After days and days of looking we managed to find a house to rent that would allow me to keep the chickens. It took us two days but we managed to move all of our things. We still are not fully unpacked but its nice to finally have a place to settle into. I had been living out of boxes since mid may when we started preparing to buy a house. We kept getting word that the process was going to be finished soon so i kept living out of boxes in anticipation of the big move. The place we found to rent is much larger than the house we were trying to buy. I was worried that there would be too much empty space. But as it turns out, we have a lot of stuff. I appear to have a thrift store addiction, and more specifically a kitchen ware addiction. In all those boxes there was enough kitchen stuff to fill about three kitchens. Luckily for me i have two kitchens, one cooking kitchen and one craft kitchen. Lots of soap making will happen in the craft kitchen as soon as i finish unpacking.

Sorry. Life sometimes gets in the way of blogging. I just changed a few things… new look, new server, etc. There are still some things that haven’t been updated. Please bare with me for a bit.

In july i…

- Bought a bike and started biking 8 miles to and 8 miles from work. I heart my bike, and i love that it allows me to avoid the crazy people on the bus.

-MOVED. ( still in Seattle, just a slightly different part of it)

- Other things happened in July.. they were just less impressive and i like don’t remember them in enough detail to put them here.
- OH OH, i took my dreads out and now i once again have high maintance hair… and having avoiding this for the past 7 years.. my hair now someitmes makes me grumpy.

The Kills – Cheap and Cheerful

I started a bit early, 10:30 the night of the 11th. I tried on my new hightop control underwear, hightop control stockings, and my new DD bra with my red dress on top and my new black shoes on my feet. I looked hot. I poured a glass of white wine, and i walked around the house trying to find someone to surprise. I don’t normally wear dresses. It was just a taste of things to come. By 11:30 i was back in my PJs and on my second glass of wine. I argued with Cecilie about the finer points of space and time. I held my present from Deb and David in my hands fully intending to open it as soon as the clock struck midnight. Cecilie tried to convince me that my birthday did not actually begin until i went to bed and woke up again. I assured her that that was not how it actually worked, and that it was technically already 3 hours my birthday in the place where i was born. The clock turned and flashed 0:01 at me. Finally March 12th. Happy birthday to me. I opened my present, finished my wine and went to bed. I only remember thinking that the morning was going to start too soon. Hours later i woke. 30 just felt sleepy, but then so did 29. Maybe tomorrow will be different.
