Yes.
Yesterday Emily and I painted my room. We had such a great time, I think I laughed more yesterday then I have for at least a month. We ended of doing two coats of white primer, and then two coats of this light mocha/toupe color from where else? Ralph Lauren, the best paint on earth. As I covered up those silly daisies that had lined my walls, it was so odd….it almost felt like one more step towards growing up. I chose those colors and themes when I was still a young girl, and now, while they are technically still there, they are hidden under paint and time. I guess that’s sort of how I have been feeling about myself lately, that I am getting ready to let go of some of my ‘childhood’ things. Heh, I kind of have to.

I know the feeling. When I was a little kid, I used to have a little stuffed "coyote" puppet guy, who I had named "Dakota". I remember that when I moved to my new room in the basement about 2 years ago, my mom had put him in this little basket thing and it up on top of my TV/entertainment area. One day, I just took him down and put him outside my door. It was just time to let those childish belongings go.
Definately know the feeling. Dakota's still around, just in a box in the garage, most likely. the "boxes of time" (fade-in swelling, dramatic TV movie music...)
