Happenings

Well, things have been moving along at a lightning pace here in NY! I bought a new car last week and my old car is being happily driven by a friend. I just love my new car! It’s a 2011 Honda Civic EX. I never ever thought I’d ever buy a red car, but this car was so pretty I just knew I had to get the red one :)

I also found a cute little apartment that I’ll be signing the lease for tomorrow! It’s well within my budget, walking distance to grocery stores, restaurants and shopping, and very centrally located for just about anywhere I might find a job. I will start moving in on Saturday :)

And last but not least I’m leaving Sunday with a friend to go back to Illinois and get the stuff that Michele has so graciously stored for me! We’ll load it into a U-Haul truck and be back home in NY by Wednesday!

I already have a place in my apartment designated for a little sewing corner and I tell you, I cannot WAIT to start sewing again! First on the agenda is a shower curtain! I couldn’t find one I liked, but I found fabric to make my own :)

  1. Love the car. For the first time, I don't have a red car, but my husband still does. You've moved to a lovely area. Good luck with the trip, and back, to IL. the weathers been terrible. When you get settled, I hope you'll share some local color.
