I won't do minimalism on MY walls.

Thanksgiving seemed to come real fast this year. I'm super excited because I'm going to the dells tomorrow. I normally wouldn't be all that excited about the dells, but the dells mixed with Thanksgiving is very exciting because my entire family goes up. By entire family I'm not just referring to my Mom, Dad, sister, two brothers and a brother-in-law. Whole family is my extended family and my extended family includes my grandparents, 12 aunts and uncles, and all their children. I think the total of all us cousins is somewhere around 25 I think more even. I love my family. They are so, so much fun. Everyone laughs a lot and it seems that as soon as one person starts laughing everyone has to out do that person and laugh harder and louder until pretty soon their is an explosion of laughter. Ahhh...I can't wait. All of us cram into a few condos like a whole slew of happy sardines and we eat and play games until late in the night. It's absolutely marvelous.

I dearly pray that the rest of the semester goes real fast. I only have about ten more days of actual class from here on out, though. I just can't wait to move into my own space and decorate it with all my quirky pictures and things but I don't like a lot of junk every where (Plus I don't have all that much stuff...) but I definitely don't want the walls to be bare. My parents are extreme minimalists when it comes to decorating walls; they just don't believe in hanging family pictures up, school pictures, or anything like that. In fact, I don't think we've had a family photo since I was two. My parents even had another kid five years ago and they still haven't taken a family photo. It's actually Kyle's (my little brother's) birthday today. Anyhow there's this website I really like called "the selby" the reason I mention it is because I was writing about decorating and this is the ultimate, indie decorum site (at least in my eyes.)

"The selby features photographs, paintings and videos by todd selby of interesting people and their creative spaces" I love it. It's basically just a whole bunch of pictures of artsy people and where they live. I especially like the most recent house featured. I love the country feel of it and how they have a ping pong table in that rustic garage and I can totally see myself painting in some little country garden and their fireplace that isn't really used for a fireplace is sweet. check it: http://www.theselby.com/
