Changes All Around Us

I don't know what the deal is with this time of year but there are so many changes going on! It seems as if everyone-and-his-mother is getting married, moving, or expecting a kid.
Please share your excitement with me and let me know what wonderful events are happening in your life!

Why I Love Craigslist

Last weekend I found a bed on Craigslist. It turns out the person who posted the ad was only a couple blocks away.
Josh offered to help me move it. We hopped into my car, drove two blocks, and piled the mattress and boxspring on top of the roof. Josh, being the good guy he is, ended up doing most of the carrying. I, being the wuss I am, did most of the watching.

Today I saw a post on Craigslist for a trunk. You know... one of those wooden boxes that women used to store their quilts at the foot of the bed. The woman wrote back and told me she would be available to show me the trunk tomorrow afternoon and then told me she where she lived. Signs it with her name: Aspen.

Aspen lives in the apartment below me.

First Day at Work

It's been almost a year since I've worked. It was nice to be somewhere and know that I would eventually get paid. I'm freelancing for GMA. I'm really looking forward to it.

In a few days I'll post about my drive back here to New York. It was fantastic, full of adventure, and filled with blessings and close-calls all along the way.

I like my apartment. It's up in the boonies. I'm living in a Dominican neighborhood. I'm quickly recognizable as the blondie. Plus people pay attention to me when they see Watson. He's an attention hog.

My roommates are great. I'm living with 2 boys, 1 girl, 3 cats, and 2 dogs. My one roomie (the other girl) hasn't officially moved in with her cat and dog yet, so it will be even more chaotic than it already is. Thank goodness we have lots of space. The boys are upstairs and the girls are downstairs. We have a good group: an actor, a doctor, a horticulturalist, and a journalist. Should be good times.

I know. This post is not really too exciting. But I'm tired. And I felt as if I were due a post.
