A place store all my clothes and whatnot

Hey guys...in typical novice blogger fashion I have posted everything in reverse order. If I were you, I'd scroll down and start from the beginning. Or whatever, buck the system...see if I care! :)

Please reserve your judgement on the fact that I haven't hung anything up. I was almost there and then my roommate moved in and I had to migrate 2 rooms of stuff into one. I'm not complaining, because I'd rather have the roommate than the room...I'm just sayin'.

Just for fun, here's a picture of me freezing in my church clothes getting gas...but I have a good hat, so it's all good.

John's Room

No, I do not have a roommate named John. Here are pictures of the bathroom. I must confess that I feel very odd posting pictures of a bathroom, but in the name of throuroughness I felt that it could not very well be left out...

Okay, you'll note that the couch is on the left hand side (take my word for it). If you go straight, you would enter the bathroom. If you went left you would be in Anne's room and if you went right you'd be in mine.

Here's the right side of the bathroom...

Okay, let's be honest about it. Mostly, i'm posting this picture so that you can see my stellar organization of my jewlrey. I had a lot of fun with that. :)

On the left side there's not much to see except a towel rack. If you've never seen a towel rack before, let me know and I'll e-mail you a picture. :)

There is a SECRET CLOSET that contains the washer and dryer (it's behind the door). Cool. eh?

The Common Room...for us commoners

Moving right along in our tour of the place, after you walk through the hallway with the kitchen on the right, you will hit the carpet. This will let you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you have hit the living/family room. Please wipe your feet.

I just hung these curtains this weekend. I whipped out my drill (accompanied by many a bit) and hung the rod with the anchors and EVERYTHING. I kind of like that the curtains are on the hooks but the sheers are on the curtain rod, but some might think it looks weird. Thoughts?

Here's a picture from the others side...where the grass is always greener. :)

What you've all been waiting for! (no, it's not Christmas)

Here are the much anticipated pictures. Hopefully this blog won't be like one of those movies that you see the preview for in the theater and anxiously await its "Summer of 2220" release, then go and see it and feel you have wasted 3 hours that you'll never get back. First of all, if you spend 3 hours on my blog, then you are working REALLY hard to not be doing something else :)
Leave a comment and let me know what you think of things!

This is my new roommate, Anne. Please excuse my retarded hair, we had a rushed morning. Somehow both of us forgot the time that choir practice started until about 5 mintues before. :)

This is my other new roommate, Susie. She's not really a demon dog, I just don't have those cool computer programs that you can change eye color of pictures and super-impose George Bush into the shot. Come to think about it, the world might be a better place because I don't have it...

As you walk into the condo and look on the right, you would see this...on the left is a long wall...

Here's more of the kitchen. Please note the Yankee Pumpkin Spice candle in the forefront. It was in my storage tub and melted on it's side. This weekend in what I can only deem the "Candle Project" I managed to use a candle warmer combined with toothpicks, a knife, my fingers, scissors and pure ingenuity to restore it to an almost normal candle. The real test will be if it actually burns...let's hope!

My favorite feature of the kitchen is the hardwood floor appearance (I think it's probably lamenant). Also, on the fridge is pictures of all you people and the freezer holds all the cards I've gotten since I've been here. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers, guys!

A Prelude of Good Times to Come

Hey People!

A quick update for those of you that don't know...as of last Saturday I have a roommate! It was a total blessing of the Lord because as most of you know, living alone was not my thing. Anne (aka new roommate) also has a dog named Susie that is very cute. You know how I love the canines...

When Anne moved in, I realized 2 things...first of all, that I have a lot of earthly belongings as I was filling my 2 bedroom condo very nicely by myself. :) Second of all, though, it was that I have met my match. Here is an excerpt from a moving day conversation.

(Amy and Anne out front of the condo making trips back and forth up with Anne's belongings. Amy observes Anne pulling out basket after basket of all shapes and sizes.)

Amy to Anne (sarcastically): "Um, hey, Anne? Would you happen to know where I could find a whole lot of baskets? Oh, wait..."

Anne to Amy: "What can I say, I'm just a basket case!"

I rest MY case.

Here is a conversation that had us laughing last night...Anne is a teacher and was working on a physics sylabus for one of her students, so math was on the brain (not mine, of course. I avoid numbers like the plague)

Amy to Anne: Hey, math is totally spiritual...there's a lot of parabalas in the Bible.
Anne to Amy: I just don't think we are looking at this from the right angle.
Amy to Anne: Yeah, something just doesn't add up
Anne to Amy: (a few really good comments that I can't remember now. Partially this is because it was kind of late when we had this conversation and partially because HEY! it's math. My nemesis)
Amy to Anne: I think we only understand a fraction of this conversation

Etc, etc. I will spare you the rest of the conversation, but now you know that the next time you see me I will be at a whole 'nother level of wittiness compliments of the "iron sharpening iron" that is a part of this new and improved living situation.

I know you've heard me say this before, but pictures are to come. :)
