It's so PINK!

This image is a bit washed out... Id say the pink is more like the image below... can't count on a phone camera to take stellar photos.

Sparkly!

And then the lights come on... WOW!

Pretty In Pink

Pretty In Pink is the name of the Christmas tree I ordered today!  I was hunting around the internet for white and black Christmas tree inspiration and I stumbled upon this pink tree from Treetopia

You may ask, with a touch of horror, "A pink Christmas tree!!??!!"  I know it's a lot of pink and a bit over the top even for me and my love of pink, but as much as I tried to put it out of my mind, it would just not stop whispering "me, me, meeee!  It's meeee!  You know you want meeee"

In the end I thought that we only have our trees up for a month or two and they are suppose to make us happy and feel joy, so I gave in and ordered it.  I think it is going to look amazing in my apartment and I can not wait to start gathering up the ornaments!

Curtains!

I finally worked up the guts to drill holes into the wall to install the curtain rod.  I need to hem the curtains before the heat is turned on.  This photo was taken at night, the parking lot lights cast a warm orangish glow to the room, not unlike candle light... or at least that is what I tell myself. 

Post move in photos

Finally, sorry for the wait!

Cats and bookcases

It's been a week since I moved in and things are going well!  The small size of the apartment isn't even a tiny issue, in fact I think it's just about perfect!  Don't get me wrong, a bedroom would be great but I am not feeling cramped in any way.  The cats even save seemed to settled in.  In the entire time I have had these two boys, they have never slept together.... ever!  So imagine my surprise when I found them like this.

I am still unpacking and may take some "in progress" photos tomorrow.  I am struggling with places to put my books and the bookcases that will be perfect will have to be made and wont be cheap, but I did go shopping today at some second hand shops and look at this awesome book case I found!  That is one book case down... two more to go!

Sore

That is all - I am sore. very very sore.

Move Day - Monday August 5th

Well the actual move went very smoothly and rather quickly!  The cat sedatives worked like magic and the furry little beasts were very nearly silent the entire drive.  About an hour away from home we stopped for gas and to use the facilities and check on the cats.  When I opened the little hatch to reach in and make sure he was still breathing, Grendal thought it would be a great time to try and get out of his cage.  Even drugged he is a strong little monster!  His attempted jail brake was unsuccessful, but I did get a cute photo of his stoned little face.
