update from the new residence...

so far i love the new place i am residing at, although i have made little progress in getting organized and decorating my room etc. reason = it costs dollars. i just dont want to go out and spend money on wall decor, and there is always the conflict between having functional living space vs. a good looking living space. i just recently decided against buying a new mattress. (why are mattresses so flippin' expensive?).

One i thing i enjoy in life is walking. This weekend i was able to walk to target to buy milk for breakfast. and then later that night walked to the cafe Amsterdam for a cappuccino and a little reading.

a word about the cafe amsterdam: i like it based on name alone. i like because of its european hours (8am-3pm and 8pm-12am)... its rare to find a coffee shop in south oc open after the street lights go on. it has 3 times the seating of any starbucks - although i was the only one there. there is something shady about it though that i can't quite put my finger on. more on this at a later date.

i know what you mean. my room is still stark white and has furniture that is over 10 years old. i was looking through pottery barn and crate and barrel catalogs today feeling very covetous... :(

Have you ever watched the tv show Weeds? Cuz the main character has a "cover business" of a "bakery" to use as a front for her drug dealing...hmmm...
