In A Galaxy of My Own

I’m currently at work, trying to pass time. I’m here for at least another 4 hours. The basketball game is playing so business is non-existent. I’m sitting here facing our big store front that is nothing but a big glass window. The sun is shining but I can’t help feel bitter since I’m stuck inside watching all the people pass by with smiles on their faces. I should just set up a table outside and wave to the people walking up hoping they will get served with some awesome BBQ. Sit out there with my laptop and happily blog about every person that gives me a weird look. Sounds like a great way to spend the next 4 hours.

So today’s topic of discussion is going to be about my bedroom. It is in fact the smallest bedroom in the house but I find it the most coziest. And I’m not saying that just because it’s mine. I’m saying it because it is in fact the coolest room in the house. It started out a shade of pink with some blues. It was a surprise from my parents after I came home from spending 2 weeks on my aunt and uncle’s farm. I asked for a blue room so you can imagine my surprise when I come home to find bright pink walls. It could have been worse, my twin sister’s room got painted brown.

When I turned 16 my parents surprised my sister and I with bedroom make-overs! And this time we got to design what colors we wanted. My sister chose purple and I chose…. YELLOW! I’m talking SUNSHINE YELLOW! It is awesome. The only downside to having a bright sunny room is that when you want to sleep in it’s kind of hard since as soon as the sun hits the window the entire room lights up. But you definitely wake up in an awesome mood.

My room has a lot of furniture in it for such a small space. I have a desk, 2 dressers, an entertainment center, a shelf that all my games, cds, and movies sit on, and of course my bed (with those awesome sheets).  It may be cramped but it is by far the room I spend most of my time in. I have a tv, stereo, computer (and a laptop), and a ps2 so there is always something to do.

I also have a roommate! She doesn’t invite pesky friends over or make insane messes that leave me disgruntled all the time!

This is Wicket! My peek-a-poo that we’ve had for like 15 to 16 years. She is my roommate! She sleeps under my bed and snores up a storm! She’s cuddly, cute, and loves to give kisses! Her favorite food is cheese (which gets snuck to her only on rare special occasions!) Her favorite holiday is Christmas because she too gets her own special stocking full of goodies and treats. Her birthday is around Thanksgiving and she loves to play with anything fuzzy and yellow!

I love my roomie!

The clouds are big, white, and puffy today. I love to drive when the sky looks like this. The horizons are so pretty against the contrasts of the greens of the grass and trees. And right now the sun is in just the right position that makes the sky seem like it’s glowing. It’s decided… I’m going to jump in the car and just drive off. Sounds like an awesome plan. Who’s coming?
