I'm in my mostly vacant house, having spent the afternoon and much of the evening here taking care of installations and bids for various projects. It's all kinds of responsibility and it's all kinds of exciting. Although scary. Because GROWNUP.

But things are pretty good, because Ollie is here with me. We're having a sleepover tonight. Unfortunately we have to trek back to my downtown apartment that feels more like a hoarder house every day as I continue my chaotic attempts at packing. I have, probably unrealistic, hopes that Ollie is going to finish the job for me while I sleep tonight.

And now, please enjoy some Pictures and Distractions. (And please feel free to follow me on the Instagrams and the Facebooks).

Living room in my new house. More pictures to come next week.



Delivery guys taking apart my refrigerator to get it to fit through the narrow kitchen door.


The best part of my work week was getting to watch Baby Einstein with Annie's child while she went to a meeting. (And taking this staged selfie).


Texts with Matt.


Ollie after his haircut! (Photo stolen from Matt's Instagram).
