I *heart* Mr. Anderson

There are (obviously) a million and one reasons why I love Mr. Anderson. Tonight though, I especially adore and appreciate him. That's because this evening I learned this: cable and internet installation is a big pain the a$$. And in all our apartments/condos/houses over the years my lovely husband just handled it. Didn't say a peep.

Tonight at the new place I had to handle it myself. And I was clueless. So this wonderful man helped me troubleshoot my cable connection problems via *web cam*. Seriously! And then he helped me sort out what I needed to order to get it hooked up.

Mr. Anderson is the best.

The booty lounge

That's right. Tonight I write to you from the ***the booty lounge.*** You you heard me. The Booty Lounge! That's my apartment's nickname -- or what the realtor calls it anyway. I didn't ask why. I'm trying not to think about the fact that someone else lived in it before me and had anything to do with "booty". Blech. (BTW, note to self, buy clorox wipes pronto.)

Anyway, it is by far the coolest crib I've ever occupied. I'm equating this vibe to the same feeling a woman gets when she puts on some high heels and some serious lipstick. Which, now that I think about it -- given that I still possess a full stick of Estee Lauder "true red" that I bought for a Y2K party -- is probably not a bad thing for me to be inspired by. Take a look...

Haahaha. It couldn't be farther from the work-in-progress-house-in-the-burbs thing I've got going on in the midwest. It's so fun.

Where's the aspirin?

I am currently packing for:

1) a trip to LA for the weekend, followed by...
2) next week's work in Denver, which will also involve...
3) moving in to my new apartment in Denver

Listen, my friends, to the chaos inside my brain right now:

OK, where's my moisturizer?

Ohhh. That's in the keeper bag at the hotel

Wait, I need moisturizer for LA. OK, I'll take the Chicago moisturizer. Note to self -- bring back Chicago moisturizer.

OK, that's going in the LA bag.

Wait, the bottle is too big for the LA carry on bag. Security. Need to put that in Denver Apartment bag because I'm checking it in.

New note to self -- Chicago moisturizer for LA trip is in Denver Apartment bag. Remember to transfer Denver Hotel Moisturizer to Denver Apartment Bag and bring back LA moisturizer to Chicago.


Oh my lord. This is just the moisturizer, people. I still have to pack my make up and shoes.
