So here goes, another blog. I’m starting this blog in an effort to document my big-girl life. Everything feel like it’s changing, and I’m really excited about it. We closed on our house on Wednesday and I guess part of me didn’t think it would really happen- I keep being flooded with ideas, or little realizations about what I can do now: have a garden. Paint. Get a million freaking dogs if I want to.
Our house was built in 1930. It’s a duplex- as of right now, S and I will be living upstairs while his good friend P takes the downstairs. P went in on the house with us. I say “us” but the reality of the situation is that my current wanna-be librarian status essentially means “broke soon to be ex-grad student” and I did not actually contribute anything financially to this endeavor. All that will (hopefully) change soon; I’m on the job market and hope to be on my way to financial solvency in the near future. Here’s to hoping.
What do I want this blog to be? I want it to document my construction of a life I’m proud of, whatever shape that eventually takes. I’m laying this all out on the table, now: I want to be happy. I want to live in a comfortable, pleasing space. I want to clear myself of mental and physical clutter, live sustainably and within my means. I want to be sure and leave room for fun and whimsy. I want to take more pictures! I’m hoping to use this space to keep in touch with those goals.
