We Are Living in a Sea of Boxes
Well, I’m loving the new apartment. I love the space, I love the balcony, I love the kitchen (although I wish there was more cupboard space). I love having my own bathroom that I can decorate with pink accents. :3
I put the tomatoes out on the balcony in time for the wind storm. Ooops…one of them is doing poorly. Hopefully it will survive!
Tonight I finally attended a First Thursday. (I finally got someone to go with me! LOL Thanks Beka! :D) It was really fun! We just circled the block around 3rd and Washington, and saw lots of really neat stuff. There were three artists I fell in love with: Jesse Kellman, Jody Joldersma, and Jim Pirie (the last of which I didn’t actually see…I just saw his card laying there and loved the painting on it). I also checked out the Kucera Gallery again, because I love it. I wasn’t as interested in the stuff in the main gallery this time, but I loved the stuff in the back again. 
It felt really good to go and see some artwork. I’m so glad I finally went out and did that, because now I won’t be as afraid to do so in the future. I was so nervous about going and seeing the artists there, thinking it would be awkward and I would have to talk to them and not know what to say. But really, if I love their work, it’s easy enough to effuse about it! And it’s great to be able to effuse to the artist!
Cady is coming Sunday!!! 
I’m so excited. I just hope the apartment is somewhat presentable by then! That is, I hope the room isn’t a disaster and that it is actually restful to sleep there. I also hope to get more of the kitchen unpacked. Happily, I have Fridays off, so I can spend the whole day unpacking! Now let’s just hope I actually do that. 
Getting the internet back has been both a blessing and a curse. Mainly a curse. XD
I have been thinking of my parents a lot lately. I feel so sad that they’ve lost their best friends. My mom needs somebody to cuddle with, and their cat is good for nothing. I wish I could give her a little devoted dog, a poodle of affection!
It’s supposed to be May, but we’ve been getting April weather. I hope it gets warmer soon!
