I know I’m delinquent with a couple of post (I’m looking at you, half-written SPF post), so I just want to apologize for the delay.My much anticipated move has been a bit, er, bumpy. In addition to the normal headaches of moving, I lost a beloved pet to heart failure in the UHaul on the way here.  So, yeah, traumatic move.

That aside, my Internet only got connected late last night, but I’m still drowning in boxes, UHaul’s own screw ups (never let them put a hand truck rental on a separate contract from the truck) and just random “get the house set up” nonsense.

I’ll be posting more soon, I promise.

I will take the aqua, please.

Ah, the joys of moving.  One week in my new apartment, the couch has arrived.  The TV is installed (my first flat screen!).  My darling, little dining table has arrived.  Every major piece of furniture is arranged, and yet I looked around last night and the place looks…well…bare.  The reason hit me suddenly; in my dash to purchase new furniture, I had forgotten the most important element of redecorating: ACCESSORIES! D’oh!

I need art, vases, pillows, flowers and I need them ASAP people.  I can’t live surrounded by bare, white walls. Fortunately, I just discovered that my favorite West Coast home furnishing store, Z Gallerie, now takes internet orders. Thank.God.
