May 15: Day in My Life

Well, my day started out like any other. I woke up...

and then I hopped in the shower...

and put some clothes on. 

Then I went to work and made drinks, organized stuff, like I do.

And then came home to a tree that was snowing buds all over the place and making a mess of my car.

Then I made my bed...

and did the dishes like a good wife should.

I took a picture of the cat...

and then we waited for dad to come home.

sorry for this crappy picture... eh.

Soon, Sean will come home, we'll have dinner and then probably play scrabble. 

And that is a day in my life.

Welcome to it.

love, ellen

It's been a lazy weekend at the Donner home. Lots of napping and watching movies and tv and recovering from illness... just how I like to spend my weekends.

Today, Abby came down to hang out with me. Good ole Carr girls bonding time: watching tv and pretending we're artists. I cleaned the house and she's reading my book. Like I said, a relaxing weekend.

Anyway, it's just a short update. because I can't think of much else to talk about.
So have a nice evening and enjoy this picture of my cat:

love, ellen

The Week of Extreme Change is Almost OVER.

Hip hip! HOORAY. seriously, guys. It's been quite the week. Since i last posted, Sean and I found an apartment in PG (not that one we saw that i was hoping for) and it's a 1 bedroom with a teeny kitchen, a huge closet, plenty of parking, and new carpet. it's great. cozy, quaint... great.

It's taken a couple days to feel like home, but it's getting there. I moved in on monday and that day was heck-tick (hectic. but heck also.) It was Sean's first day at his new job, i moved house, and i just had to calm myself down. Abby stayed the night on Monday and then Tuesday, Sean installed an air conditioner on his lunch break (THANK YOU, SEAN!) and then we went home and I had an eye-doc appointment. All good. I'm getting new glasses sometime soonish. Wednesday morn brought the dentist and then a physical and then a hair-cut in the afternoon. Not anything big, just a trim. but now i can handle growing it out some more. phew.

Oh, and i'm getting a KITTY!!! they were born a couple days ago at our new neighbors house and they're black and white. So we're going to wait a couple weeks til they can eat without their mom's help (*wink*) and then we're taking one of 'em home and loving it. and cuddling and all cuz kitties are adorable. I'll post pics and name choice when we get it. Abby wants to name it Barbara if it's a girl. that's funny. but idk yet.

And to make everything happier and give you a laugh, here's a hilarious pic of a cat.

anyway. Wedding planning is going swimmingly as well. normal. I just finished making 5 centerpieces. now we have like 30. We're not having 30 tables, just fyi. but it's gonna be awesome. awesome. seriously.

okay, love you. i guess...
kbye.
