The small spaces setups made me wish my apartment was smaller! I wanted the MALM headboard/bed shelf just for the joy of sliding out the shelves.

I DID have the swedish meatballs! Do you know they sell them, so that you can make Ikea meatballs at home? Amazing.

I went to Ikea for the first time ever this week! It was an amazing, otherworldly experience.

I will have my M.A. degree in 2 weeks. At my mother's behest, I started grad school 3 weeks after finishing undergrad, and have been in graduate school now for, um, three and a half years. I had no idea what I wanted to do when I got here. I started on "track B", intent on completing my required classes and two…

I'm at the university library, ostensibly revising the FINAL final draft of my thesis before I turn it into the grad school to be bound, but really? I've got my eyes glued to Packers.com. 28-27 with 8 minutes to go!

I just bought this Swiss Model Down Jacket from Eddie Bauer yesterday.

The major locker accessory in my high school were birth announcements. The school's secretary kept a stack of them on her desk.

Brewers! Packers! There's so much Awesome Wisconsin this Sunday!!

LEISHA!!!!

I can't watch it. Just can't. I can't decide if I'm excited about the online thing or not. If Ryan and ... some random chick (haven't watched since the lesbian wedding that wasn't) are the only familiar faces, is Pine Valley really Pine Valley?

I already own it and am disappointed in myself that I have yet to purchase X-Men: First Class, lol.

Judging you, Cryos.

Parks and Rec was robbed.

Oh thank god, those of us in Wisconsin have something to pair with our jeans!

Hold up. HOLD UP.
