Tea parties and shower curtains.

You know how much I love my new apartment. To show it off a few weeks ago I held a tea party for five of my lady friends. Please feast your eyes on these delectables:


After we ate but before we watched "Drop Dead Gorgeous" - a Minnesota staple - we perused (and I do mean the correct definition of peruse, which is to examine or consider with attention and in detail) these inappropriate naked man cards circa 1982 that I snatched at a recent clothing swap.


I have to admit though, there is something incredibly weird about my apartment that I have been holding back from you. I have very odd-shaped ceilings that even affect the way my shower is laid out. Since I'm on the top floor of my house, enormous chunks of my ceilings are taken out, thus resulting in this disaster of a shower rod:

I crafted an elaborate clip system to keep the bottom of the curtain in check. I think you'll be impressed with my precision and ingenuity. Observe.

So the house of sunshine has a few quirks, including having no kitchen storage space. But no matter - I store the cleaning supplies in the bathroom and I hang my pots on the wall. I'm like a modern day Boxcard Kid.

Plus, allow me to introduce you to my two new roomies, Mark and Bedilia.
