Big 100

I just noticed this is my 100th post. What a nerd.
Unfortunately I haven't come up with a clever 100th post - like "100 reasons that I'm happy today" or "100 reasons i love to blog"
I was really just wanting to post this awesome email I received today:

From: "Kate Danielowski"
To: "Jessica Baucom"
Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2007 14:37:47 -0500
Subject: Lost Purse

Hi Jessica,

Your purse was found by a gentleman named Omar. He called to give his information so you could retrieve your wallet from him. When you get this email, you can get in touch with him at 646-530-6294. He said that he works on West 27th Street, so hopefully the pickup won't be too inconvenient. Let me know if you have any questions or need anything.

Thanks
Kate

Now that's fabulous news. If anyone is interested in calling Omar and thanking him for me go ahead. He's a security guard at an art gallery. I meet him tomorrow on 27th street and 10th avenue - [does anyone know where that is? It's freak'n far west. That's like all the way to the Hudson River]

Now I just need to figure out how to reward Omar. Hmmmm.

Come back now ya hear

Lucky me

I got lovely fall weather and 3 more visitors, all in one weekend.
The weather is so perfectly crisp right now. I love actually needing warm blankets to sleep with and socks to keep toes warm at night. Walking back and forth from the train and breathing in chilled air. It's very nostalgic for me because last time the weather was like this I had just come to New York and everything, including the weather was so so interesting and exciting. It still is, but now it's much more like home rather than the wild new country it was last year.

Back to the company, here are the players:

Elizabeth Ellison Nelson

Took the bus and arrived with an air mattress in tow, so tough
She looks smart in those specs doesn't she?

Lauren Ann Nelson Foulger

Newly wed (kind of)
Runner Extraordinare - and I mean extra extra extrordinare
Flew in from SLC on a red eye with a lay over in Denver. What a sport.

Sarah Jane Jones Morgan

Loveland, Colorado resident
Skipped out on work and her husband to visit her friend (that's me) s (the others). Thanks yo

Me
25 as well
love the weather, the sites, but mostly the friends.


So sultry
If this has you intrigued and makes you want to visit please do. Good thing I live in such a popular location, I seem to be able to lure just about anyone. I'm thinking that I may need to hire someone to come visit me, but instead of checking out the sites I will force them to force me to clean my apartment, pay my bills, find my exterior hard drive, do laundry, go groceries shopping, do my home work, add more ram to my computer, and do office work for my mini business because these are the things that I forget exist when there are so many more interesting things going on! Who's in? Who wants to be my personal assistant for a week?? I can pay you with my love and affection.

You may have thought I couldn't come up with another excuse to post about puppies, but you were wrong! Last weekend Jean Marie (room mate, kind of) went home to Florida and came back Monday with a puppy!! His name is Zeus and he looks like a fluffy toy. Cute as a button, and I kind of don't know what to do with it because when I try and pet him or play with him I feel like I'm going to break him.
, but we did get some good training time in with him this weekend.

nie mowie po polsku

It was time to leave the dream house - more like time to leave the land lord from H E double you know what. ya, I said it.

You're going to wish you didn't ask what my place is like now because this turned into a massive picture album - Sorry
old place
Best part about moving was that it wasn't too far to go (or so we thought) so we tried to lug as much stuff down there on our own before getting a mover. This is Dusty and Jean Marie each with massive piles of stuff on wheels rolling down the street in the industrial district in Greenpoint (Brooklyn) - it was really classic.
There's no picture of it, but I have a bad as bid as a body bad full of stuff: clothes, shoes, pots and pans) balancing on my bike as I push it down the street. Such a pretty parade.
They tipped over my stuff in the middle of the street!! Come on guys, try and be careful.
New shack:
It's pretty lovely, I think I'm just spoiled for life from living in my warehouse apartments. I like the more industrial buildings better for some reason, but this one's pretty fine.
Best part is the windows, I haven't had windows in my bedroom since I moved here and I LOVE having a breeze so so much.
We have a sofa again! finally! Plus it's fancy - it even converts into a bed!!
Jean Marie's make shift room in the living room.
Jean Marie's "office". You can tell we're a bunch of really clean girls. Actually for all the crap I have gotten my whole life for being messy I'm the least messy one in the house!! I clean all of the time and am for sure the most organized. sad.
Caroline-a's room (she'd kill me if she knew these were on here) oops.
Caroline's creative corner

My fort bedroom - magically my desk fit under the loft bed one of my friends donated.
Yep, hauled that dresser with me on all my moves so far - it's heavy. We only had one moving guy so I was the one on the other side of this lug, the chest of drawers in the kitchen, both mattresses and Caroline's massive desk. I'm such a brute.
