phinnia: smiling dolphin face (the size that counts)
phinnia ([personal profile] phinnia) wrote2008-12-01 11:08 am

i know; i can't believe i'm alive EITHER.

despite rumors of my demise i am, in fact, alive. we are now mid-move; i am at a coffee shop around the corner from the new apartment; cats are in new apartment; Chris is at the old apartment. Child is at school and will be dropped off at new apartment afterwards.

I am dead tired, insanely sore and physically exhuasted. but i think we did manage to do it. <3

Thank you [livejournal.com profile] arjache and [livejournal.com profile] hithah, again, for being so very awesome and helping us pack; we couldn't have done it without you (i mean that).

things new apartment has that old one does not:


  • dishwasher
  • washer/dryer
  • lots of bathroom storage
  • amazingly spacious closets
  • gigantic cupboard/counter in dining room
  • lots of closets
  • carpets (that could be good OR bad. all white carpets. huh.)


i am not going to be able to catch up on my flist; please leave a comment and tell me what's gone on in the past few days, because I do love you all. <3 (I mean that. I do.)

(and if someone could make me a bunch of icons from this set of pictures I would love you possibly more. OMG Olivia Wilde == HAWTNESS.

*smiles*

It's not very good, I'm afraid, but here's one tiny icon to get you started and celebrate your new space:

Olivia Wilde

Direct link here.

Edited because I copied the icon to a different file.

I'm about the run off to school for several hours, but I like making icons so it'd be no problem this evening if no one else on your talented f-list has by then. She is quite easy on the eyes! I can even add text and whatnot. Ack, gotta run!

How many times have you moved this year?

Oy, hope things aren't too completely draining. *hugs*

And totally agreed on the Olivia Wilde piccies: never mind icons, I say there's enough fodder by now for a Thirteen/OW moodtheme!

I suffer from acute apartment envy

because we have no dishwasher (well, except for Abby) and our washer broke last week :(

Kenny, to school nurse, on why he has been so good the past week in school, "Hyperactivity hasn't got me anywhere in life. It just got my finger cut off."

Have a good day!

...all WHITE carpets? Area rugs, stat!

Washer and dryer, yay! Closets, yay! Excellent!

I had a good but thoroughly exhausting Thanksgiving and now I'm sick. Bah.

I must concede that Online is distinctly not so good. It's damn close, and comfy, but... yeah. I only tolerated the coffee because it was RIGHT THERE.

On the plus side, you are as close to the brand-new Vivace location as you are to the Broadway QFC, and the new Vivace is way more wheelchair-friendly. (the old one was, but lots of annoying twists in the entryway.

I'll just ignore my art homework and make some icons now :D (I'm happy that other people like Olivia Wilde as much as me <3)

Check my new entry!

Yay for great new apartment! Yay for Phinnia being back!

[identity profile] cindy-lou-who8.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay. :)

White carpets. Uhhhh ummm, that would be a disaster if it were me. I'd spill something on it in about 13 seconds.

i am jealous of your dishwasher! i'm glad the move went well, tho. (and you didn't forget either the cats or the kid. :D )

when you get a chance, please to be leaving your shiny new address here so i may send you a winter holiday card with snow. :D

I'm so pleased for you! Closets rock. You might want to get some sort of preemptory ScotchGuard-esque spray for the rugs. White scares me.

(My only news is that I lost my job this morning: laid off. Oh, well. It'll be fine.)

*totally gets sidetracked drooling over the awesomeness that is Olivia Wilde* OMG ASFKAVAWEQAE$%Q%$#@$#%@# drool.

Huh? I had a point? Hello. You're pretty. *cuddles you and drools more with you*

Hi. I had been going to say something to you, but fibrofog has eaten my brain, and you showed me shiny Thirteen awesomeness. Hopefully I can remember what I was going to tell you later.

I lust after an icon from this pic. Goodness, she is so beautiful.

Congrats on getting moved in!

Not much of note going on - although there is a random song waiting for you, should you want to snag it. :)

[identity profile] mirrormargaret.livejournal.com 2008-12-02 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
YAY! YAY! YAY!

Moving is. the. worst. Thank God y'all are surviving.

Big closets ... ohhhh ...

Um ... where do you keep your snailmail addy again? Can't find it. (Again.)

xo!

ps--What's been going on the last few days on my LJ? Nothin'. Posted today, otherwise nothing for over a week. Easy reading. ;)

Congrats on the move, and I'm glad you survived it. I truly hate moving, but it sounds like your new place is nifty.:)

We're fine. Rachel had her bi-annual neuro-psych exam last Wednesday, and her annual MRI on Friday. She also left her new winter coat at the hospital on Friday, and they haven't found it yet. I doubt they will.:/

Anyway, results on all test should be back in a week or so, and I'll try and remember to update.

*hugs*

I made you presents! 12 presents!
