home

* i wrote this earlier on friday. but didn't get around to posting it yesterday evening. and i'm too lazy to go through and adjust. so. back in time we go! it is yesterday! go!*


the problem with life being awesome-and-the-best, is that it fills up very quickly. over the last few weeks i have started the new job, and moved to the new home (although not completely completed...), and gotten a new housemate, and had a wicked mom-visitor, and realized that maybe i have some new best friends here in this city... and there is just always something wonderful to be doing. it is magical and great and exhausting. i've lived alone for a zillion years. (okay. maybe 5... or so.) i spent the better part of the first year here in t.o. with pretty much only 3 friends. it was crazy lonely a lot of the time, but it also meant i had a luxurious amount of alone time. to do things slowly, or lazily, or however i liked to do them. now i am trying to fit more and more in to less and less time. because there is so much good. it's hard to find a balance that isn't all or nothing.

isn't my life hard? ha!

anyways. the point is. last night i took a night off to recharge a bit. i didn't do any work on the moving in-or-out. i didn't cook. (baguette and cheese for dinner!!!) i caught up on tv, and programmed the pvr for the new fall season. i had a bath and painted my nails. and it was great. and i thought 'this is great. but also. i'm glad this isn't all i do anymore.' tonight i am going to a blue jays game. vs. the yankees. and i'm super super stoked to be out with humans.

okay. enough thinking about things out loud into a computer... now. pictures!



i stole this nail-doing-style from cupcakes and cashmere. i am a huge HUGE fan. (of both the nails, AND her blog...) it totally makes friday at the office one million betters. (maybe it is my beat up hands, but i have yet to figure out how to take a picture of my own nails that doesn't look a little creepy... like a claw or a severed dead hand... anyways.)

{from cupcakes and cashmere. of course. {heycheckoutthesebrackets!}}


and. the new apartment. starting to come together. still lots to be done (like have my real bed arrive... ugh! impatient!), but i'm loving up a few corners hardcore. and margene seems really happy here, with all the space and light and windows and company. so. so. happy.













and, finally, go check out the city sage's exclusive look at club monaco fall stuffs. i want alllllllll of it. but most of all i want that silver pleated skirt. and the black leather-sleeved-fur-chested jacket. (is that all ONE PIECE?!) and the gold skirt... and. and...

oh, also. where are my fingerless glove-mitts? i'm gonna want those tonight. and i can't find them. boo.

alsoalso. bloggoal for this new time. take actual pictures with an actual camera erin. all this iphoneing must be stopped. ugh.

Erin your place is lookin' good. You have a portrait of the queen on your wall so of course I have to say jolly well done for having such royally good taste!
And I know what you mean about the iphone, ack - I have a decent camera so why am I being a lazy app-monkey?!

Margene's new life: on the couch guarding her blanket; on the window ledge guarding the bag wherein one might find one's fingerless gloves; in the kitchen hoping your awesome housemate will drop some food.
