Catching Up.

Yesterday I tried to cram far too much stuff into my evening, so a few things are overflowing into tonight. Luckily, I didn't get too much homework for tonight, so I'll be able to make time. I wasn't able to fit in painting my nails, so I'll have to do that tonight. (I used so quite a bit in this first paragraph!)

Anyway, what I'm really excited about finally making time to do is catch up on my magazine reading. I have the September Vogue (584 pages), the September Harper's Bazaar (I skimmed this one, but I need to read it a little bit more), the September People Style Watch, and an H&M 'magazine', all sitting on my desk, waiting to be read thoroughly.

I guess it's good that I'm taking my good old time getting to these magazines, because I've started to run out of room to store them. I cannot bring myself to part with a magazine, ever. (A few Novembers ago I did purge my collection of mostly old issues of Teen People, but since then my collection has continued to expand.) I have magazines in a magazine rack, in a giant pile on my floor (they're organized so that they don't look like a mess, they look like they belong on the floor), in a little bin, in a drawer in my desk, and a few hidden away under my bed. My room is pretty much overflowing with magazines.

I caught an episode of Teen Cribs a while ago that inspired me even further to hold on to all my magazines, just as I was considering thinning out my collection. The episode featured a girl who lived with her aunt, and her aunt had kept all of her old fashion magazines from the seventies. I think it would be awesome to be able to share all your old magazines with your future children, and I know I would've loved it if my mom had had a Vogue collection to pass down to me.
