Toast with Lemon Butter

I finally cleaned out my overflowing inbox. For months now it's had at least 500 unread messages, and now there's 0 messages! It's just, with all the junk mail, and the hundreds of cute emails my grandparents send me that there's not enough time in the world to read, I couldn't kee up on it, so today I just sat down, and saved all the messages they've sent me so I can look at them when I have a ton of time, and deleted everything else. I feel so acomplished.
I also have my shelves up in my new room. It's so nice because I have almost twice as much space to hang up clothes, and while I was hanging them up this afternoon, I went through them, and despite my pack-rat nature, I'm getting rid of alnost a whole trash bag ful of clothes. Before I take them to Goodwill, though (I'm not going to sell them after all- I'm just going to get a job this summer, instead) I'm going to go through them again and give some to my friend, who's about a gazillion sizes smaller than me, and so can probably fit into the stuff that's too small for me. Like I said, though: It's so nice, because now all of my t shirts fit on the clothes rod, so they're not taking up all of my shelf space, that I could be using for books.
Moving into the room isn't that easy, though, because I have a LOT of junk (pack-rat) and still have to go through it. It's all laying there in my old bedroom's floor, giving me evil glares. How am I going to fit everything into my schedule? I have to clean out my old room, organize my new room, wash the dishes, take more exams, study, go to church, and clean the bathroom. All that and get a decent night's sleep.
But it's OK. I know I can handle this. Even if it means the bathroom goes a few more days without being clean, and I only wash what dishes I need at the time for a few more days... I can do this... I've made a commitment to keep this room clean and organized, and I plan on doing just that.
Do you know what I want for a desk? I know I need a work table where I can spread out and do schoolwork, and somewhere to set my laptop, but what I want is a writing desk. Somewhere where I can sit down and write letters, journal entires, poems, stories, stuff like that... What I'd really like actually, is an old fashioned roll-top desk. That would be so cool.
I'm craving toast. I haven't had any in a long time. I wonder if anyone would mind if I broke out the new toaster that's still in the box? I want toast. Does anyone know where I can get some lemon butter? Mmmm.... now my stomach is really grumbling...

Today was pretty eventful. The first part of the day was spent at school, where I had an exam, and two periods spent watching movies (the Last Samari and Madascar 2 in Spanish with English subtitles). When I got home I decided to take a nap, but just as I was dozing off I was awakened by my parents to start sanding the walls of my new room. I am getting moved into a new room so that my room can become a nursery, but before I can move into it it must be finished, meaning, we mudded the walls, sanded them so they were smoothe, and painted them a beautiful shade of blue called Pitter Patter. Tomorrow, Saturday, I'm going to wake up early and begin packing up my room and moving it into my new room.
There are attractions and drawbacks to this new room, and being a compulsive listmaker, I'm going to list them for you.
Attractions:
- its bigger
- I have a door with a lock
- the vent blows more air than any other vent in the house (this could also be bad, because I have 2 parakeets and I don't want them to get too cold)
- a new start with an already clean room

Drawbacks:
- only one window, as opposed to 2 in my current bedroom
- my room right now has been neglected for a while, and who knows what's hiding under the bed. And my parents have to come in here to move my shelving unit thing. So they get to see the big mess and I'll of course feel ashamed and have to hear about it later.

Because of the second drawback, I'm going to move my own bed tomorrow morning whilst my stepmother and her mom are out on their weekly flea market trip, and my father is at work. That way I can have under the bed clean before they get home, and it'll give me more space to move my stuff off of my shelf so it can be moved out.
Now that the room is painted and move-in ready, I'm looking forward to it more, as opposed to my being against it before. Not only does this give me a chance to go through my belongings and get rid of stuff I don't want/ need, so I can have a clean, organized room from the start, but also, since it's bigger, I'll have room for a desk as well. I'm going to begin looking through for sale ads, in thrift stores, etc. for a desk. What I really want is an old fashioned roll top desk to put right by my window.

As part of moving into my new room, like I said, I'm going to go throught a lot of stuff, including clothes. Hopefully, after I go through them, I'll be able to have a yard sale to get some money off of them. I'm going to save the money until right before the school year and then go shopping for back-to-school clothes. (CLMD [compulsive list making disorder] sets in) For my wardrobe, I'm hoping on getting not only basics like:
- darkwash bootcut jeans
- black jeans or slacks
- undergarmets
- t shirts
- 2 skirts
- 2 sweater sets
- 2 blouses
- 2 pair ballet flats (maybe)
- 1 pair tennis shoes
- 1 ski jacket
etc.
but I'm also hoping to get these specialty items:
- Pyramid Collection's burgundy velvet yule dress
- Pyramid Collection's blue crinkle blouse
- Del Sol's color changing nail polish (so expensive, though, at 10 dollars a bottle!!)

As you can see, this is a lot of expensive stuff, but I'll make it work, because I was born and raised a thrifty shopper who knows how to get good deals, and I'm hoping on getting a part time job this summer as well anyways.
For now, i'll bid you farewell, because it's late where I am and I have to get up early if I want to have time to clean my room before my parents get home. Ciao!!

Hello!

Hi! I would like to take the next few minutes to introduce myself, and my site/ blog. I'm Louise, and my site was created as my outlet for creativity, and also because I want to do my part to help inspire girls of all ages to embrace their inner princess and perhaps discover something new about themselves that they didn't know before.
I promise to do my best to make my site as interesting as possible, but then again, I can't please everyone, so if you find this a complete waste of your time, then I'm sorry, but oh well. If you do find this interesting, or are just curious to learn more about what I do here, thats awesome, but if you could please try to bear with me for a while so I can get things up and running. It might take a while, but I think I should catch on pretty quickly.
Wow. You're still reading! That's a great sign! Stay tuned fo rmore posts, but for now, this princess needs her beauty sleep; it's time to go to bed!
