Virtual House Tour! And An Update Update!

Hello! 

A fun little update...in the form of a video tour! What? I know! Just what you've always wanted! An awkward and slightly (hopefully not too) nauseating video of my new house! Yehaw! 



Oh yeah, apparently since I'm not a YouTube partner, I can't change the thumbnail for the video to be the first frame of the recording, which was KINDA the whole reason I decided to start outside the front door, but whatever youtubes. I could've added captions and stuff apparently, but I am far too lazy for that. I mean, the reason I did a video was that I am too lazy to take a bunch of pictures and upload them.  Besides, that's what awkward narration is for, right?  :)

I've also included a little update of that nasty "little" list I posted the other day. In case you're wondering how things are going.


  • Thursday after work
    • get a massage oh yeah woo hoo! massage cancelled due to therapist's migraine.  :(
    • Google+ hangout with Aly decided not to due to amount of stuff to do.  :(
    • unpack swag bag suitcase from BlogHer
    • pack bag for LA (going home this weekend)
    • mail something to Will. It's tricky, because he gets to his next resupply in 4 days, and the one after that only 6 days or so after that. So I have to get on it. And possibly pay for some quick shipping. Hopefully I don't have to do this Friday/Saturday, but I might have to. I mailed it. Because I am awesome. And he got it today, and it made him happy. I am the best ever.

  2. My thumb is only greenish, but there is a gardener that comes once a month to maintain. I'm hoping to try for a veggie garden next spring. Hopefully I won't kill it all.

  4. That house looks familiar. If this video was up earlier I wouldn't have spent so much time trying to break in through the boarded up door.

  14. Really? Cause I only watched it on my camera, so I didn't really know. Just wanted to get it posted, so didn't spend any time editing or even watching closely to make sure it was actually watchable. ;)
