Oct 31: New Place! Boo!

Alllll my stuff is in the new place now!! yay!

Oct 30: oopsies

Oh ikea... your products are so stylish & functional. But, why must everything require an allen wrench! I have a bajillion at home, but like a goof, I packed them all up... before disassembling my bed! A phone call to dma, a google map search & a trip to Shucks (or whatever it is called now) and the crisis was averted. phew!

Oct 29: 1st Latte


Ohhhhh wow. First latte in the new car. Scary!

Oct 28: Almost Halloween!

I found this lil punkin while going through stuff at my house... in my Christmas decorations. Of course?

Oct 27: New View


I totally dig the new view out my office window ;)

Oct 26: tick-tock


oooo! These are the keys to my new car!!!

Oct 25: Loaf Luv

Look at this cute little Tillamook Cheese Loaf of Love VW bug! I used the Retro Camera app on my phone to get the old school effect.

Oct 24: Really?

Really car dude? I don't think so.
try again.

Oct 23: Peekaboo Chair


I really really like this little chair!

Oct 22: Sunrise

What a beautiful cloud day!

Oct 21: Guh-narly

When I was a kid, my uncle would say stuff like "guh-narly" all the time & it always made me laugh. I noticed it on Corbin's milk today & took a quick little pic.

Oct 20: Ie shred


As part of my de-junking the casa, I spent my spare time shredding some old, old, old paperwork. ohmygosh, like, sooo much fun! ;)

Oct 19: Botan?

I think that dma and I *tried* to get some fall color from the botan after work, but ran out of daylight? hmmm..

Oct 18: Emerald City Trick or Treat


According to Kong 6/16 according to Zagat (I think?) Seattle is the best US city for trick-or-treating! I was too late to snap a pic of the top cities, but managed to get this one of the top Seattle neighborhoods. So, bundle up the kiddies & head to Wallingford! (p.s. isn't my living room a big, big mess? I am in the middle of packing & my poor living room looks terribly upset).

Oct 17: Hot Chocolate!


Apple Cider is nice this time of year. Coffe is always my friend. Tea has its place in the cupboard, too. But... there is just something so soothing about hot chocolate; it is especially perfect when you feel crummy.

Oct 16: Look What I Found

I guess my kitchen was too big for me... I had this drawer that I never used. Weird.

Oct 15: Amazing. Truly Amazing


Yay! All the reports are in! Keyed & Checked, too! Amazing. Truly Amazing!
(thanks New Dan for your helpful assistance! Awesome, per usual!)

Oct 14: Vintage


Beleive it or not, this old school stapler is still in use in my office. In fact, I use it at least once a week! It has its quirks (you have to push down on it twice) and I think it may be older than me? I think it is pretty cool & I like the look, so for today's picture, I snapped a quick pic with my Evo.

Oct 13: Antenna...na

I used my retro camera app to take this picture of dma's tv... digital antenna style.

Oct 12: clickclickclickclickclick

Check out this collection of old cameras at the Mt. Vernon Goodwill... seeing all of these at once was rather humbling... think about all of the family memories, birthday parties, random bbqs , proud graduations, and cheesy touristy travel pictures that have been captured on these devices. One of these may have inspired someone to move up to an slr & become a pro! Is that Awhizzl's Canon? hmmmm....

Oct 11: I'll take this, too


I loooooove the design of this pillow. I'll take one. no, two.... no, just one. Merci.

Oct 10: I'll take it!


I saw a cute nightstand at World Market today... this sign pretty much confirms its cuteness...

Oct 9: Busy Little Dude

Katie & co. went to Oktoberfest this weekend, so I got to hang out with my favorite little guy again! We hung out at the children's museum in factoria from 1-5pm. Crazy, huh? It was cool, though, because for four hours I didn't have to worry about him touching things he wasn't supposed to, or breaking things, or climbing on things he shouldn't.... I just had to keep track of him in darting around in the sea of parent & kids!

Oct 8: New Kitchen!!!!

So, I signed my new lease today! Isn't my new kitchen pretty?

Oct 7: $10 obo


Hmmm, what else can I sell on craigslist? Maybe this medicine cabinet? I took a close up shot of the damaged corner. neat.

Oct 6: Blah


Well, I didn't do ANYTHING interesting today. I woke up with a horrible headache & sore throat.... I figured my wonderful little nephew shared some of his preschool germs with me. Great. So, I ended up staying home from work, which isn't cool because it is a bit of a super busy time right now. blah. I took this picture of my dresser though & posted it on craigslist... this thing was super-duper popular & I ended up with, like, 12 inquiries!

Oct 5: Stay Classy

Man, having a smart phone is cool. In the past, when I redecorated, I had to remember where I saw things, how much they cost, what the dimensions were, and all that good stuff. Now, with the help of my Evo, I can keep a list in notes of places I have been, take pictures of things that I like & search for said items on craigslist.

Oct 4: Rug-na


After work today, dma and I went to ikea. I was looking for design ideas, he was just along for the ride. (thanks, man, for enabling me! lol) I found this nice gray rug for $20. I think it will be great in my new den!

Oct 3: Cleanin' Out

Wow. Today was crazy clean out the house day! Katie came over & helped me let go of things that needed to be let go. I took allll this stuf to the Goodwill!

Oct 2: Couple of Cuties


Katie & Corbin looking soooo cute at Kim & Drew's wedding. Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs.!

Oct 1: Are We There Yet?

This is a picture of my nephew saying "Are we there yet?" Aren't four year olds adorable? :p
