rearranging rooms again. :)

I am rearranging my bedroom today and the living room will happen soon.

As I was working last night I got sad thinking "well, here I am, arranging another man out of my life" because I put away some thing that were remembrances of trav. I was hoping that this time I wouldn't have to arrange him out, that it would be permanent. But after a few months of not much communication with him this year I had to admit that, after a really great start (lots of phone calls, seeing him several times a month even though he was travelling)things were trailing off and he "just wasn't into me" enough to put in the effort.

Then I realized, I wasn't rearranging as a reaction to a guy being gone (like I used to do)..because I ended it with him before the holidays and I had LOTS of time to do "cleansing" while I was off that week. I am just ready for something different and had some new ideas about what I wanted in my room. Clearing out things that are memories of him is just something it's time to do. I'll put them away. He's not a bad memory, there was a lot of good that came out of it...he thought highly of me and knew I could do/be anything I chose to do/be.

So, it is different this time around. I don't hate him...as a matter of fact I still love him for who he is, he's just not for me.

I found and ordered the "PERFECT" tables for my living room last week. I decided, after years of mix and match stuff, I wanted matching end tables in my living room. LOL...they should get here next week. I'm excited.

Anyone else doing "rearranging" around the house?

It's all good...I'm ready for a New Year.

I too have never had a matching bedroom set. i have my parents dresser from when i was a child. guess it's an heirloom (or the start of one) and my roommate/boyfriend left me his full size bed with no head board. i did have a beautiful almost new king size bed with head board with my exH but i didn't want to sleep in it after the divorve so i gave it away after i got it out of storage.
i've been re-arranging the house too since my roommate/boyfriend moved out last week. Took down our pictures and moved some stuff around since it's only me and DS now. Made me feel better about him being gone. Plus we live in a house the size of a cracker box so it's easy for things to get messy in this little house.

It is the least I could do...when I was at my whiniest and a total mess trying to date, there were people here who helped me see my way through that and to where I am now. Dating CAN be hell. OR you can just laugh your A&& off!


Thanks hon
