This weekend was a huge first for me-- I officially moved into Alex's house! As in, I took all of my clothes, my nightstand, my giant board of earrings, my sewing machine, my computer, ALL of my books, my groceries, and of course, my heart, over to Alex's house. And now I call that house with the yellow door and the bull horns on the TV, "Home". Our styles are such a funny juxtaposition, but they seem to really be coming together in a complimentary and comfortable way.
On Friday night, I went to Canvas and Cocktails, which is this fabulous new class where you BYOB and create a painting inspired by a certain artist in 2.5 hours every Friday night. I love it, and as someone who is aware of her lack of major painting talent, I have decided that I am a genius. So far, we've done Van Gogh and Wayne Thiebaud, who does lots of yummy looking cupcakes and pies and such (and whom you would probably LOVE, Anna). For the Thiebaud class, we even got to use medium, and being a medium virgin, I was totally enthralled by the process and the end product! Anyway, after I showed off my mad skills with Missy, John and Nicole, we all met up with Alex downtown for drinks, which of course ended up with me drinking until 1am or so and then teetering home for one of my last nights in the downtown duplex. The next morning, I should've been sleeping until noon, but instead I woke up at 6am from excitement! I went to McDonald's and got a breakfast sandwich, which I haven't done in YEARS, and of course, a diet coke, and then I went to pick up my boss's ancient golden retriever, Truman, for dogsitting duty. We went home, he ate some peanut butter with pills hidden in it, and I started packing everything in sight. Around 10am, I finally woke Alex up. We moved tons of stuff (with my Dad's help) and then I spent the rest of the afternoon unpacking at his house. Then I went home, did some homework and promptly fell asleep at 8:30pm. I'm a party animal.
The next day, I did most of it all over again, except that I slept in until 7:45 am this time. The house is really starting to come together and I'm excited about all of the stuff Alex and I have managed to give to Salvation Army, too. Once again, I wish I had an iPhone or some other intelligent piece of versatile electronics so that I could've taken some pics and easily posted them on here. But I don't, so I didn't because I couldn't. I guess I'll have to do a big unveil next week or something when everything is actually in its rightful place. Until then, please know that I am steadily toiling away at the endless task of organizing a house into a home for Alex, Isaac, and I.
