kitchenista

Well well well,
betcha didn't know I can design amazing kitchens.
Yup,
I drew ours up last night. Exclusively ours...for our upcoming home we've been drawing up in our heads. It's almost too amazing to exist so we just figured we'd hang a picture of it in our appartment under the gay's.

Living this way is nice.
Especially when EVERY SINGLE time you turn the shower on, someone turns theirs on upstairs within 3 seconds. It's seriously disturbing.
So, we've decided to stop showering. Sponge baths at the kitchen sink are new and cooler than you think they are.

it's slick outside

I fell down the stairs yesterday while doing the laundry.

Be Careful Out There

wait...we live by the mountains?

Okay, for all of you who know me...I am AWFUL with directions. I could be in Japan, and think i'm close to home ( as in 15 minutes away) because the street looks familiar. I would NOT survive if left out in the wild. And all the sudden, I'm driving today and I say "WHOA!!! I had NO idea those mountains were so close!!!" Are you kidding? I've never seen the mountains. Perhaps it's because we have been in a foggish state for about a month that leaves us breathless and dirt-filled lungs. hmmm . I get it. It's not that I never knew we lived by the mountains, I have just forgotten after all this time of living in a dirty mist filled wonderland. And WE ARE FREE!!!! the weather is just so beautiful I could yell yippee from my driveway front door.
Oh heavens, thank you for opening and spilling some freshness.

weather report...

Well, we saw Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and it's splendid. I have decided that it is more likely we will have meatballs fall out of the sky before the snow flakes fall. Additionally, Groundhogs Day is happening (like the movie) becasue EVERDAY the dang weather guy says, still smoggy, still red day, still having health advisories, and NO snow coming anytime soon. BUT there is a storm coming up in a couple days that will happen over night and you may not be able to see, hear, or feel the potential rain BUT it may lift some of the inversion away. BUT don't worry because by the time you wake up, the inversion will be building again:) oh geeze, i've never seen such lame, boring, and unexciting weather reports last so long. I swear there is nothing new to talk about yet they discuss the weather every 5 minutes. Like any of us need to know about the updates. All we know is that you can't really breath when you go out which means you can't run (i'm dying here) and limit your driving. how do you limit your driving when you can only get places by driving because you will die if you walk. oh man oh man oh man. SO i expect the bad inversion to turn the air into meatballs before we see any snow.

Going back to school is a nice thing. it makes you feel smart and you get smart and your brain cells swell with knowledge and happiness. Especially when you get to do an internship at an old person Senior Center. How wonderfully exciting. Graduation will be nice, but I don't really want to graduate because what will happen when my brain cells shrink up?? My face will suck inward through my nose and then I really won't get a job!!! OH brother...So, I will buy those books you get inbetween 4th and 5th grade to challenge your math skills as you prepare for the next level...I'm going to do that after I graduate so I won't go unsmart.

It's almost Valentines ..

DOUG

Just informing everyone that Doug, our nice tree, is doing well. He got a little dried up from the heater in one small spot, but now that the vent is shut- he seems to be thriving. We are having open houses anytime you want to see him. We have an award winning 10 ornaments and no tree topper. it really is worth looking at. Aren't the holidays glorious...

christmas prep

Well, Thanksgiving was great and now that it is over--it's time for christmas!!! we got a tree yesterday, and you know what the best part about setting up a live tree as newlyweds is?? clipping the big ol' branches with pliers because we have no yard supplies. it's cool because the little pieces of branches go flying across the room as you finally cut through the other side and your fingers are exploding becasue you have to squeeze the pliars so hard. you see, pliars are not meant to cut tree branches. they are built for wire. So we put colorful lights all over and 10 ornaments, which are mostly cowboy. oh, by the way, our trees name is Doug and he drinks a lot of water. Good tree, he know's it's good to drink water. anyway, we even have a beautiful tree skirt with presents on top. Lovely, Happy holidays
