The Big News

my apologies to the blogosphere for not posting recently. i'm finding it easy to get busy and not have time to post, yet when i have spare time, it seems there is nothing going on to write about. it's tragically ironic.

but i have set aside time to post today, because i have big news: i am moving back out of my parents' house--only 3 years behind the planned schedule. i'm taking a basement apartment in coventry below dan and julie larrivee. it's a great apartment; about 1000 sq. ft with a lot of working kitchen space. and although it is legally a guest suite within dan's house, i have my own private, lockable entrances.

of course there are drawbacks: it's in the woods, and i keep expecting to find a decomposing person hanging from a tree one day on the way home (i just freaked my mother out), but i know it's just my sheltered suburban imagination. and it's at the bottom of a dirt driveway on a poorly paved road; certainly a far cry from a Pearl District loft. for those--or other reasons--i know some of you will be hesitant to come visit me, and i understand. i do. it makes me sad, but i understand, and won't take it personally. but i hope most of you will come. i'll have 1000 sq. ft and a meal to share.

i dropped off my first month's rent tonight, and i have the place as of april 1. as soon as i can get in there, i'll take pics so that i can post them. i know a lot of you like picture books.
