We Might Have Killed the Old Lady Who Lives Upstairs!

i tried to make a piece of toast this morning, NANI-style, in the broiler. but instead my entire apartment filled with gas and we had to open all the windows including the back sliding glass door. i had to turn the oven off - no toast. so...we had to leave. ABN insisted that we walk around the block (apparently the gas not only makes one light headed but made this red head extremely moody) and we ended up at the farmer's market and bought our produce for the week.

now we're back, the house still reeks but i think we've both decided it's safe...enough. i just stuffed my face with cereal and coffee and will soon done all black - it's friends and family weekend at PN and we have a dress code. the good news is i'm off in time for a nice date with ABN, the bad news i'm working today and tomorrow and monday and tuesday. see it turns out i'm a super seller (i was #1 on thursday!) and so they are putting me on during peek-shopping hours - which are not exactly the hours i would like to be working. we'll see what we can do about that.

i was off yesterday and made a second (and hopefully final) trip to ikea. i also completed a photo project/surprise for ABN that i'd been working on for quite some time. i took some of our favorite wedding shots and blue them up to various sizes, changed the color to sepia and framed them. right now they are arranged on the coffee table but hopefully in the next few days we'll get them up on the wall. right now - it's officially my favorite part of our apartment.

unlike the oven. and all i wanted was a piece of toast.
