IKEA mission

on sunday, Roger and i went to ikea to get the final touches for the apartment. We got this awesome table and assembled it. We also got a new book shelf so Rodger could store his stuff, and we could finally get the apartment put into order. I think we make a pretty good team when it comes to assembling modular furniture. We operate like a fine tuned Sweedish modular watch. Here are some action shots.

Here is the finished product and a professional spokes model for the table. I mean me. And I'm holding the 2009 ikea catalogue.

So this table makes me really happy, but it didn't take long for Dupree to run all over it, and got litter on the table. I was like "GODDAMN IT DUPREE! BE COOL ABOUT THIS! CAN'T I HAVE ANYTHING NICE?" I'm sure he will respect the no cats on the table rule. He is so well behaved. (not.)

Saturday Night Social

Last saturday, I had folks over for eating. Rodger and I moved into a new apartment and finally got it looking good. So I wanted to have dudes over for eating. The situation is good, b/c I felt like at my last living situation I couldn't really entertain due to the roommate dynamic. However now that I am all shacked up and its just old Rodger and me (not the movie), I can have people over as much as I want. Just like a real grown up! So I did, and I fed the people my grandma Flo's flank steak, corn on the cob, garlic roasted greenbeans. This was a big deal b/c this flank steak recepie is the BOMB and its what my mom and grandma always make me when they are hosting me in their homes. So this was a bit of a torch passing situation. And it turned out great. Check the fruits of my labor.

Finished product!

It was truly a feast indeed, except Rodger is on a fast and while we all sat around eating, he sat there and talked about how he couldn't eat and it was kind of a bummer. Its kind of like inviting your sXe to your wine tasting party and then everyone is like, "OMG this 1980s french aged merlot is blowing my mind" and your sXe friend is like, "wine is for suckers!" and the wine drinkers all go "I guess". It might diminished the festive mood but the power of Flo's steak prevailed, and it was good. Everyone got plenty to eat, and I got kind of drunk while I was cooking and then we went dancing at a Michael Jackson's Birthday dance party where Soraya was hosting. So we got to sit with her in the VIP section and got bottle service and it was totally fancy. We living!

Back in Blog.

So I haven't really blogged about anything since the beginning of summer. And it is presently September 1st, so there's that. I went on a trip to pennsylvania, and rode out to the country in a big group ride. But, my boyfriend dropped and broke my camera, which has been a major technical difficulty in the blogging process. That mostly sums up why I haven't blogged. I will have to relive this summer through my foggy memories and other people's flickr.com accounts. So is life my children. But I digress, I got an iphone! so now i have a camera, that i can easily email pictures to myself with so I'm back in the blogging business, except I don't make any money blogging, so its more like a blogging not for profit. Which is good. I really cherish my time blogging about the hi-jinks in my life, and apparently one of my mom's co-workers enjoys the blog. I'm blogging this for you mom's co-worker!

So I have some fresh pics burning a hole in my photobucket.com account, so I'm going to retroactively blog, if that is possible, and re-create my fuzzy memories from this summer for your readying pleasure.
