Inspired to Post

After a month's worth of re-decorating, we finally completed 4 rooms of the house!

The first being, the "Valentine room"... The red and peach and beige room. With help from Yadi and daddy, I added the persian rug and it sort of tied everything together in that room. For a while I thought it was missing something, and I think that rug made the difference...

The second is the kitchen, that went from a muddy yellow to a warm pumpkin color that blends with our granite countertops.

The third being Yadi's room. OH MY GOODNESS, my sister is incapable of making decisions. We walked around target for about 2 hours, only in the bedding section, just looking for covers and decor for her. She is picky too, I just never realized just how picky. But she chose that and I got to choose the wall color and I donated my bedroom furniture to her. Made her a little day window complete with a cushion, curtains and blinds for privacy. Made wall decor with dishes from target, GOSH I LOVE THAT STORE, cant you tell? lol So the dull green color that once darkened her room are gone, and her room is bright and cheery. She isnt depressed by darkness anymore, Im tellin' you it was getting to her.

And last but not least, Jorge's room. He was in PR til now and we did a sort of "While You Were Out" thing lol. His room was green too, with black and beige curtains and no theme. So we cleaned out his room, (I mean, we exterminated dust mummies), bought new sheets and stuff, painted some frames blue and cream, and painted his walls. He came back today, and he loved it! Hopefully it will stay clean.

Wanna know the kicker? It only cost 250 bux total, for all 4 rooms! I am so happy. Cant wait to dec out my room and the terrace! Now all dad needs to do is get the hardwood flooring he wants and the house will be perfect! :)

Ok, am I boring you? Sometimes I get carried away with this stuff, I love decorating(it's become my passion). I mean, I may not be a designer or anything, but we all have to start somewhere right?

Well, Im out, I hope youz are doin great :)

Happy Birthday Baby <3


What is it that kept me sane at night before you? I never had someone to talk to, the way I can talk to you. It feels like so long since you came into my life, yet, it feels like just yesterday we met in that sorry little bus lol. I can't seem to remember what I was back then, before us I mean. Who knows why it me took so long to realize that the perfect man was right there, in the seat behind me.

I remember being in love with love. In love with the idea of someone to care for, to share with... someone to devote my heart and mind to. Someone who needed me, someone I needed too. I remember the times I cried because the guys I'd set my eyes on, always seemed to see through me. Pass me by like I was never even there. Back then, the world seemed so empty, because there was no one who'd have wanted to hold me close, no one who missed me, nobody who wanted to be with me for me.

I remember the times I swore my heart had been broken, but the truth is... the tears I shed before you, weren't caused by heartache. I'd been crying lonely tears all that time.

I've asked myself a million times why I've been so excited about your birthday, counting the days til today. I'm just glad you exist and that you came into my life. I am sorry I couldn't be with you today, but I will be there soon enough. I'll find a way there, I miss you so much. I love you so much.

Happy birthday sweetheart <3

Yours forever,
Zulen
{tu gordita ;)}
