Being domestic.

Yesterday, Sean and I rode the bus for about an hour to get to the biggest shopping center in Rome. It consists of an Ikea, a mega-grocery store, a fully-loaded mall and a Target-like store. Sean has never felt the need to make any of his homes "cozy" or "more homey". Being a supportive boyfriend and out of a genuine interest in this domestic mission I was on, he came along. After a good 5 hours, we had all the necessities that would make our new home warmer, along with 2 new pairs of boots that I decided I couldn't live without. As the day wound down, we lugged our goods on the jam-packed, hour-long bus ride home. The apartment is now equipped with everything we could have needed - from candles and rugs to a pink shower curtain and hangers. Next weekend, may have to be dedicated to more boy-like activities.
