I...I had an extra room/nursery in my old house too. I even got as far as building bookshelves and putting all of my kids' books on them. Then it was really painful to dismantle it all and pack it up when we sold the house. It was really only ever used as a storage room anyway.<br /><br />But this rental house with this living room in this small town fits my actual life much better! It's the life I am living, not a life I am waiting for.<br /><br />And yes, the pizza was a great surprise! A couple of days after this post, when I got my second vaccine and didn't feel so well, my boyfriend made me some orange juice and a really awesome sandwich. Then today he surprised me with a smoked brisket of all things. Yes, I think I'll keep him around. ;)Infertile Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11033358612204465661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354761566702250657.post-66953432187508060792021-05-05T16:21:57.969-07:002021-05-05T16:21:57.969-07:00This makes me think of that spare bedroom at our o...This makes me think of that spare bedroom at our old house that was supposed to be a nursery but never was, and never really got fixed up properly either... right to the day we moved out, it was mostly furnished with dh's cheap student apartment furniture and other castoffs. Our condo has a second bedroom, but we turned it into a library/office, and we get far more use out of it than we ever would with a spare bedroom (nobody has been to visit us from afar since 2008!). If & when we do get out of town guests, there are two guest suites in the building available for rent at a very reasonable rate (much cheaper than any local hotel!). <br /><br />Anyway, so happy to hear you have settled in so nicely... and that your boyfriend surprised you with pizza. :) He sounds like a keeper! ;) loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354761566702250657.post-42479129480005411572021-05-02T13:50:21.540-07:002021-05-02T13:50:21.540-07:00Thank you!!

I AM happy. 2021 hasn't been any easier than 2020, but I am so freaking thankful for all of the tough decisions I've made and all of the hard work I've made myself do. Now I can enjoy my living room, on my own or with my awesome boyfriend. :)))Infertile Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11033358612204465661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354761566702250657.post-68243700911889248202021-05-02T05:23:08.009-07:002021-05-02T05:23:08.009-07:00This is so beautiful!

And what a guy--I love your impromptu pizza party! I'm so happy you're happy. You deserve these joys!

I love when I clean up my living room for visitors - it feels clean and empty and luxurious and perfect! So I can guess that you feel like that times 100!Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.com
