I'm feeling good about the compliments I've recieved on my new look (haven't seen it? scroll down). It's such a big change but it's made me feel so much more confident because the other look... I've just looked like that for SO long, it was as if it was holding me back because it stopped representing who I am a long time ago. While I can be quite the girly girl, I'm very dark too (just ask my parents about my childhood obsessions, ::rolls eyes::) and finally got sick and tired of everybody assuming I'm a typical bubbly blonde ditz, because I'm
not. Not that my A.D.D. helps with that image...
Whoa, this is turning into a rant almost and that's not at all what I intended. Actually, I think I forgot what I wanted to talk about. Something funny happened to me today. Damn... what was it? If you know the funny thing that happened today, please share it with me :)
Now, to the reason I'm tired. Well, I need to clarify first, I'm mentally exhausted and only slightly physically exhausted. I've been running around all day today! First, I had to go to Curves to get my travel pass because I don't want to break my exercise routine while I'm gone and ::claps hands:: because there's a Curves in Colchester, I won't have to! Then I had to go to Target for some girly thing and to search for a winter coat.
I went to Target, Old Navy, TJ Maxx, JC Penny, Elder Berman, WalMart and, finally, Kohl's before I found a jacket! Well, a jacket I liked. I found the perfect jacket at JC Penny's - it was a pea coat that was pink with blue, green, yellow, purple, and orange plaid-like stripes. It was insane and so me! But they only had small left and so, with some disappointment, I had to move on. I found a coat at Kohl's, though. It's sorta ski-resort slash pea coat and it's black with a pretty green, cream and purple plaid inside. I got a matching purple scarf, hat and gloves with it. It's alright. It's cute and all but I really wanted the crazy pink jacket.
Then, I came home, ate lunch, and then began to pack, clean and organize. I've got one large suitcase completely packed and ready to go. My medium suitcase is almost packed, I just need to wait for my socks to get washed and then that bag is done. And my small bag, of course, won't be completely packed until tomorrow because that's my over-night bag with my clothes for this weekend in it.
The cleaning sucked because not only do I have to clean my bedroom but my bathroom and my sister's room as well. Why do I have to clean my sister's room, you ask? Because my TV doesn't have a DVD hookup like her's and her's is about 3 inches bigger, so it's good for watching movies and playing video games. I don't understand, though, how it got so messy when I was barely in there this month! It's not like I slept and lived in there. My room was the worst of course, but after packing I realized most of the mess was bags and books and clothes, which are easy enough to clean-up. Now I just have to dust, straighten, and vacuum and I'm done in there. I haven't even started the bathroom yet. Even though I've packed most of my makeup, accessories and hygienic items, it's still a mess! Humph.
I HATE PACKING. I'm a nomad at heart who hates packing. Unpacking is fun, funnily enough, and I like that.
I can't wait to get to my room and set it all up and decorate. I should've been an interior designer. God, that'd be loads of fun! Painting and decorating... well, I'll get to do all that when I get my own place. Now, I just have to be creative and crafty with colorful construction paper and pieces of fabric, haha.
