Well, it’s Saturday, party people. For me and C, that means a big day of partying! That is, if your definition of “partying” includes slogging through final projects for his classes (C) and crocheting (me). DePaul is a strange school.

So I bet you were all wondering where I was for the last couple weeks, right? (Oh, you don't care? Well the close button is riiiiiight up there, buddy.) I was here! That, my friends, is the living room of me and C's very own first Chicago apartment!!! Really and truly! And yes, that's crown molding. Turns out when you pony up the cash to live in a good area you get some unexpected perks... Moving day was crazy. We signed a lease Friday night, and Saturday morning first thing we called a moving company and they said they could help us move that day. It was amazing. We were in!. Here's our new kitchen: Note my plants! They've survived this whole time! I mean, looks nice, right? Unfortunately it's all an illusion. See that sink? It doesn't drain. And...
