Set Free

Last week I had Josh put my spider friend outside. He needed to be set free because:

1. I was afraid he would get bored of the shower and decided to crawl into the bedroom and down my throat while I was sleeping. And
2. He didn't have a web or anything and so I don't think he was eating . . . (But Josh later told me - if he was hungry he would leave . .)

Anyways I kind of miss him.

The Room

Remember floppy discs? Of course you do . . . you do right? I still have floppy discs. I still have some actual floppy floppy discs. Now there are memory sticks. These are much more efficient, hold more information, are smaller and are not as easy to break.

I found my floppies while going through a box in my spare bedroom. Can we talk about my spare bedroom? I love it! It may be my favorite room in the house. I do love my bedroom, where I keep all my clothes and get sound sleep (most of the time, but tonight is not one of those nights.) And I love the kitchen because the food is kept there.

But the spare bedroom allows for something that no other room does. It contains my scrap booking stuff, a desk, a grad school book shelf, and a newer big beautiful bookshelf. This bookshelf is the home to many lovely, colorful books. Sadly, most of these books are unread. I never realized how many book I have until I got them all in one place. The spare bedroom is also the home to all the boxes that have not yet been unpacked. Home to the box that contained the floppy discs.

I will share a picture of this room as soon as my camera battery is done charging. Which, by the way I found the charger, in the box with the floppies.

But here is what is so special about the spare bedroom. It allows for me to be. Be creative, be messy, be thoughtful, be me. It is messy because for now it is where I shove everything that does not have a home quite yet. I do hope for the room to become functional sometime soon though.

Whenever I enter the room something magical happens. I am surrounded by my favorite things - books, pictures, my Ipod and random other things. Soon the room will host my purses on a handy purse holder that will hang on the backside of the door.

When in this room I am inspired. Inspired to create works of art - pages of scrapbooks, ramblings such as this. Inspired to read these fabulous books I posses. And energized to live and be in this room.

I hope to share more stories and pictures of this wonderful room - but for now thanks for reading this babble.
