And here we are, about two days from move in, and I'm sort of completely packed. As I said in the last few posts, I'm a list-er, and I'm holding true to my habits by making a list of every clothing item that I've brought, and every single other piece of crap that I've (over)packed. What have you all packed so far?
I recently went to a cute little town with my mother (a spur of the moment bonding time) called Geneva (not Lake Geneva, just Geneva), and I found the most wonderful thing in the world.
An antique shop; but not just any old antique shop, a beautifully cluttered one, with reasonably priced knick-knacks, books, jewelry, old toys, furniture, etc. It was amazing.
I'm a little bit obsessed with old books, in case you couldn't tell, but here's the thing about them; they're useful, and they're great decoration. My mother has a book she bought purely because the title was pretty and the binding looked ancient; I recently started collecting them (and by collecting I mean I've got one book thus far), and to be honest, the hunt is the best part. If I had any money whatsoever, I'd totally buy this Hardy Boy's set. I've noticed with collections though, it's best to narrow your search. I'm currently looking for anything by the Bronte sisters (ie; Jane Eyre, my favorite book).
In other news, I'm currently coveting two things; one, a shrunken blazer with 3/4 length sleeves, preferably one button only and a little loose. The other? Perfect skin. I've had so many issues with mine over the years that I'm almost to the point where I've given up. I've tried over the counter EVERYTHING, and pretty much every prescription (topical and antibiotic) that you could think of, and so far, I've had very minimal results. The one thing I haven't tried and am very reluctant to is Acutane because I've been terrorized by tales from friends who have been on it; problems like urinary tract infection, yeast infections, etc...I just don't want any part in that. However, if my skin keeps this insanity up, I'm heading back to my derm to see what he says.
Right now, I'm on Retin-A Micro, so we'll see how that works...
Until next time! (Which will probably be on the way to moving in!!!!!!!!)
Love you all (there's probably no one reading anyways...)
