Update w/Photos

[mlerules]

Spent a well-balanced day yesterday taking care of stuff 'n' things in the morning then heading to D-land w/wolfvonstk in the evening: much wandering & roaming around, Tower of Terror (his 1st time), Indiana Jones, Pirates (his first time since new fanciness), din-din at Blue Bayou.

Everything worked out well today, too. There were very few people on the flight (which arrived ahead of schedule!), my luggage was the first off the plane so I got to the car rental place before the mad rush. Lunched at BridgePort Ale House (Hawthorne District) - walking distance from mi new casa. Met a couple of neighbors (a musician who works days as a special ed aide and a goldsmith). People are very friendly here. The sun came out this afternoon and all the local blooming plum trees and daffodils look lovely.

The landladies stopped by w/a bottle of wine and to go over a few things. (The hot tub should be working by the time I'm back next week.) The movers arrive o'morrow morning to unload my stuff into the new casa. I'm utterly exhausted and'll head to bed soon.

At times today the hugeness of what I'm doing dawned on me and threatened to eat me alive, but I got better and'm now merely thrilled at the opportunities abounding. Have LOADS going through my mind...but am far too tired to go into anything more now.

It's ADORABLE!!! No wonder you're so excited!!! I'm so happy for you! (while being horribly, greedily sad for the rest of us...)

Oooooohhhhh. Bluuuuuueeeee Bayoooouuuuu . . . .

Sounds lovely. Also, thank you for sharing the pics of the new palace in PDX. It's very nice. I don't mind mind saying that I'm a little envious. :)

It's so cute! I'm very much in love with the colors. Yay for moving!

[mlerules.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the colors appeal to me greatly, too. Yay indeed!

ooooOOOOOoooooo! Roughly where have you ended up? I'd like to welcome you to town with a drink but finals season is on and I won't be free for a week and a half.

[mlerules.livejournal.com]

Border of Hawthorne/Mt Tabor, roughly. Hey, I'm not really starting to settle in here for another week and a half anyway, as I'm flying back to SoCal on Fri then driving back up for good w/the cats next week, so whenever finals are over for you - best wishes w/all that, by the way - I'd love to be welcomed to town w/a drink! Had lunch at the BridgePort Ale House today - yum.

Do I ever know that feeling. The whole 7 day road trip from Clarksville, TN to Seattle had me in that state many a time...

[delerium3.livejournal.com]

Squeee, can't wait to visit!

[delerium3.livejournal.com]

I love it. Have you ever seen that happy robot dog face? Even if you haven't, take a look to the left of the stairs and tell me you don't see eyes, nose and happy mouth.

[mlerules.livejournal.com]

Yay for visiting!

[shangchi.livejournal.com]

That's a very interesting looking place. I wish you much happiness there.

[mlerules.livejournal.com]

Thx.

Love the attic! I'll be up soonish (i.e., before you move out).

[hobohemian.livejournal.com]

Yay! It's so adorable! I love the colors! Can't wait to visit!
