From the news reports, it sounds that the March for Womens Rights yesterday in Washington, DC was a success. I'm so proud that so many people turned out for the event. THIS is the America that I know and love.

I saw this over at Peterme's. Seems kind of fun, so I'll jump on the bandwagon myself. 1. Grab the nearest book. 2. Open the book to page 23. 3. Find the fifth sentence. 4.

Hmmm... somehow I think it would be more interesting if I were home and took whatever fiction book I had on my night table.

Coolio! My site has been added to the Ageless Project website. The goal of the Ageless Project is to "send the message that the personal, creative side of the web is diverse and ageless".

No more sleeping on an air mattress or sitting on a step stool. The new place is shaping up nicely. My mom has been out here from CT since Sunday. She's been such a help wiping out cabinents, laying shelf lining paper, and running to the grocery store while I am at work. I don't know how I could have done this move without her. Well, I do know. But it would involve

Tonight is my first night in my new apartment. Most of my stuff won't arrive until April 10, when the movers show up. But I have a new futon and I'm bringing over enough clothes, towels, and paper plates to get by until then. I'm really excited about having my own place. And I'm sure Freesia will be happy about being Queen of a whole apartment. Here's what it looks like, though the master bedroom is on the left.
