dazed and confused.

I have been egregiously delinquent in my blogging! That ends right now.

So...the purpose of this blog is to keep my family and friends abreast of the major (and minor) happenings of my life while I am living in California. I definitely do not get to talk to the important people in my life as much as I previously have and would like a way in which I can communicate the events in my life in an informal manner. I don't think I have talked to anyone in the past 3 weeks when I haven't been simultaneously doing some other activity (driving, studying, waiting in line, working, cooking, brushing my teeth, etc), I love you all but I have no time.

Anyway, the back story is that I started this thing a few months ago when I was about to make the transition from North Carolina to California. Unfortunately, life got away from me and I feel that it is more important than ever that I keep making posts.

First on the agenda is our apartment. Many of you have not seen pictures so here are a sneak preview of Villa Tuscany (the name of our apartment), which is actually little more than an expensive crap hole. I kid. It's really fine if somehow our extremely loud upstairs neighbors (nicknamed Pam and Tommy) could keep it down. Ever.

So here is the super cute entry way. Yes, it's adorable. And believe me...it was the nicest place we looked at. We don't have bug problems...or intruder problems...both of which would have to ring the bell in order to get in.

Here is our living room with a view into the office/bar. Please pay attention to the pillows on the couch, I made those from fabric I bought at ikea (before I started school of course, now I barely have time to bathe).

Another living room picture. Miranda - did you notice the glass on the table?! I finally found a great place for it!

Living room from a different angle. The chair in the background we got from craigslist and is the best thing I have ever bought. Love it!

The bar/desk (i.e. the place where I spend most of my time).

Another view of our dining room/bar/office which is slightly less pathetic than the last picture. On the bar is my dry erase white board where I write all of my happenings! I update it a million times a day, it's pretty sad.

The kitchen....we really don't use this room! Haha.

A picture of the two most luxurious items in our apartment - a stove and a fridge. It is basic city in California!

Our Bedroom. We need a bed skirt like woah. The white package under the bed is my wedding dress!

Alright, that is it for now. Check back later for updates and thanks for reading!
