I’m so far past overwhelmed right now that I can hardly remember what overwhelmed feels like. But it’s almost all good stuff. I’ve tried a couple times to blog, but clearly without success. So this is a round-up post wherein I’ll try to hit the highlights before disappearing again for a while.
Unicorn Power!
Ben’s birthday party was a tremendous success, and I learned that organizing a kiddie party for grown-ups is super fun - except maybe the cooking part. Many of you have probably already seen pictures here and here. Make sure you don’t miss the incredibly bizarre and funny video here.
Bainbridge Getaway
Ben and I escaped to Bainbridge Island at the end of April and stayed in this amazing log house at Sacred Groves for two nights. It’s a total bargain and so peaceful and beautiful. The sleeping loft is a magical place to cuddle up at night and awaken in the sunshine. They’re looking for long-term renters to join their community, but in the meantime it’s available for nightly rental.
Cirque!
On the very last day of April, I saw Cirque du Soleil for the first time - the Corteo show. It was amazing. This post is already too long, or I would try to describe it but it would be inadequate anyway. Everybody should see something like that at least once in their lives. Humans can do such amazing things.
Big Blue House
In addition to a crazy work schedule, the month of May is being completely devoured by this house [photo removed]. We’re moving from our little Capitol Hill apartment to an amazing Victorian in the Central District. It ended up happening really fast. We fell in love with the place and had to snap it up before anyone else did. Fortunately a 30-something couple with a baby on the way looks pretty damn appealing to a homeowner who’s had a lot of trouble with crappy renters wrecking the place.
So just like that we’re moving! Lease starts Thursday, and we’re hoping to move the last of our stuff Memorial Day Weekend. If you want to see more pictures, they’re here [no, they're not!]. We’ll be taking interior shots on Thursday when we get the keys.
