random thoughts

Ever feel like everything is well with the world? Like everything is aligned and it's just wonderful? That's how I felt this weekend. My mom's house is almost finished. It's a dream come true to have it done. There were times that it seemed like it would never happen. It took three months to build the house, a few hours for Katrina to devastate it, and almost a year and a half to rebuild it.

It was quite fun to be able to redecorate the house. Honestly, I never thought this would happen, but the house actually looks better now than it did before the storm. I will NEVER be grateful for the storm and never be happy that it happened, but at this point, when we obviously cannot retrieve the momentos and everything else we lost, it seems like some good has come from the situation. The house at least got a facelift. My room is purple with a white trim. I tried to go for a dreamy look because it is a dream for me to finally see this completed. I have a white canopy bed, and I never had one before, even though I've wanted one since I was young. Everything, closet doors, etc. is either white or purple. On the wall, I'm putting black and white pictures of dreams, mainly places that I enjoy. I have a matted black and white collage of NYC pics so far.

I thought of a really great blog topic earlier today, but I was walking and I cannot seem to recall it. Anyway, I think it would be a great social experiment to say exactly how I feel one day. There would be no sugar-coating of anything. When people asked me if I minded, I would say, "YES I DO!" It would be similiar to the movie Liar, Liar, except I would be simply expressing my thoughts in my mind. I think in one day, I would get people mad and nobody would like me that encountered me that day.
