Furniture!

Ahh, finally!  This weekend we brought all our furniture to the new apartment, after having painted it (the apt, not the furniture).  We’d stashed it at my in-laws place in Tirol for a few months.  Finally, no more air mattress!  Finally, a mattress on the floor (the bedframe didn’t survive the move)!  I never thought [...]

Back from the Abyss

Hello again everyone! I haven’t written in a while, mostly because we moved into a new apartment. Wow, that was stressful. We did it ourselves of course. And whenever you move, you realized that you have much more stuff than you thought you did. It took 3 trips, including a trip out to IKEA to [...]

Movin’ on up… (movin’ on up…)

Hey everyone! Great news! First, I HAVE A JOB! Now, I haven’t signed anything yet, and we have yet to talk about the money and the vacation time and so forth. But I’ve got my foot in the door and that’s enough for me to celebrate! So the job offer is at a pre-school just [...]

Boring report of moving in.

I just spent the past couple of days in Vienna moving in.  My G-ma and my cousin drove me and my three suitcases, my box, and my laundry basket up there, which was very nice of them.  My apartment, as I think I have mentioned, is totally awesome.  High ceilings, wooden floors, tons of windows [...]

Well, I’m mostly just tired of packing and moping about John. Granted, I haven’t been doing either for very long yet. But they both still suck ass. [...]

Packing

Wow, I have more stuff than I remember… I just started packing. Mostly because I can feel my mom freaking out across the ocean. “You are leaving in 4 days and you haven’t started yet?? This may spark the apocalypse!!!” Anyway, it doesn’t look like a lot of stuff when it’s in the cabinets. But [...]

Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, I think I’ll just go and eat worms

What a weekend. Went to Vienna and said goodbye to all the assistants. Fun times, but I will really miss them. Or, if they are reading this, I will really miss you guys! And I really mean that, not just in that superficial way that many people do. I think I got really lucky this [...]

Summer plans

Well, here are the long awaited summer plans. I’ll be flying in on the 7th or so. I was going to stay w/ John for the first bit, but with him working full-time to pay for Austria and moving and all of that, we figured it’s probably a better idea for me to just head [...]
