We are almost done unpacking. It goes a lot faster in a smaller space. However, it is much more challenging. Its like playing tetris with boxes. I should have finished product pics for you by tomorrow. Especially since we have internet now. **happy dance** The day after we took possession of the apt we went…

It’s slim pickins in the city this fall. Which people have been telling me isn’t normal. So our timing couldn’t be worse. Right now there are 2 contenders. The first one I only got terrible cell phone pics. But I did manage to draw an awesomely bad floor plan. You’re Welcome. Please be aware that…

Read MorePassion for Painting
We (well, I) moved into the new house on Friday! Since the movers aren’t coming until the 28th, I took the whole weekend (and 2 days off work) to paint as much as I could. I’ve never been so amazed at my motivation. I painted the living room which took 3 coats of primer and…
Read MoreMy House = Kitty Fortress of Doom
First, let me start out by saying, packing is the bane of my existence. We have moved 6 times in the last 4 years. I’m DONE. Everything we’ve ever owned is boxed up and sitting in our living room. The cats think this is their personal fortress. As I walk in the door from work,…
