crazy frog prince ottoman

rejoice!

this is one of the happiest nights of my entire life right now. the power is out for my sector of the gate and so i'm sitting in my kitchen with creamy caramel scented candles burning while i listen to the mp3's on my laptop AND IT'S FALL!! AND I'M WATCHING THE MOON RISE FROM HERE!! and then i realized i could also compose blogs in this rare ethereal state i'm in. plus, obviously i'm drinking all the beer the fridge has to offer so i'm on a big puffy cloud. i have the biggest smile on my face but i'm not even sure if that's a true statement because i can't even see my face so what the eff ever. i love you!! i love me!! this is fantastic. wish you were here. xoxoxo

clearly the power just kicked back on. :(

i want to be the girl with the most cake

you guys! i'm so sorry i've been away for so long but moving into your first house can be a total bitch, but also pretty effing awesome. i'm sitting in my hearth room sipping coffee, listening to fred 44 and the construction on s/l 96 while donny drives back and forth in his blue truck. i have the slider open and seriously, there's just way too much back sun when your house faces west. i can't even tell you. i do have the greatest next door neighbor in the entire world. his name is bryan and he unloaded my u-haul truck with his buddy when we pulled up. it took them 20 minutes to unload the stuff it took us almost 3 hours to load. so now i'm waiting for the water meter guy and 2 lawn specialists to come tell me how much money i can give them so i figured i would stop in and drop off a little blog. here are a few of the things i've been doing with myself since i moved in last friday.

• packing up thousands of boxes and moving them
• watching my family painfully load my furniture onto the u-haul
• watching bryan and ed, poetry in motion on a friday night at 10:30pm
• running around like a crazy hor for groceries for bella's christening
• rushing to the airport to pick up the california relatives, which my parents could've TOTALLY done without me and my car right in the middle of my life change
• arranging cheese and crackers
• cutting up celery and rinsing carrots
• reconfirming that church is a total load of crap and a great excuse for people to act like a-holes so they can go to church on sunday and feel better about how they didn't act right all week
• watching my extended family run rampant through my sister's house, eating all her food
• hanging with sarah, john, diane, and sharda in my kitchen on sunday night, watching the xm radio display and fist pumping a lot. you guys are really great. thanx for breaking up the crazy on opening night.
• watching encore's big 80s movie weekend at 1am in my new house.
• watching planes from my 6 big windows with all the lights off at 2am
• using every last shred of my sanity to spend all of labor day shopping with my aunt, her husband, my parents, and my cousins. i did get 4 white distressed chairs and a headboard though, but i lost it on my mom at chipotle. it was entirely jerry's doing. he pushed the very last button i had.
• babysitting bella for 12 hours on wednesday and pretty much deciding that i might not have kids. don't get me wrong, she rules. i'm guess i'm just not ready for them.
• strategizing about how i might need to move to chicago to get away from my family
• missing the dog and trees
• spending the day at some very interesting, educational places on tuesday and thursday
• dreading 2006 because i know i'm going to shake it all up. i won't be able to help myself.

so there you have it. a brief, somewhat vague summary of my week off, which i will definitely be needing a week off to rest from. it was the most amazing, worst week off i've ever had.
