i actually stood in front of the mirror at work yesterday and said to myself "holy fuck i have a tiny waist". it was kind of odd.
the apartment is looking good. i bought a couple of small cushions for the couch and it's amazing how much difference they make to the whole living room. tomorrow i will buy bedding for the guest room and then we are more or less ready for guests. my living space is somewhat a reflection of my personality. the books on my bookcase are organized by colour. my CDs are alphabetized. my storage cupboard is full of identical metal storage boxes all labelled with the same picture frame labels. everything everywhere is part of a colour scheme except for the christmas tree and it's all i do to stop myself from decorating it only in reds and oranges and golds. i don't think i'm obsessive about this stuff; i just like to be surrounded by beauty and i see beauty and feel peace when my home is coordinated and ordered. i should also add that i don't like spending a lot of money on this beauty. i like creative beauty. i like the "art" in the guest room which i made from beautiful gift wrap (i've also used paper napkins and cushion covers for great looking art). i like the tables i created from the tops of cheap ikea side tables plus short chrome legs (i have these in my bedroom and living room and they are probably my favourite bits of furniture). i like how the kitchen looks totally modernized just by adding sleek chrome handles. i like a lot of simple things we have done with our apartment that make it look special. i like our apartment.
