Moving Furniture Around

This weekend, Olaiya moved in. Our plans to find a perfect little 1 or 2 bedroom place in Capitol Hill foundered. Nothing seemed perfect enough during our brief search. Instead, we've embarked on a foolhardy plan to share my old studio apartment... making it OUR studio. So now it's occupied by me, Olaiya and her kitty Lulu. Or LulaBell, or LulaMullah, or Wooly Lully, or Bebop-a-Lula, or LouLou Grant, or Loopa-do, or whatever silly name I feel like calling her.

To accomplish this, we also needed to go blow $800 at IKEA. We expect to recoup this easily since we now only pay $300 a month for rent. Storage solutions! We've found 'em. And many an item found its way to the freebox or the dumpster. We're armed with a new bed, a new kitchen table and chairs, super comfy new chair for O to lounge out on, new picture frames for classier wall hangings, and a new bathside table (very important for drinking booze while bathing or playing Boggle while pooping.) There are new color themes to behold, bold new furniture arrangements and a sweet kitty cat lurking around. I still have to figure out how to connect the DVD player to the television (located on the opposite side of the room,) but once I do, expect to be invited over for dinner and a movie. Unless we don't like you. Then you can just forget it. And quit reading my blog too.
