The new place.
A separate bathroom to lock each cat into when they get out of hand. A walk-in closet. Large storage area. A private entrance. MY OWN WASHER AND DRYER! Is this not beautiful to behold?

February 8th I had a small argument with the stairs to my office. The stairs won, and I blew out a small and rather useless tendon in my left leg. No big deal, except that it landed me on crutches and a cane for a few weeks, and turned my leg the color of week…
Apologies to anyone who has read previous entries on this. Apologies also for the length of this entry (believe it or not, I had to leave things out because it was getting too long). I have never before written all this down at one time, in one place. Today I needed to. I reserve the…
An actual line from an email I received this morning: As an initiative to define areas of expertise, ownership, communication, team work, reduction in redundancy, and responsibilities, we would like to develop a flow chart for all the areas of our responsibility encompassed by [insert department name here]. Unfortunately Babelfish doesnât have an English-to-English option…
OK, let me just say that yesterday was a really crappy day. I’m not talking about your average shitty day. I’m talking major manure here. I’m talking the sort of day that you just want to wipe off the personal calendar and pretend never happened. So that’s exactly what I’m going to do: depress the…
Woo and hoo. This Salamander finally did something right. Even if it was by accident. Last May I lost my cell phone for the first time. I knew exactly where it had to be, but it never turned up. I offer up my excuse that I lost it exactly a week before I got my…
Yes, the temperature reached 80° F (17° C) and continues to climb. My office is in direct sunlight in the afternoons, and the temp in here is 88° F (31° C) at the moment. Or rather, it was 88° half an hour ago. I’m too hot, and can’t be motivated to get up and check…
I used to have a friend who would go looking for baby birds every spring then raise them. She could never understand why they would get caught by a cat as soon as she released them. She finally figured it all out and just left them be!

baby bird time, kitten time, and the increase in road kill time. i love spring, and i hate spring at the same time.
The Picture of Dorian Gray, I haven’t seen that movie in so long it would be new to me.
I love old movies. I just rented ”The Quiet Man” (John Wayne, MaureenO’Hara)
”Leave Her to Heaven”
and ”Laura”
*munches popcorn*
VCR…great invention =)
My favorite part: I was wondering why there were other birds behind me, screaming at me too….
Oh I love that movie! I read the book too… very interesting moral to it. Enjoy! Oh and congrats on the apartment!
congratulations on the apartment, sal!! the bird story was oddly amusing. i remember poking a fat bird with a stick as a child because it wasn’t flying or reacting to our presence (though it was alive. seemed to just be chilling) i don’t remember it screaming, though. it might have been in the same situation.
There was a band back home called Dorion Gray.
I can’t remember if they were any good… I’m sure the movie is better! 🙂
I love how you know the name of plants! I need to buy gardening for dummies, if there is such a thing. I feel so inept when people start talking plants.

WOW! I am jealous
it is indeed a beauty to behold! it looks huge! how many sq feet?
WOW! 2 baths too! a dream. enjoy!!
Wow! I’m jealous as hell!
Looks great!
in case you were wondering, no, I didn’t read Shay’s comment before I left mine…
It’s massive! But does it have an automatic garage door opener?
Your own washer and dryer adjacent to the bedroom where most of the laundry comes from….BONUS!!!
Alli
~~AWESOME!~~
*~Salamander~*
Awwwww, I would’ve done the same thign your sister did,lol. Poor baby bird!! LoL…
Nice house, looks spacious, big, whoooo!! I cant wait to get a place of my own. Now I know I’ll regret saying that when I do,lol!
Love,Alaina
Wow, look at all that room! The layout looks really nice. Our family of five went from 800 square feet to 1800 sq feet five years ago. It was great to stretch out, only problem was that we did not have enough furniture to spread out with us.
It’s gorgeous!! 😀
That looks like a big apartment!! You’re lucky :).
It is a beautiful thing. I don’t believe I could ever go back to communal laundry. It’s so much easier to toss it in and forget it in the dryer for a day or two….
Your own washer and dryer. One of life’s best luxuries!
