I love Goodreads, but I'm definitely going to have to check out more of these. Also: SHADES OF GREY! I am dying - literally DYING - for Fforde to release the next one. (But that's generally true of him in all his series...he's great and everyone should read him! End commercial.)

I am blessed to say that I haven't had a relationship that ended badly - in tears, of course, but never with hurtful words or acrimony. So I've had no qualms about keeping mementos - a couple stuffed animals that make me smile, notes and birthday cards, and certainly pictures. Those boys were important parts of my life, and being able to look back on those relationships has helped me grow, correcting behaviors and maturing into who I am. I'm a purger, but the box that has the sock monkey that my first boyfriend made for me for Christmas? That's not going anywhere. Sorry, future mates!

I have two - a squishy down one and a firmer poly-filled. However, only one of them is on the bed at a time, whichever I need to sleep that night. The other gets put on the floor/the in the chair till morning (or whenever I pull up my covers next). I can't stand to have the extra stuff - why create intricacy in a restful place?

We have a wonderful full-glass storm door - well, I guess it's still half and half, there is a bar through the middle, but it's very thin, and allows the glass top half to be pushed down and the screen to unscroll from where it's hidden in the top. Haven't gotten around to it yet, but once the rain clears up for good in a few weeks, I plan to paint the frame the same dark grey we have on the door. Best of both worlds!

I had a half moon red zippered tent that went over my bed when I was five(ish) - I think about that thing every week. Nothing like privacy!

I love my twin bed - it is absolutely the most efficient use of space in my multi-use room, allowed me to by a higher quality mattress than I would otherwise be able to afford, and it's plenty big enough for comfort. The only downside is not being able to buy gorgeous sheets from the luxury lines - but I really think I should be more grateful about that than resentful!

Yet another instant fan - if things don't work out with evatweed, just give me a call...

I don't really love any of the examples up there, but there was a denim covered settee from Anthropologie that has absolutely stolen my heart...here's a link to the image, anyway:

I LOVE squirrels. To the point that my college boyfriend bought me a bag of squirrel feed to lay outside my dorm room window. These are all adorable, but my favorite is the coat hook from Land of Nod - there's something very updated-Beatrix-Potter about it, and I love it.

Two things: I also make my bed while I'm still in it! And to Pi, I think they probably don't actually mean outside-temperature cold (because that's nuts), but my puppy and I snuggle up with the thermostat around 60*, and he's pretty happy about it. He likes to burrow down under his covers, too. :)
