Photos of the apartment

While John is sorting out his weights and moving heavy things, I figured I'd throw up the pictures I took this morning of the apartment, they're on Facebook, but for people who don't have facebook or don't want to scroll through my dozens of pictures of cake I'll put them here. (You're welcome Mom!)

This is our Street, I think it looks like Veronaville from The Sims 2, which pleases me greatly! Apparently it looks much better when the trees are not bare, but I have yet to witness this.

You can click on the picture, Mom, for a bigger one.



This is a picture of our living room, the side where the door is. The couch and chair are going, we're just waiting for our sofas to get here, which hopefully will be in a few weeks.



This is the wall with the nook where we have stored our only bookshelf, the TV and computer table are going as well as the wickedly hideous chair.



Our table and TV, the other side of the room, across from the multi coloured couch. The table pulls out on both sides to seat more people, but we have no space for it.


The windows that I adore, leading out to my balcony that lets me laugh at the people below using their hands to brush off their half a centimetre of snow. Wimps!




Hallway and our front door. Look at the magical way we have to dry our socks!




First door leads to the bathtub area with the sink, second leads to the magical closet with a toilet in it.


Spare room, with our rack for drying clothes. (This is why I have to iron :(




the wardrobe where all my clothes are, in the spare room, because John has more clothes than anyone I know. It's insane.


Shower/sink/Stuffs




Magical Toilet area.




I made a collage of Pictures on the back of the toilet door, because I'm an odd person.




Kitchen, with the sink and the wood counters that I now hate because they're growing mold :(




My stove that doesn't work, the burners do, but the stove does not. Please note the pretty towels!


My super awesome cupcake calendar.



Our room, the wall on the left that you can't see is all closet/wardrobe things.

So that's our place, its a bit messy at the moment, but we figure in a month or so we'll have it all sorted and looking nice. (We hope.) So thus concludes this entry and I'll post again tomorrow or the next day. I have a pot of coffee with my name on it. Toodles!

First day

I decided to set up a new blog to talk about my adventures in England, and I have every intention of updating lots of times with pictures and things because yes, I'm going to be wandering around with a camera taking pictures and things.My parents dropped John and I off at the airport fairly early which gave me some time to smoke a few cigarettes before checking in and going through secuirity. But we wandered a bit, and got some sandwiches and water before sitting down at our gate.
We ended up waiting 2 hours and then the boarding was delayed because they were cleaning the plane. John and I got seats together. And then the lovely flight attendant brought me wine. And diet coke. And then some more wine.
So lets do a quick recap- Saturday night was the going away party where I managed a whopping 3 hours of sleep before getting up to finish packing, cleaning and sorting my things out. On the plane I took some Nyquil and 3 glasses of wine and managed to sleep... a whole hours. One hour. John was snoring next to me, content and thrilled with his napping abilities, and I got about an hour.And I woke him up a few times, because I couldn't sleep or read or focus on anything because the nyquil was killing me. And yet I was unable to sleep. It made for a long flight, with terrible turbulance. The kind where I thought I was going to break John's fingers from gripping them because I figured we were going to die.

We finally landed, and I was so happy to be off the plane that I didn't even mind standing and waiting 10 minutes for the man to verify my visa was legit, which obviously it was. Plus after we got through, we waited 20 seconds before we had all of our luggage. After that it was right outside with our 7suitcases for a cigarette. It had been a long time coming, and I was a bit shocked still about everything.

We got in line to wait for a taxi, which only took another 5 minutes or so, but then we got to the apartment and it is amazing. Seriously, tomorrow I will post up pictures of what it looks like, but at the moment I can't be bothered to and plus it's like Jen exploded all over the floor. I started unpacking in a crazy frenzy because if I sat down I was going to fall asleep.

We headed out and bought our bed, matress and a new laptop. Very productive for four hours of sleep in nearly three days. We got home and was going to set up the laptop and instead I fell asleep and was done for for the next 8 hours. And now you are caught up, and thus concludes day one for the time being.
