This How It Goes in the Haus of Blo

Jlo and I are having fun in the new digs. Still haven't had time to unpack the bedroom but it will happen. For right now I'm in a deep denial regarding my obscene clothing collection and the fact that it takes three closets, a dresser and a large shoe rack to house. How did Carey do it in Sex in the City? Where did all those clothes live?

Meanwhile... the lettuce I planted is growing...I haven't killed it yet!







We haven't had time to go buy coffee filters for the new coffee maker Mom bought for us (thanks momma!) so we McGuyver'ed it for a few days. God forbid we not have coffee.

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "their genius is overwhelming." And if you're my mom you're thinking, "don't ruin those oven mitts!!!"

We also started getting our Spud order. For those of you who don't know, Spud (formerly Pioneer Organics) is a grocery delivery service that brings, fresh, organic, LOCAL produce to your doorstep. It's all from farms in and around Seattle and it's all GOOD. Yummy stuff! Here's a photo of our first order:

Also, June (my bird) is really pissed about Josh moving in. How do I know? This. This is how I know:

My new rug!!



I've had my eye on a rug at Jon and Lori's store for awhile now. In a hugely, surprising turn of events, my friends bought it for me as a housewarming gift!
Thanks to everyone who pitched in. In addition to truly making my day you also took quite a bit of my breath away. The real gift is to feel so genuinely loved and supported by your friends. Thank you, thank you, thank you...

You Haven't Lived Until You've Covered Your Do's and Don'ts

I love Vice magazine. I religiously follow the "do's and don'ts" section. Over the years it's been the unfailing source of a good belly laugh every single time. Here's a taste of some new favorites. If you want to check out more go to www.vicemag.com"This is like the greek nerd version of those Wild & Crazy Guys but with less wild and crazy and more BO."



















"Asian dudes are already starting at a machismo disadvantage. Throwing girls’ jeans and a pink purse into the mix is like putting a bonnet on a baby panda."

















"DO NOT approach a robot or a mime or a guy in a costume that the party promoter hired to liven things up. You will bomb. It’s like the Bermuda Triangle of riffing and, once you’re in it, the only way to get out is to physically assault the thing."

Thanks!

Thanks to all who came out for my art opening! The turn out was fabulous! It was lots of fun (I hope to do it again sometime soon) and I have no pictures because I just plain forgot to take any. All you need to know is, A)lots of people showed up, B) 10 bottle of champagne disappeared in 1 hour and C) I didn't look hot because I had an eye infection. NOT PINK EYE. Although everyone who shook my hand had an "oh dear. pink eye." look on their face.

We got the keys to our new apartment today! It's big and beautiful and when we were done cleaning out our cars (packed with boxes) we laid in the backyard. It was 85 degrees today -totally and completely fabulous. Boy wearing a blond wig and a hot pink dress kind of fabulous.

I WILL have photos of the new place as soon as I find my camera... sometime after Monday when the movers come. Yay for hard laborers; you do everything I can't and if you do it quickly (don't scratch the table!!!) Momma will give you a big tip. Yep. When it comes to movers, I'm pretty Southern about it.
