union square

a. the several story barnes and noble
b. the used bookstore
c. starbucks
d. whole foods
e. so much more that i haven't even taken in yet

All of those great places are within a 30 second walk of my new apartment! The other day Howie, Mo and I went into NYC to meet with the broker and by the end of the day we had chosen a place. It's a somewhat small apartment, 250s/f, but it has a big bathroom, big closet and as I just listed, it's in the center of so much! Oh and it's a 5 minute walk from school. On Monday I'm going back into the city to see the apartment again, take some photos, and get some measurements. Then I can start on the really exciting part: shopping! I'll post some pics of the place soon, but for now here are the pretty peices I have found online that I hope/plan to get:

this lovely loft bed...

with this couch underneath...

On another note, last Friday at a UFO (unfinished object night) I got to use my new Martha Stewart butterfly punch (which I scored on the clearance rack for 5$) and those rockin' Making Memories tiny letters on a layout with the new Moda Bella papers. The title and journaling is taken from my daily conversations with Lei who always wants assurance on the best things in her life:

i'm gunna be a supermodel...

For years and years, as long as Lauren has been into photography, I have always been her model. At one point we were into horror, macabre photos and we even made some fake blood, dripped it down my mouth, held a knife to my throat and I let her shoot away. Our little photoshoots are not so drastic anymore but they still result in wonderful pictures. Lauren has this way of making me look d@mn good in photos. What's even more ironic about the layout I made to remember this is that 99.9% of the time I actually am lost in thought, and here the title states otherwise.
