Can I Lay In Your Bed All Day

We have a bunk bed now. Its nice and dark and... woody or something. And yesterday I was wearing clothes that didn't match. Sue me.

I get to sleep on the bottom. Because I chose to. Despite what my siblings say. They like to insist I'm afraid of heights, which I'm not, really. I just prefer the idea of having my own little cave thing than to climbing up a ladder, banging my head on the cieling and then having to climb back down. I hung a sheet from the side so it was like my own little room sort of. The only thing is I cant stretch out and hang my feet over the bed like I usually do because theres a rail there now. I'm trying to figure out what I want to put on my beautiful clean blue walls. Both by my bed and on the opposite wall.

Oreo seems to approve.
My pillow just happens to match my wall and my sheets almost perfectly. imagine that.


we put some stickers on the wall by sarah's bed so that I can get out of putting princess boarder on my walls. it sort of kind of ish goes with the whole retro-y idea. flower power and all that xD
I guess that isnt retro, along with Queen and Pink Floyd. I have no idea what to call it. Um... older? x3 Im not sure. PEACE, LOVE AND ROCK & ROLL, MAN. ;)

Thats what I'll call it. lol. I'll get some tie-dye sheets and stuff. I'll get a "peace love and rock & roll" sign and hang it on my door :) get some lava lamps up in hurr. I'll be pimpin, yo. :D


Unfortunately for someone like me who has this issue with having my own space, everyone else seems to think they can come in here and do whatever they want, whenever they want. Having all four of my siblings running around my room screaming and making lots of noise really makes me mad. So since my desk is right by the door I yell at them whenever they try to come in :P

And Sarah has gotten the idea in her head that she is so awesome, the room belongs to her and she's just nice enough to let me sleep in it. Pshh.

You Look So Good In Blue

Sunday my mom said that since we were officially getting a bunk bed (tonight sometime) it might be a good idea to paint. My room has been this pale pink color for forever. Probably more than five years. More like eight maybe? I dont remember but I was more than glad to get rid of the dull pink color. The wallpaper (before i tore it down) had horses in a field with pink border.
We went to the store to pick out paint and I saw a page in an idea book for a retro style room, and the walls were blue. If you remember, a while ago I mentioned wanting to turn my room retro style and so I really liked the idea of blue. So i found a shade I liked. The only problem was, now that it would be Sarah's room too, and now that Sarah was a stubborn six year old, she absolutely hated the blue. she wanted it to be... well, pink. I explained that it was already pink and change was good. :P So we tortured ourselves in the paint department at Home Depot for a long time and finally gave up. We took several paint samples and booklets and then went home. I taped the samples on my wall and went to bed.

In the morning Sarah came in and we narrowed it down. I'd picked out purples, yellows, oranges greens, blues and even a few pinks. The pinks were some of the first to go. Finally Sarah points to the color I had showed her the day before and goes "I think we should paint it this color!" And I could've smacked her. She decided she liked the blue and the pale yellow and left the decision up to me. After thinking about it for a while, I picked the blue. So Monday I cleaned out my room. Tuesday my mom had surgery and later that afternoon we went and got paint. Wednesday we did the painting and I was surprised we finished it in only a day.

This was my room. Sort of. There was more crap on the walls and more stuff spewed everywhere but I didn't think to take a picture BEFORE i started so. This is as close as it gets.

I started moving things around to make room and started taking things down stairs.


stuuuuuuffff
Tuesday I slept on my bed in the middle of my room and it was freaking cold.



Then we started working on the cieling. Those white patches on the wall are places where nails had left holes and we patched them up.



we got a lot of help from Timmy, Sarah and Jacob. My dad showed them how to use the rollers and stuff.



Almost finished! I did the trims (with a short break to watch the Jonas Brothers on American Idol :P) and finished about 9:15 or so.


It was called Nevada Sky :) So I liked the name and the color, lol



Everyone thinks its so fun to run around and yell and make noise now because it echoes.
But we get the bunk bed tonight and eventually we have to figure out HOW THE HECK to fit my huge honkin elephant of a dresser in here again.

I was looking at retro posters. I saw one for gay tooth brushes xD that was pretty awesome, lol. I also found a route 66 one I would love to have. Not to mention several awesome retro band posters of bands I've either never heard of or never heard before x3 The posters were sweet but it might be weird, considering I dont even listen to those bands xD But oh well. Pink Floyd and Queen had some cool posters but I liked some of the other ones too. And Bob Dylan, who for the record, I don't really like. :P I liked the lyrics to the ONE and only song I've heard from him but I don't like his voice t all. He reminded me of a duck being strangled. He was just cute about a million years ago :P He's pretty scary looking now though, I looked him up and it made me sad for a while.



Anyways, my mom pointed out that the bunk bed is going to take up a lot of space and she wanted to get shelves for something, and my freaking dresser is gonna take up like the whole rest of the room. so Im a little nervous. Or a lot. We'll see how it goes. In the mean time I have no idea what to do with my old posters... o.o I had a couple Lord of the Rings posters up and a Jack Sparrow one too. Dont get me wrong, I love Jack and Aragorn and all them buuuut everything else changed you know? And i think it would be totally sweet to have some retro posters up in huuurr :P So yeah.

We'll see.

The Fabulous Fifties

Last night was a party for the volunteers at the nature center. Since Im a volunteer now (with paperwork and everything) I got invited.
The theme was "Fabulous Fifties" and let me tell you, it was pretty cool. ^_^
There was a room with a projector and a screen with tables set up inside and they were decorated like cars, there were even drive-in speakers and dice and everything.

They had hula-hooping, dance contests, a bean bag toss, malt shop, food, pez dispensers, candy! It was fun.

And, I've been inspired. x3
I want to re-do my room 50's (and maybe 60's) themed. ^_^
Bright colored walls (im thinking hot pink or bright blue), checkered carpet, old music posters and stuff on the walls. Old records hanging from the ceiling...
a life-size cardboard elvis. x3 Definitely need one of those, lol.

I need to get rid of some stuff. lol...

And I definitely need these.















If you couldnt tell...
Elvis fascinates me.
No idea why...
