time in my life i feel like i might be able to buy some items that i actually like and that match my personal style. this is incredibly exciting! i'm definitely into pottery barn, crate and barrel, restoration hardware, ikea to name a few. for ideas i enjoy Real Simple, Better Home and Garden, and maybe a little Martha Stewart.


also taking up my time - planning the trip to Ireland. pretty sure we're staying here when in Dublin. going anywhere with Ben will be amazing, but thinking about going on vacation to Ireland with him soon makes me smile from ear to ear.
