excited for the new place

I went to pick up the keys for our new apartment last night. I got to the neighborhood a little early so I poked around our street a bit. I love it! There 3 cool looking bars within 1/2 block, a cute antique shop in which I got George a new food bowl, 2 mexican food places, a wine store w/ wine tasting on Thursdays, a hair dresser, a health food store and to top it off, a fabric/craft/sewing store!! All this within 1/2 a block... are you kidding me?! And do you know how many gay sex shops I saw, ZERO! We're moving up, people!

I have yet to blog about my boyfriend, Sonny, moving to San Diego. It's hard to talk about and has broken my heart a little bit. Of course I found out this news around the same time I lost my job and started weening off lexapro, not a good combo. Up until a week ago anytime I even thought about him moving I burst into tears, as I am now. So no talking about it, other than to say that I'm stoked for Sonny. I know that he's missed the water and the publishing scene a lot. Summer is the perfect time to move to southern CA, no humidity and no stinky people on the subways. But I do hope he comes back to visit soon!

George is a good helper when packing. He lays on the boxes to make sure they don't go anywhere. Thanks, G!

Did I mention the dishwasher?

We're moving on Sunday and I'm starting to stress. There is still a lot to pack, I don't have enough boxes and my neck is killing me. Also, I'm super sad to leave our neighborhood.

To make myself feel better, here are 5 reasons I'm excited about the move:

1. Bigger apartment.
2. We get to explore a new hood.
3. We'll be 1/2 mile from Prospect Park.
4. It has a dishwasher!
5. It's a long apartment, purrfect for playing fetch with George.

Do you think George knows that when I kiss him it means that I love him?

Brian posted this on flickr today. I'm going to assume that he took it this morning after I left. George is such a lover these days. It's pretty awesome.

Why was I up before Brian this morning? Well I took the 7:45 train to Long Island to visit Mirabelle. She's going to be ONE on Thursday! What a doll! she was a little sick today so her mood wasn't always sweet, but her face sure was. I love that baby. She's getting really smart, loves to read and play with all her noisy toys. And she is on the verge of walking. When she crawls her little butt is high in the air as if she wants to pick her top half up and start running. very cute! Today was one of the days that makes me really happy I don't have a job, otherwise I wouldn't have had an Anna and Mirabelle day.

I have been watching a lot of Golden Girls lately. I LOVE it! The girls are hilarious and their outfits are amazing. Brian took this photo last night.
