Moving Again!

My life is in transition again.. I am moving. I have just broken my lease to move out early and will be vacating my apartment Jan 31.. and possibly even sooner. I was talking to someone yesterday who may need an apt just for the month of January.. so life is, as always, up in the air.
& I am starting to think about packing up my things again.

I have barely even moved in, the mirror by the couch never even got hung up.. many paintings never even made it to the walls.. this has felt a bit like a 'show-room' apartment, not very lived in.I will be very glad to move down closer to the ground.. houses are just more 'homey' and grounding.. I think I will enjoy this a lot more.

So, back to the boxes. I just listed my couches (sofabed) and chair on Craig's List - Craigs list is amazing, and all over the world now! I was just checking out the furniture selection in Vietnam & in Portugal.. cool!! &in Hawaii - I just found a Hawaiian Palm Christmas Tree!!! wonder if the kids would go for that?

Memories of my short & sweet stay on Pacific Ave. A friend of mine is buying my dining room set.. I really like it.. & might get to buy it back in a couple years! ; )

keeping the bookcase behind the dining table and so far the bed & bureau.. so far..

life is strange and fun - it flows in mysterious ways.. and it always keeps us on our toes.
Tippytoes! (ok, I am deleriously tired and slightly overwhelmed right now - 'Night)

just came back to add a PS to this. Just a thought - Its interesting how I used to have so much dark, deep and bold colors in my last place, even black.. and this one is so white-beige.. just like a blank canvass.. like a cleansing.. and now I am feeling like I need color - bold, bright, light, colorful, flowing, translucent, vivid, .. but color: Green, Red, Pink, Orange, Yellow, Purple.. alive!Mmm, yes, that feels good!
