the bunnypad

Its done! Its done! The house is finally set up and done! I never want to assemble another piece of furniture, unpack another box, or go to Ikea ever again!

After 3+ weeks of misery living with boxes and mess, my apartment is finally a HOME.

I've got a million posts to blog up on, but in the meantime, here are some pics of the BunnyPad.


Nathan hacks up my shower caddy


The kitchen cabinet that we had to build and assemble, for lack of cabinet space.


My favorite thing ever! A kitchen organizer from Container Store, also to make up for lack of cabinet space.


The living room, complete with Grundy in the corner.


The dining area. The table pulls out to twice its size for entertaining.


The fireplace and the rest of the living room.


My little work cubby.

oh, the packing!

Its been a surprisingly relaxing weekend, considering that the one and only thing that I allowed myself to do is pack, pack and PACK! Gah! I can't believe I'm moving next week. But the more I think about it, the more excited I get. I looooooove my new place!

Pretty much everyone is out of town this weekend, which is probably a good thing, since I have been so distracted by my social life recently. John and Belinda are running a marathon in San Diego, Scott is down in SD as well visiting friends, Johnnie, Philippe and Emi are at Yosemite, and Nathan is out in NY for a wedding. That just leaves little 'ole me and a big-ass pile of boxes.

Its actually been rather cathartic to be alone again. I woke up yesterday am, and found my way to Thinker's for my weekly lox, bagel and capers; then I headed over to get MiniBun a bath, and some additional boxes that I needed. This morning, I plan to head over to Aperto for a solo brunch, and then make a quick run to Office Depot for more supplies before tackling my kitchen.

Even last week, I was mostly good: Tres Agave with Johnnie on Wednesday, and the Irish Bank, followed by Bar Crudo with Rob, Colin and Johnnie on Friday. This ain't nothin' compared to the previous 2 weeks, where I drank for basically 10 days straight.

On top of it all, I'm getting wiser in my packing. I put together a schedule, and have been sticking to it diligently. At the rate I'm going, I might be 90% packed up this weekend, which will allow me to have a normal week, and most importantly, NOT STRESS OUT!

[Progress Report, 5:10 pm] I'm done with the kitchen, the living room, the bathroom and my room (minus clothes), and I'm so sick of packing! Bleh. I've gotten at least 80% of packing done so far, and yet, it doesn't feel like I've accomplished much. Must be because there are little miscellaneous bits everywhere, and things are still mostly a mess.

But I posted this to pat myself on the back. Usually I'm packing the night before, if not the morning, of the move - this time, I'm a good week ahead. I should still organize what remains to be done, though, so I don't end up going out all week and pulling an all-nighter in the end.
