staving off the crotchety old b*tch within
I was once teaching ESL in Las Vegas; this was after leaving one grad program and before flaking out on another. The class was held in the North Paw of the Sphinx right outside the Luxor. Seriously. Anyway, one of my students was writing an essay about his experiences in the US, and he was very disappointed that he was too old to attend high school. Even so, he remained optimistic and said, "Still, I have happy."

well, you did very well indeed! forgive my ornery post in regard to the kitchen upgrade. it looks fab after all:)
BEAUTIFUL!!! It looks like one of those posh spots on HGTV!!!
Keri- I found your blog recently when I was checking out edgecomb pottery, which I also am obsessed with! I have a few of the pieces with the crystalline thing going on. Love them! I also have a lot of older edgecomb from the eighties which I could never part with. Anyway, love your vase collection and your new apartment looks fantastic! I also love your blog! Enjoy your new place -karen [karenr@metrocast.net] Where did you find the edgecomb ruffled edge serving dish ?
PLEASE tell us mere mortals that your guest bedroom is beyond filthy, piled high with boxes and rumpled packing paper, barely able to open the door, pathways running through waist-high piles of castoffs and giveaways? Pretty please?
enhabiten and ellie bee - thank you, thank you! I'm currently in a honeymoon stage with the apartment - cleaning it is some sort of sick joy. I'm easily pleased, clearly.
Karen - so glad you found the blog! I have a serious edgecomb addiction myself, and I'm always happy to find a fellow enthusiast. the ruffled edge serving dish was a wedding gift, and they picked it up at the gallery in edgecomb, me. I'd love to see pictures of your older pieces.
Randa - The best way to unpack quickly is to have company arrive four days after you move in. I may never recover from the effort.
