Storage

I caved a little and bought two storage items for my room. One I have been wanting since the moment I saw them at World Market. I am surprised there were any left after a year, but mine was just waiting for me at the Alexandria store. We made the trip the weekend before last. It's not that far. It just feels weird to me to travel to the next state to get to a store. And Miss Nancy's GPS lady led us astray. Very astray. However, if we go again, I know exactly how to get there and all the side streets for miles. It was weird. I got sad in World Market. I saw things K and I looked at together, talked about and ate together. It upset me and I had to keep saying a mantra to keep focused on the now/positive. It still seems like such a waste to me. All the plans, hopes, just the day to day. I know things weren't going well, but to just give up, it's just hard to get my mind around. But back to storage. I spotted this ottoman at Target and just about swooned. To say I hearted it would be too light. I wanted it right then and there. But I restrained. I thought about it. Thought about space, money, etc. I do need something for my oldest cat to hop onto to get onto my bed. But was there room in my room? I weighed and weighed and finally decided to get it. I love it. I want to pet it endlessly. It makes me so happy to see my cat perched on it. I still haven't filled it up. That's great! I'm keeping library books and some yarn projects inside. I'd store more, but I don't know when my son will figure out the top comes off. For now, he is happy to bang on the top. I should take another picture once I have the bookcase full and the comforter on my bed. Miss Fluff made a mess so I had to wash it. But in this one, you can see my new pink sheets and the bedskirt.
