Happy Friday

Sad news, we thought our cable and internet situation would be fixed as of tomorrow, however, our appointment was rescheduled for NEXT Saturday, so for now, I will only be able to update and check my e-mail during the work day. It's really not that big of a deal, but I hate missing my shows! I especially hate missing The Big Bang Theory, 30 Rock, Chuck, HIMYM, and SNL. I guess I will just have to go steal internet from somewhere else! We actually have another busy weekend ahead of us, so I guess it will be good to not be distracted by the television. Tonight we are going over to Amber & Nan's new place to celebrate Brian finding a job (and leaving us all), so we are having what they refer to as A PBRty (PBR party), so that should be interesting. Saturday we plan on setting up our studio, which should be loads of fun and lots of hard work. I feel like we have a million other things to do, but I haven't bothered to write anything down, so I suppose we will just wing it! Anyway, hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

There's Just One Map You'll Need

Still don't have internet or cable at the new place, but Kyle & I have found plenty to keep us entertained the last couple of days. When I came home from work yesterday he had a blueberry pomegranate smoothie waiting for me and it was probably the most delicious thing I've ever had. We watched an episode of Angel (Smile Time), spent some time with the bunny, rented some movies at Family Video (Nowhere Boy, Easy A, Jackie Brown & Never Let Me Go). Our good friend Erin came by to see the new place and catch up a little bit. After she left we watched Easy A, which Kyle had never seen before, he seemed to enjoy it. We also started hanging some stuff on the walls. He had the day off yesterday so he went and got us a bunch of frames for stuff like my Julia Wertz panel, my favorite print from BettyTurbo & some of his Arrested Development drawings. I've been staying up way too late every day this week, so tonight my goal is to try to go to bed at a reasonable time. It's hard because he is a night owl (and so am I, but I can't reasonably go to bed at 2 in the morning and expect to be chipper when I wake up at 6:30 AM), and I am easily distracted by all the things we have left to do around the house. I think this weekend we are planning on setting up our home office/studio. I can't wait. Anywho, I am off to work on Day 2 of 30 Days Of Lists. Today's promt is: Thing I Am Good At.

Until then,
