The Cottage is complete!

So this past holiday weekend I was able to finish painting, hanging art, and finding new homes for my stuff. Take a look. And book your next flight to come out here and see me soon!

My new cottage

I've finally moved out of what I like to call "the dorm room". I was very blessed to have found such a great living situation upon my arrival here to CA. But it was only temporary and I really missed my belongings which have been in storage since this past May. OMG.

Anyways, I was once again lucky to have found a great little place. It's a one bed/one bath cottage with an attached garage. I LOVE IT! It's perfect for me. No room for my dining room table and chairs. But it has an eat-in kitchen. I have a few more pieces of furniture to purchase. A low shelving unit, a bed frame, and a TV stand. I've already scooped them out at IKEA. This is still a work in progress. I've got to finish painting the kitchen and putting up pictures. But I'm so happy! Check out the pics!

Thanksgiving 2008

I spent the holiday with my brother Peter and his family in Portland. Too bad all of my winter clothes are still in storage, because it was freaking cold! Omg! It was a great trip. The boys are growing up so fast. They just watched the movie Stars Wars, so they are all about the guns. You'll notice in a few of the pics they were "shooting" at me. The time with them is priceless. I hope to make another trip this summer. They are also quite the cooks. They love to cut vegetables and stir mixes. I wish I had gotten some pics of their culinary skills.

Maroon 5 Concert

Last wednesday I went to a Maroon 5 and Counting Crows Concert. Some highlights:
1. We parked next to these two couples who were boozn' it up with some vino, while we rolled some Mike's hard lemonade. The cops almost got us because there is a no alcohol allowed in the parking lot or no open containers policy. That really blew. Anyways, we tried to act all normal but you'll see in the picture.. we looked wayy obvious.
2. Swedish fish are a lot of fun. Wether it's throwing them in the air to catch in your mouth or in your shirt, or putting them into your drink to gobble up later it's definitely entertainment.
3. Dude there were people wearing parkas at the concert. I mean it was chilly but not cold enough to necessitate a parka. We could have used some gloves, though. I'm ain't gonna lie.
4. Maroon 5 was freaking awesome! I was pleasantly surprised at how well they did live. Adam Levine is the hottie of the century.
5. Counting Crows were wack. It was like watching an overacted bad version of Les Meserables. The lead singer was so high, that his tounge was practically hanging out of his mouth when he sang. There were a few songs that rocked, but overall they sucked.
6. Speaking of getting high. The smell of weed was so pungent, that I was probabaly high also and didn't realize it. Which means the Counting Crows had to really suck if I was "high" and thought they sucked

Enjoy the pics!
