The Dog Days are Over.

Yes, the dog days ARE over. Meaning that I will no longer just sit in my newly moved into house simply unpacking, but I will blog instead!

In my defense, however, we did move halfway across the country...is that a good excuse for not posting in over a month? Would it help if I added that my blackberry doesn't have a blogger app & we just got internet on Monday? Well, those are the only excuses I've got. So hopefully you understand- thank you if you do. *hugs*

Ahhh, its finally summer. Days filled of longboarding, shopping, tanning, late nights, beachy waves in sunkissed hair, & no makeup except sunscreen. Lovely. It really, truly is! This summer is different though, considering I've made my 11th move in my fifteen years of living, to yet another familiar place. I said goodbye to Virginia on June 24th, and hello to Illinois 2 days after. That means, if you passed 3rd grade math, I have been living here for almost a month. We have only been living in our house for 3 weeks though, so I'm happily surprised that we will be completely unpacked this weekend. All there's left to do is put down a few rugs & hang pictures. After you move every 18 months, you create a pretty good system if I do say so myself.

My new room is wondrous. We painted it a gorgeous pale yellow (Canary Song by Glidden to be exact) which goes perfectly with my new ivory & black DKNY quilt on my bed, & matching white furniture from IKEA. My previous rooms were very cluttered & nic-nacky so to speak, because I have a tendency to hold onto ridiculous things. But this bedroom is different. I simply love everything too too much to put random objects on every countertop. So my 'theme' was minimalist...something that I most certainly am not.

My desk is also in my room at this house because my room has more space. So I get to keep my most beloved laptop right by my side. Hopefully that will mean its going to be a constant reminder to blog, but who knows. Like I've said previously, I will try my best to commit to this thing. :)

Sadly, I have no pictures for you all.I know, I know, this post is utterly boring. But I simply haven't had time to take pretty pictures with all the unpacking. I apologize!

*smooch*
