Hitting the refresh button in September

It's been 3 weeks since we, Mr. James and I, signed the lease. The lease that goes into effect in September. SEPTEMBER! I'm not trying to wish the summer away by any means, but the whole at least having a place to live...a place of my own again would be great, or as the kids say epic. It's a medium sized place which includes a parking spot and, more importantly, a backyard; a backyard to garden in!

So, knowing that this is happening (in September) I've done what any logical person would do. I've become fanatical. I managed to save the pictures from the ad onto my desktop (sneak peek below), before they were deleted, in order to look at them and determine how things should be set up. I've tossed them into Photoshop to play with wall color. I have looked at them EVERY DAY since I first found the ad. I've checked out Ikea, Craigslist, Apartment Therapy for fun and quirky ideas, cheap frugal ideas. And I'm excited. Really excited.

Anyway, I have to wait until September. If that's not one of the most terrible sentences ever, I just don't know what is. It's like telling a kid, "you're going to Disney World....next year...ah ha ha ha ha!" Just evil.
