MoM-Museum of Megan

Although I have repeatedly assured them, Mom and Dad have requested evidence that I am not living in a bamboo hut in the jungle.  Sometimes it feels like I am, with the amount of mosquitoes and ants that I encounter in my living space.  So far I have lived in two rooms in the house.  My first room, The Cave, was on the first floor, next to the kitchen. Benefits: Good AC, close proximity to the kitchen, and no stairs. Drawbacks: There was a leak in the ceiling, cave ambiance, and a window looking out on a cement wall.

Before my friend Diane left, I called dibs on her room, also known as the Temple of Light, and moved up there the day after she left. IT. IS. AWESOME. It has windows on two sides and one of them looks out onto the second floor balcony. I never knew what all the fuss was about when people would talk about natural light, but it really does make a huge difference in a space.

Before I start expounding on the amazingness of this room I would like to take note of one major drawback of the whole house. Tile floors. The entire house is tiled from top to bottom and I feel like I'm living in a bathroom. I've never missed carpet so much in my whole life. Just yesterday I was making my morning coffee in the kitchen, when I slipped on the tile, bashing my pinky toe into a cement corner. It's now a vibrant shade of purple. Let's hope it doesn't fall off.

 Anyways, my new room is absolutely fantastic. I wake up naturally at around 7 a.m. when the morning light pours in through my windows.  The room has great energy.  The main wall was frighteningly blank when I moved in, so I have taken up drawing to fill it with pictures of the people, places, and things I love and miss. Unfortunately I can't draw faces on people, so it looks like an exposition of an Amish family. My apologies to those of you who have been showcased.

As my internet connection is terrible, I will be uploading more MoM pictures later.  I love and miss all of you!!!
