{ low and behold, i still exist! }

Believe it or not, friends, I still exist. I am a bad blogger, and to admit fully to these character flaws, I have composed a list of reasons why I stink at blogging. Ahem ...

(pictures of the new digs created with my new favorite iPhone app Instagram)

1. I move a lot. Every time I move my internet goes buh-bye. Hence the lack of blogging. Sometimes I blog at work (don't tell!), but I really shouldn't. But I am right now.

2. I am very distractable. I take after my aunts/grandmother/etc in that respect--Oh look! A new delivery guy at work ... sorry. Like I said. Distractable. I'ts a problem. 

3. I'm very involved in enjoying my new apartment in Portland. It's vundibar (pronounced voon-dee-barr). It's got at least 5 different types of wood grains through it, 3 of those being on the floors. It's really close to the ocean, the highway, and an Italian family's sandwich shop. It's vundibar. 

OK. I'm going to try to take some pictures on a real camera, not just my lovely wonderful amazing iPhone, and then I'll see what I can do to explain the horrors of having a fully green bathroom (as seen in photo #3). Sometime in the future. I can't promise a very timely delivery ... I wouldn't want to set myself up for failure and all!

tiny spaces

As I've been browsing some apartment sites, I'm 
starting to realize the extreme costs that come with living 
in NYC! I can afford to live in a tiny studio in very few places!



But, when I look at great pictures like these, it gives
me hope! Just because I can afford a tiny space that's not
the Ritz, doesn't mean I can't be creative with storage.
Vertical storage and creative placement of shelving 
is such a great way to use a space to the fullest ...
These pictures make me want to go move now!
