how late is too late for a housewarming party?

is five years too late?

my house turned five last week and i let it slip past me.

five years old... and this is how i treat it.

piles.  crafts.  mail.  ribbon + bows. cords.  unfinished projects.

i feel like i'm letting myself go.

the house has been good to me.

i've painted green walls, pink walls, reallly pink walls, teal walls, blue walls, and grey walls.

hired a wall paper installer.

i'm still sporting a $20 ikea kitchen table.

but paid to landscape my backyard... and i mow my very own lawn for the first time ever.

i plant seeds and reap fruits + vegetables from my very own garden.

i bought my first dust buster for this house.

and learned to change the air filters once a month.

but best of all, i control the temperature.

i freaking love this house.
