busy bee.

i have been a busy bee.

i feel like i haven't gotten a minutes rest in a while, and yet i feel like i am so behind on everything.

if i had to choose two words for how i have been feeling lately, they would be HAPPY and OVERWHELMED. but, not "overwhelmed with happiness." and not really "happily overwhelmed" either.

i do adore my new apartment, as unfinished as it is. it probably won't be finished for at least a whole year. i put up some wooden door beads in my kitchen doorway (because i am a hippie like that.) it took philomena a little while to understand that she could just walk right on through them. i think she thought it was a similar concept when i hung a sheer curtain at my closet entryway; it was quite cute to watch her try to push on it with her little head to see if she could get though. she is not the fastest cat i have ever met. she seems happy too, though. being the queen of her new palace.


and, i want this:

 

it's a journal that has a small space to write a line about what happened each day for five years, so you can go back and see what you were doing that same day, years before. i miss writing in a journal, but it's hard to do everyday. hopefully the small writing space will make me less... overwhelmed. buy it for me here.


that's all for today, no internet at home yet! check my flickr for some photos from this weekend's Hollywood Christmas Parade. where i saw my hero, Dick Van Dyke. who is now very, very old. and not skinny anymore. don't talk about it.

oh and some fun ugly holiday listings are live tonight at the shop.
