Today was…er….is, an Alexander kind of day.

You know?

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

That Alexander kind of day.

New jobs are GREAT.  Especially when they pay for you to live, and eat, and survive in a new city.

New jobs are TOUGH when you're not exactly sure what you're doing, and if you're doing it right. 
New jobs are tough when old people leave nothing and so you reinvent the wheel.

Joy.

My "Free" Wall Calendar.  Created with extra scrap squares and hung with ticky tack. :)  Joy.
I received a phone call last night.
A weird, LA number.

And they left a message.
Maybe that's the start of something new.
I told the people on the phone that I'd only been in Philly for 36 hours.
Actually it's more like three weeks.
But.
In exploring the city, 36 hours is pretty accurate.  2 dates.
1 dinner.
That's about all of this city I've seen.

I'm hoping tomorrow (my sort of day off), I'll be able to run errands, mail thank you notes, and see something else in the city besides my building, the studios, or I-95.

The entryway to my new loft :).  Double Joy.


2012 and Oil Drip Pans

Here we are.  Philadelphia.

A lot of fun.
A lot of work.
I've been busy crafting some new things for my studio apartment.
There are some exhausting and some exciting things coming up.

I started with my favorite Oil Drip Pan from Wal Mart.

and my new bedding, $40 at Walmart for my queen sized bed, plus 20 sheets from Le Target, inspired my new color scheme.



The Color Scheme:

Where to hang?  Headboard needed.  I have a beautiful exposed brick wall in my room that flanks the bed, but needs some pizzaz.

Pizzazz!

More Pizzazz!
2012-01-10 at 03:34.pngIt has been difficult to leave the Bertrams, and especially my boys, but something tells me this city has something amazing for me.
It's weird the way 2011 began with such anxiety and ended with such hope.
Hope that I think will make 2012 one of the best years ever.
When I arrived to the condo provided by my new employer, and took a look at my surroundings, I immediately felt a piece of me was home, it reminds of being at the ballet in Boston.

If you even knew?!

How many pictures I have to share of all my new adventures!

You'd freak out.

FREAK OUT!

BUT.

I can't up load them to my new work mac (which I'm working on right now).

But as soon as I sit down to my own computer, which seems like forever from now, right?

I'll load those bad boys, they include new Moroccan bedding, exposed brick walls, homemade magnetic head boards and lots of other excitement!

Most important.

~Miss the Bertrams like Whoa!
~Falling in love with the City and falling in love!
~BEST STAFF EVER.
~Majorino and Shore are my new favs.
~BEST RESIDENTS EVER. (okay, well, arguable summer '09 was the best residents ever...but you know what I mean.)
~Miss my family like WHOA!
~LOVED getting to see NINA ninners.
~Le Target Boutique and I are in a LOVE AFFIAR.
LOVE.  AFFAIR.

And finally, my "sister" who has, at times, been referred to as annoying on the blog, will temporarily relieve herself of that status by bringing me the rest of my life from Massachusetts.

Hooray.
