And then there were [finally] two...

Wow! So sorry for the delay! I promised myself I would try updating at least every two weeks and I have fallen WAY behind. Well a lot has happened since September starting with having to replace our shattered - yes I said shattered - glass door!

About a month ago we got an email from our landlord saying that there were a few break-ins in a couple of the surrounding apartments. Oddly enough, nothing was reported stolen but there was signs of forced entry so they contacted police and yadda yadda... Well I didn't think much of it because I figured our overly friendly yet faithful pooch, Zoey, would scare away anyone trying to break in, that is, until Mark sent me these pictures after I left for work that day:

(Notice Mark's better quality iphone pictures)

Naturally I freaked out thinking someone obviously tried to break in. Trying to remain calm at work while sneaking off the floor every 5 minutes to check on the "investigation" is hard no matter what you do.


Luckily I stopped freaking out as much once he said the initial break was in on of the frames at the top right of the door. I still had my doubts until he said he found a metal bottle cap near the door, that the landscapers had been mowing that morning, and the cap was probably flung at our door via lawn mowers. *PHEW!* But unfortunately Mark had to spend most of his only day off tending to that as the maintenance guys fixed the door. Thankfully we still have the free handyman luxury of renting.


Too bad they couldn't have fixed the crowbar dent in the doorframe made before we moved in...

(I swear this apartment complex is a major upgrade from the last one)

Look ma'! I'm blogging!

I've been telling myself for years that I need to start a blog and today I am finally listening to myself. I think the problem that I had with starting one before was that my time was too consumed with college plus I have so many different interests that I couldn't limit myself to writing about just one. But after graduating with a BFA (yay me!), I realized that I now have this thing called "free time," and with this miraculous extra time I learned of some very successful blogs that don't limit themselves to just one subject. So TAH-DAH! I present to you my artist-designer-foodie-doglover-life enthusiast blog: Mile High Lagniappe, where I will share with you all sorts of trivial information picked at random.
