serenity, please

october has gone spastically by so far (i'm picturing the "Friends" episode in which Phoebe runs). i don't know which way is up. i think things should calm down slightly in the next few weeks, but i'm still waiting to hear when i can move into my new place (a moving delay is one of the reasons life is chaotic right now). so i may be packing (again) and moving (again) at the beginning of November. come to think of it, what color should i paint my new room?

i'm not usually a particular fan of neutrals or pastels, but today this room appeals to me. it looks calm . . . serene . . . quiet. and that wonderful curvy couch might follow my favorite sleeping position (on my right side) perfectly. i also love the subtle circle pattern on the chair.

how is everyone else? i hope your weekend was relaxing. and if it wasn't, here are some things i'd like to do to catch up on rest and fill my soul again:
  1. buy a new wool coat for winter
  2. fold laundry
  3. drink a lot of peppermint hot chocolate
  4. eat cream of potato soup with melted cheese, bacon, and chives on top
  5. take naps
  6. knit
  7. daydream endlessly
what's the potato soup for your soul today?
spoons ahoy,
she.

Yes! Of course! Too many, in fact. I felt a bit ill whilst trotting home with my moustachioed jack-o-lantern!

I've been reading your blog today and I've noticed something.

You often say that you're not usually a big fan of neutrals but ...

Maybe you really do like neutrals with bursts of bright colors thrown in like that gorgeous hot pink coat.

Thanks for sharing lovely things with us ... it cheers up my dreary day.
