Who Knew Crate and Barrel Could Evoke Such Emotion?

It has been a blissful 2 days off from school and from being forced to return to the real world. I whined and moaned all last weekend about how much I wasn't ready to go back to school yet, so what a fortuitous snowstorm. I'm still not ready to go back, but I know I have to face the music soon enough.

Since I've had copious amounts of time on my hands the last few days, I've perused probably 100 catalogs. Looking at all the wonderful home accessories and furniture and fun decorative stuff makes me long for a house. Yes, I have a great apartment in Charleston, but it's temporary (and with recent events, maybe more temporary that I had originally thought), and it's a shared space. I'm ready to have one house - my OWN house - and one city to live in; but, in order to have all of those things, I have to return to Charleston to finish what I've started. I'm halfway through this law school thing, so unlike many other ventures in my life, I might as well finish it now. Even if I doubt my ability to be a lawyer on a daily basis.

Then I can buy the white couch online that I want and sit on it every day of the week and love it because it's mine and I worked hard for it.

Maybe I'll cut the picture out and carry it around with me for inspiration...
