Furniture
This past weekend, my aunt bequeathed a cheery hutch to us. She bought a new one that better matches her decor and offered the old one to us. We don't have fancy dishes...not in the sense that fine white china is a good idea but we decided to give it a good home any way.
It's funny how filling the thing made me feel like an adult. I guess I'm still in the honeymoon phase of this whole married life business but up until then it hadn't really hit me. I'll be coming up on my quarter century in a couple of weeks and at times I still feel like an awkward kid. As though I'm playing dress up and this isn't real.
Hell. The bills are real. The fact that my car won't pass it's emissions test so I can get a damn Colorado license plate is really annoying. But opening the boxes of Cheery Blossom plates and stacking them into the hutch really drove it all home for me. This is what I grew up for.
We will now proceed to ignore the hutch other than as a place to put more books.
In other news:
-I've been unemployed since November.
-Job hunting in the automotive industry is depressing when the economy sucks.
-In my cake-walk Technical Writing class we had to analyze a newspaper article. I was not kind to the MDJ and it felt good.
-It's acting like spring outside...which means there are Cadbury eggs at the grocery store. Huzzah!
