LMG, OMG.

Little Man George and I had an early morning, on the way to school kinda of conversation this morning.

I miss the heck outta that child.
It's insane.
Technically, I miss the heck out of the Bertram's, but LMG and I.
Well, you know.
"That's why she's so awesome."

Every sentence he started was, "Do you remember when?"
And then he'd have a funny story.
Half of them I remembered.
Half of them, I'm not really sure LMG even did.

But I j'adore that child.

"Do you remember that movie that had that big thing like, a big purple monster?"
"Sort of."
"And do you remember, when it was like, I'm going to…GRRRRRROWL!?"
"Um, sure."
"That was pretty cool, wasn't it?"
I die laughing.

I watched an episode of Modern Family for like 5 minutes today.  
My supposed day off.  
Which is really code for: your boss will come over at 9am, you're not dressed, not showered, in dirty pi's, and making appointments.

Great times.

Anyways, Lily had a funny part and Cam was laughing at her and it reminded me of LMG.  And how everything that child says is hysterical.

Hys.  Terical.

And I miss him.

I had a pretty great night with some of my residents.  We had a s'mores and would you rather night.  Tonight, I think we'll play…mafia perhaps?

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.
