A Day Off...

Again, I'm perched on my porch swing with a beer and my laptop. No Comic Con for me this year (again) as I need to show some restraint in the buying of toys, collectibles, art or books. So before I start some garden work, I thought I'd share some pics.

Parker will save the day:




The Ice Cream Truck that trolls my neighborhood:




What I did to my office door (during one boring half an hour) at work yesterday:

THIS is in my kitchen right now....

(please pardon the hazy iPhone photos)

It's perfect! Plays like a dream!







and Oslo too!

Housey is a Home.

Just thought I'd post on the old blog as I sit here on the porch swing this fine evening (with my laptop, a burning citronella candle and a beer).

Here are a few more snaps of Casa Crist:
















Here's the new 2nd bathroom (which used to be a tiny powder room-- now it's got a shower!):

Happy Father's Day to me!

My dad took off for Phoenix yesterday afternoon from Burbank Airport to help my other sister Caitlin pack and make the drive back to Pennsylvania. Her and her husband, Corey finally sold their house and are opting for a nice change of scenery and a brand new house built by good ol' dad in the hills of north eastern PA.

Prior to his departure, my dad was able to finish up the fireplace at my house and my my my--- it is absolutely gorgeous and better than the original picture of what I was going for. Gaze!



After the last finishing nail was shot into the oak, we headed downtown to my dad's favorite restaurant on the planet, Roy's Hawaiian Fusion for a rad Father's Day dinner. Erin came up from San Diego for the event.




Dad's totally stoked at Roy's...




Dad and Erin...




And a night shot for posterity...

She is mine!

I got the keys last Friday and my dad is already in town and tweaking things around the house! SOOOO busy but absolutely stoked out of my gourde. I own a California Craftsman Bungalow. It's insane.

First thing was first this weekend though--- had to assemble the porch swing and get it hung. Perfect. Thanks to my parents for getting it for me!!

Today was insane as I had to drive my dad all around as I dropped a ton of cash at Lowe's and Home Depot on everything from a tankless hot water heater to the wood for the fireplace mantel. Did i mention that i also had to work today? Eeeesh.

More updates with pictures to come. I officially move on Wednesday so most of my stuff is packed up.
