Thank you all for your good apartment vibes and stellar advice and lack of judgment over the apartment porn. We're pretty effing thrilled with our new place. Although now that we've found the place, it's kinda hitting home that we have a million bins of books but NO FURNITURE. Ha ha. Yeah. Maybe I'd better lay off the dog surfing and find a BED.
Speaking of surfing, my lovely better half's blog, My Name Is Kate, has made it through to the second round of voting for the Canadian Blog Awards in the "Best Business Blog" category! So if you're a fan (but not a NAKED fan - that's my job), head on over and give her a vote! You may visit once a day, if you are so inclined. I know I am. Tee hee.
