Have I said this before? I think I've said this before.

The nesting bug has bitten me big time. I have never, ever felt discontent about living at home--still don't, really--but all of the sudden I want a house that is mine to decorate, change, paint, plant flowers around, and arrange. I feel like Danny; "I can't turn off my brain. Every where I go, I'm seeing the angles." Every walk I've taken around the neighborhood lately all I can do is look at how other people have arranged their yards and think "Oh, I could do that" or "They should move that over there."

Speaking of walking, it really is wonderful to get up early enough to get a walk in before the day gets started. I never thought I'd be happy about getting up at 6:00 to do something like that. o_O

Back to nesting...(This is a term people besides me and Grandear use, isn't it? You know--arranging your living space. Constantly changing things. Nesting!)...My room lacks it's new wall paint yet but I have the furniture in a new way which I am very happy about. Once the paint is done I'll revamp the prints and maps on the walls. And then I guess I'll just take over the rest of the house and tell mom she has to let me redecorate. =)

I've done my hair a new way this morning and it looks smashingly elegant. And Hannah, I'm wearing the new poncho shawl. I feel beautiful.

Time for church. I love my church. How can I praise God enough for making this work out so wonderfully?

(I garagesaled yesterday and oh, that made the nesting even stronger...I could have such fun decorating/furnishing a house with random bits. I happened upon an estate sale that had a number of old items, so I nabbed all the real silver and the old prints and linins. And an old, old wooden eye glass box with "The White-Haines Optical Co., Cor. Long and High Sts., Columbus Ohio" on the top. I'm positive it's at least from the 1920s, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it was older.)
