I have a little problem.

I have an obsession with school/office supplies. I own a three hole punch. I keep extra paper and notebooks around "just in case". I have every color post-it note ever made in every size (even some that say "A note from Rachel").

Today it manifested itself in my desire to gather and organize all of my writing utensils.



Sadly, this is just a small portion of them.


After yesterday's IKEA trip I felt inspired to get my room back in shape.

This is my little tealight lantern I purchased from IKEA. I bought enough tealights to light a small village for a week to go along with it. I believe now I have to get some more tealight holders so I can use up my 125+ tealights a little faster.


I put new pictures in my frames.


Pops has been complaining about someone in the house eating all of his PowerBars (who would do such a thing?), so today I picked up some of my favorite flavors from work. When I came home I asked where I could put them where no one else would eat them and Pops told me to put them in my room. This goes against EVERYTHING I was ever taught. When I was little I wasn't allowed to eat in my room let alone stash food in there. Most kids stash candy or junk food or even drugs. I have a stash of power food.


On Sunday my mom let me pick out some flowers from the store. In true Rachel style...


I split them up and half of them are in the living room and half in the kitchen.
Funny how lighting changes coloration so much.
