around the room

I wanted to take pictures, but it's dark, dark, dark outside. So that means you are stuck with these. And I don't feel like messing with them in Photoshop, so they are SOOC (straight out of the camera). Because I'm lazy. But also because I want to post a picture and not just leave you with my rambling words.

I have don't have much of an explanation of these shots. They are all taken with my little Kodak Easyshare in manual mode. Not too shabby. Other than that, it was me looking around my room saying..."what should I shoot tonight?"


How about my green sweater. I like this sweater. I'm also teaching myself the cable knit stitch that is visible in this photo (fyi: I still haven't quite gotten it right. It's tough!). No, I didn't make this sweater. I bought it at Old Navy on clearance for about $8. It's warm and a pretty shade of green. I love cardigans. I love this t-shirt too. It's old and thin and from the thrift store. But it's super soft in its old-ness.


Then we have my messy bedside shelf. Lamp from Ikea. Picture of my fam from my sister's wedding. Books and photos. Please ignore the trash can in the corner. And the basket full of random beauty supplies next to it.
Why am I showing you this picture?




Now this is silly, but has great meaning. Work is underway and just about completed on the additional heat in my room. Most nights, like last night when I was hidden away watching way too many episodes of The OC (help me. i can't stop. it's so addicting!), I am wrapped up like a burrito in blankets with gloves and slippers cause it's so freakin' cold (remember Di and G?!!). I sit at my desk and shiver.
But soon and maybe even tonight, I will have a nice warm room. Perfect timing too cause the temperature is going below freezing the next few nights. Blech. I love warmth. I hate cold. The end.
