Furniture Shopping

I just got back from a major furniture purchasing bender. I operated under two theories: (1) the "it's about time theory" as in, I'll be "over 30" in a couple of days so it is time to lose the "I just graduated from college and have furniture to match" look that I have going on, and (2) the "field of dreams theory" as in, "if I build a better bedroom, "he" will come." So, on those theories, I just purchased an entire new set of bedroom furniture. I have been talking about doing this for years now, so it's about time I bit the bullet, so to speak, and went for it.

After I did the deed, I realized why I put it off for so long. I think in the back of my mind, I didn't think it would be fun, and that it would depress me as being yet another major life purchase I'm making on my own (again). Turned out that it's a shame I put this off for so long as I have never enjoyed being single more. I didn't have to consult with anyone other than me. On anything. If I liked it, I bought it. No compromises. 100% my style. It felt fantastic to just do it all my way. So I thought I'd share. Not my most enlightening post, but sometimes I'm surprised by what I didn't realize was a silent non-motivator.
