anne's chit chat

We moved to our new house – posts and photos coming soon. Thelma came over to our new backyard and totally had a good time. I love having a house!

Last night I awoke to lightning and rain on my windows.

Walking outside this morning the smell in the air reminded me of the storm the night before.

I saw ducks crossing Fairview on my way to work – momma duck followed by six little ducklings.

Looking out my fourth floor office window to the tops of trees and the city of St. Paul.

My window is open and I can feel the breeze on my legs.

Weekends.

Usually busy, usually a time to catch up on sleep, dishes, cleaning, etc. This excuse seems to catch up with me too often.

I am done with this excuse. If I want to go dancing downtown, then I am going to go dancing downtown. If I want to hang out all night with friends, then I am going to hang out all night with friends.

Saturday night, while out on the town, I realized that I might not be having enough fun in my life and things need to change. Going out, hanging out with friends and having a few cocktails never fails to be a good time.

Friday night – this video took place during “packing” and I can’t help but blame this completely random, almost unnecessary video on the above mentioned excuse.

Then we have Saturday night with Joel and me lookin’ lovely….

Life is about to change my friends! No more drumming toy bears! At least for now…

Vimeo quite possibly has changed my life. I told Paige she would have to make me a new shirt that read IM VIDEO BLOGGING THIS.

We started packing today – something I have not been looking forward to AT ALL. First of all, packing sucks. Secondly, I am deep in apartment remorse. I am so sad to leave this amazing apartment. It’s true. Third, packing sucks.

We are lucky though because we have until the 16th to move out and the new house is only 1 mile away. Which is great because we can take our time (procrastinate) and slowly transition into the new house….

I might have mentioned that I have a serious problem with hanging up my clothes. I HATE TO DO IT and one could even say that I should seek professional help to overcome my avoidance, neglect, and total disregard for clothing organization.

So today while we were packing I needed to get some boxes at the back of my closet…and during the hurdle, to get to the back of my closet, I strained my back….perfect timing for an intervention, don’t you think?
