Some developments in the world of Vernaculauri:

1. It appears that I'm nesting. Making my place a bit cozier and homey-er. Like a grown up, maybe? Painting some walls, planting some plants, and contemplating wall art and curtain-hanging.
2. I'm having a meeting with a realtor this week about the possibility of maybe finding a condo, one of these days, in like a year, when I can afford that kind of thing.
3. I finally set up a wireless router. Now I can poop while on the internets, if I was so inclined. And that is true freedom.

operation: lauri gets her act together

1. Sober up. The Summer of Binging has ended. Knocking a few back on the weekends or the occasional weekday happy hour is cool. But no more boozing on a regular basis. Liver says, "stop it now, lemme breathe!"
2. Get those hips to moving and shaking again. Girl gettin laaaazy.
3. Painted walls + hanging some curtains + cooking more at home = coziness, homey-ness, and happiness.
4. Return to that mantra that starts with a "re" and ends with a "lax." Neuroticism looks tacky on you. Homegirl needs to just breathe and let it flow.
5. Get the hell outta town (Chicago, I'm comin to see you real soon).
