Movin' on up (and in)...

Happy Friday!  Today is lease-signing day.  I get the keys and get to act like a big girl again .  I've got to admit, now I'm a little excited! 

I just found a blog with great info and updates on my new neighborhood...check out 'H Street Great Street' if you live in D.C. and want something un-Georgetown/Dupont/Adams Morgan to do.  Local Atlas Distric and Hill residents be forewarned:  from my experience, Friday night is a young, suburnanite night.

New digs and a shopping hiatus (choke)

I have clearly dropped the blogging ball, but no more!  I'm gonna get it together. 

BIG NEWS: Camden, the cutest dog in canine history, and I are moving.  So, we'll be (finally) leaving the free comfort of my mother's house and heading into big girl world.  No, I'm not that excited, and neither is he.  Clearly he has no clue that he won't have his huge yard any more.  But, Momsy is going to decorate for us.  She spends the majority of her retired days watching HGTV and obsessing over Candice Olsen, so hopefully she can design on my thin dime and give my apartment the "eclectic cottage" feel.  Anyone with a eye for decorating, feel free to help a design-challenge sister out!

To all you nice Catholic girls out there...it's Lent.  Yes, the introspective, 40-day period of self denial and sacrifice.  And what did this Foolishly Fabulous, J. Crew obsessed lady give up?  SHOPPING! Hold the phone, I know, it's crazy.  I can do it...I'll find a charity to donate the money I would have spent on *unnecessary item x*...maybe a women's shelter.  So, the beautiful pink/gray flannel wellies I got from j. crew, will be the last luxury item I purchase for a while.  Probably a good thing, since now I have actual big girl bills to pay.  *le sigh*

Do you have a favorite charity you give to?

Camden and the couch I just KNEW wasn't pink!
