these look more boring than they are, I promise

I guess this doesn’t make me look like a very adventurous person, huh?
I picked out the paint colors for my loft today. View it on flickr for the details on what’s going where.
I guess the other exciting news for today is that I exchanged my Brita pitcher so I now have yummy filtered water chilling […]

it’s mine!

I closed on my loft yesterday…woo hoo!
It was kinda anticlimactic, to be honest. Maybe it’s because I’ve gone through the homebuying process before, or maybe it’s because I literally rushed back to work right after closing for a meeting, or maybe it’s because I’m not able to move my furniture in for another week and […]

it’s only wednesday?

Tagged home workIt feels like it should be Friday already.
But I have my final walkthrough tomorrow (Thursday…today…it’s after midnight….whatever)–so here’s hoping they’ve taken care of everything from my initial walkthrough.
Then my closing is set for Friday…yay! I still need them to tell me how much money to bring so I can go get a cashier’s […]

god grew tired of us

Tagged homeless moviesI totally forgot to include this in the mini-update I posted a moment ago. Last night I saw a fantastic, moving documentary called God Grew Tired of Us. I truly believe everyone should see this film. It’s enlightening and very grounding. I feel so fortunate and grateful for the life I am living, […]

this is going to be a late night

Tagged celebrities, home runningI can just feel it. I have a lot to do before I hit the sack.
Just wanted to share a few updates though. I went to my first official walkthrough at the loft on Friday, and it went great. They came in after my last visit and found all my little blue […]

okay, here’s the story.

Tagged homeYes, I am buying a place.
As I mentioned, it’s happened very quickly, and I still kind of can’t believe it. But this will not be the immediate end of my housing dealings. I’ll explain.
Since my dad passed away, I’ve been helping Mom out with the stuff my dad used to handle (household bills and finances, […]

It’s happened really, really quickly, but I’m buying this loft next week!
I’m beyond sleepy right now, so I’ll post the full scoop shortly.

sweet girly song of the day

Tagged musicIt’s been a long, long time since I shared a sweet girly song of the day. So here you go.
Been up all night staring at you
Wondering what’s on your mind
I’ve been this way with so many before
But this feels like the first time
You want the sunrise to go back to bed
I want to make you […]

whistler trip report

Tagged travel whistlerNow that I’ve had time to get settled back into the real world—you know, work, doing laundry, and all that jazz—I guess I’ll finally write up my recent trip to Whistler.
Warning: this is really long.
On Christmas night, I packed up my bags and went to LS’s place to crash for the night. I […]

headed home

Tagged cameras, entries travel
I’m at the hotel in Vancouver getting ready to head home today.
This was the last photo of the trip, taken yesterday after my last run at Whistler. Then my camera broke! So no photos from our miserable five-hour bus ride to Vancouver (the usual trip is only 2.5 hours, but […]
