Wow Long Time No Blog

Okay so things have been a bit busy ... which can be looked at in two ways 1. We're too busy for crazy/ridiculous things to happen to us 2. We haven't had time to blog...it brings mixed emotions hah! Jenn also left for a week...deserting me in our small apartment all by myself for Hawaii. I was nervous after a week in a hotel room she wouldn't come back - considering a hotel room is like Buckingham palace compared to what we're working with!

Speaking of living space we do have some big news! After a long, often times discouraging search(Kendall and I spent an entire 4 hours driving around Beverly Hills trying to find a 4 bedroom house/apt unsuccessfully), and long hours on both Craigslist and Westside Rentals we now have a NEWWWWW APARTMENT! For those of you who don't know - there will be 4 of us: Myself, Jenn, Kendall and Melissa (who is moving down from Seattle on Labor Day weekend). We had almost given up hope on all being able to live together as Kendall works downtown LA for renowned fashion designer Cynthia Vincent (AMAZING) and I am in Marina Del Rey making the middle of the road still a very long commute for both of us. Fortunately, Kendall agreed to make it work and settle for a place in Santa Monica and all at once, I found a place on WestsideRentals and Jenn tackled the difficult situation of communicating with our new landlord Dennis who is a whole different story I will leave for Jenn to tell. Lets just say he is no Bobby (or as we now call him John Dillinger) but he will be a fun apartment manager.

Now you may be asking why we refer to Bobby, our current apartment manager, as John Dillinger. It all ties back to me cutting my head open on apartment property that was not repaired and clearly a liability...Bobby is our good friend, just as John Dillinger was to the people, but he had no problem with me having to spend money at the ER on my head, just as John Dillinger had no problem robbing banks...we used it as bait before paying rent last month... Oh and he started calling Jenn and I Thelma and Louise first so it was only fair to refer to him as John. On good days, such as when we're at Cafe Crepe drinking sangria, we just call him Bobcat.

Back to the new apartment - it is 3 large bedrooms, a decent sized kitchen, great closets, a dining room, and two living rooms. The back living room will be turned into the 4th and largest bedroom. And it's in Santa Monica, 17 blocks from the beach in a beautiful neighborhood a block away from the best shopping/food - Montana Ave.

Other than apartment searching and securing we have been enjoying our current location (as it is a great location), going to the EQ, working and exploring more of LaLa Land.

THORN: Today we both woke up with what we would call food hangovers. Yes, there is such thing. It happens when you live a few doors down from a self serve frozen yogurt and topping bar. It is a surprise every time that I see how much I have actually managed to put in the fro-yo cup. That was I believe my third post work indulgance of the week - Jenn clearly has much better self control in the sweets department. (Pictures coming soon).

All in all it was a good past two weeks!
