home.

{bedroom}
{bathroom}

Over the weekend I decided to re-arrange the house a bit. I love doing this because I get sick of things really easily. I started in the bedroom where I removed my homemade plant/bookstand (made out of old asparagus crates) and all the empty wood frames from the wall. I hung my biology chart on the wall in their place and decided to keep the space more open by putting just a chair and old fruit crate as a small side table. I like this new look much better. The room looks a lot bigger and has a little more color to it which I find cheerful. I also got around to hanging some art I had laying around and finally put up my ceramic skull in the bathroom. I think I want to get some more taxidermy to hang in the bathroom because who wouldn't want dead animal keeping watch over your bowel movements? Hehe.

On another note: I am starting to feel sick (again). I woke up with a pounding headache and I am beginning to get that weird sensation you feel when getting ill....

It's only been 2 days since I started my no alcohol, no eating out, no shopping kick for the month. I realize that isn't long, but I already came across a few things I really want. Bad. Like those fingerless gloves below, booties I have been looking for, and a sequined jacket that I finally like. Not to mention Ben smugly drinks a beer in front of me every night. UUggggh. Only 28 days to go....

a new november

Going on trips always make me feel really unhealthy when I return. Probably because I eat out for every meal, drink with every meal, and don't workout. These habits also tend to rear their ugly little head in my life when winter comes. I HAVEN'T SEEN THE SUN IN ALMOST 2 WEEKS!! Do you know what this does to a person? I have decided (with some exceptions*) to not eat out for the month of November AND to not drink alcohol. I might be a little crazy, and those of you who know me are thinking "uh huh Kate....", but I truly am going to try my best. Think of all the money I'll save and how great my prosciutto filled arteries will feel (I just ate a prosciutto and fig sandwich...)! I'm blogging about this because it will make me accountable and hopefully easier for me. I will keep you posted on progress!

*So of course you saw the asterisk and was wondering the catch? I will eat out if its a friends birthday dinner or special event we feel strongly about. This might not even happen but just in case.

Since I'm on a roll. I should probably mention I'm going to try really hard not buy anything for myself the month of November (and maybe even December). OK. Done. Thank you for listening to all this...
