First: I recieved a magnificent gift in the mail yesterday. I knew I was getting it, and so I’d planned to take a picture of it and the very very silly cool gift Angie sent me at the same time and post them together, not that they have anything to do with each other. But it seemed like the timely thing to do.
Sadly, in the process of housecleaning, Angie’s gift disappeared into the garage. There are plans to fumigate the garage this week, so I will have to re-find it and show it off when I’ve dug it out. Angie, you may castigate me. Bad Kit. :(
However, the day planner Deborah and Rob sent is every bit as god damned cool as one might hope. It would be cool even if it weren’t electric blue leather, because it’s just a really *good* day planner. It would be cool even if they hadn’t included a fountain pen that writes very smoothly with it. It would be cool even if it didn’t include personalized notecards and an excellent place for business cards.
But nothing in the world could beat a day planner with my own sassy lady emblem embossed in the leather:
On a completely different note, while I was gone, the boys discovered the dog has Certain Opinions about where she gets to sleep when Catie isn’t home:
On a third totally unrelated note, yesterday was an extremely good day and in time I shall tell you more about that.
And on the fourth and final random note, we put our house on the market on the 6th, accepted an above-asking-price offer on the 8th, and will be moving to Ireland by the end of November.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled day.
miles to Mount Doom: 128
CAAAA-A-A-ATIE-E-E-E-E-E!
*Wail!*
It’s going to be an awfully long commute for you each Sunday for coffee, after you move!
Ireland yay! Quite the move, I’d say. Hopefully I’ll be there next June. I’ll look ya up.
Wow, Ireland’s a LOT farther away than Alaska.
I look forward to reading about your adventures in the Emerald Isles. That’ll be cool.
Oooh, gorgeous planner! And good luck on the transatlantic move. How handy to have a Kit in Europe rather than Alaska! :)
Congratulations on selling the house and at above asking price! That’s awesome!
Good luck with all the preparing and packing and planning and such.
It’ll be nice to have you so much closer for visiting purposes. And yes, it’s sad that it’s easier to visit you in another country than in AK, but it’s a LOT cheaper and easier.
Now, really. You *know* she’s going to move to a little tiny island off one of the tips of Ireland, such that actually visiting her will require a transatlantic flight, a sea voyage, a mule trip, and somehow using penguins as pack animals.
*laughs helplessly at Trent* No, no, if I were *Emily* that’s what I’d be doing. Me, I intend to be somewhere reachable by public transportation. :)
November, eh? Which means my cunning plan attempting to get to the UK next year (pending on having a job after October 2005) is on track. Eeeeexcellent. :)
Also, website weirdness: Your little ‘sassy lady’ icon and “the essential kit” logo and the “look upward and share the wonders I’ve seen” byline are floating on the web page–meaning that when I scroll down to read your post, it’s floating over the pictures and text.
Which may be intentional, but it also makes reading and viewing the pictures a challenge trying to do it around the graphic. :} So, just wanted to give you an FYI incase it’s not intentional.
Um. No, not intentional. What browser are you using? Weird.
