The Cupboards were Bare

The countdown is on! We drop off our first month's rent and get our keys (or key code, as the case may be) on Thursday or Friday. Then it's a week of painting, measuring and many trips to ReStore. 

We got boxes and packing materials from a Twitter buddy over the weekend, and have been busy at work since. The walls are bare, the cupboards are empty, and the nearby Goodwill is overflowing with our discarded stuff. Looks like we won't be cooking for the next few days. This week's food is all gonna be comprised of our last meals from our favorite neighborhood restaurants. Honestly, the thought of no longer being down the street from Super Torta and their amazing staff and pico makes me want to cry. But I guess part of moving is finding a new burrito joint where they know your order based off of your phone number showing up on the caller ID. I don't think anyone will ever be able to tease me as well as those guys, though. I love you, Super Torta!




 Today our landlady offered us the front office/ retail space for additional rent. Anyone feel up to funding a small business for us? I'm not sure what exactly our shop would be, but it would probably involve records, crafty stuff and grumpiness.


 Speaking of crafty, here's a sneak preview of a project I'm working on for our new kitchen:




And now back to packing. The most important part is already done:
