The Craigslist Life





Question of the day:  Can one spend too many hours on Craigslist?


I'm not sure of the answer, but if it is "yes," I am terribly guilty.  We're hunting these days for our new home and furniture, and it feels so weird.  So adult.  Yesterday I purchased a used bedroom set.  It doesn't feel like me, but after a paint job, it is going to be spectacular.  For the past four years, I've lived in cookie-cutter dorms with pre-ordained furniture.  I haven't had to do one thing for myself outside of hanging a tapestry or two.  I'm stoked for the opportunity to make this next place a welcoming, creative, and personal space.  The mental vision is beautiful... we'll see what I think of the results!

As excited as I am, I also wonder if I'll even be here in one year.  I have no clue.  For the first time in my life, I have no plan.  I am focusing on TODAY.  And no words can describe the feeling exactly.  What I have is mine, but it belongs to others, too, and I am excited to share, learn, and figure it out from scratch.  Much inspires me- from the DIY decorating ideas found on Google to the Spanish prayer uttered in church on Sunday after the bluegrass set and the hole-in-the wall coffee shop I passed on my walk with the twins-and I have a new idea every day.  Good thing I'm only 22.
