As many of you know, the hubby and I have recently purchased our first home, a three bedroom apartment in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Squee! Terror! The last week or so has been taken up with packing, moving, and unpacking, but we’re finally settled (more or less) in our awesome new place.
There have been all the usual adventures involved with buying new construction and being the first to move in…including working out adjustments with the hot (or not) water, and getting the washer/dryer to overcome its overly high-tech qualities and actually turn on. Here’s a shot of the hubs trying to see behind the unit to figure out if the hoses were hooked up:
We’re still short a few pieces of furniture and haven’t hung any of our art yet, but here are a few pics to give you a general idea of Home Sweet Suri:
Bonus points if you can spot Ramses, who is hiding in one of the three pictures….
So, now that we’re moved in, I have no more excuses and have to get back to work. Naturally, I’ll be traveling again soon (a trip to Seattle in a week and a half), so I’m tasking myself with finishing the rough draft of ABSENT before I go. Once I get back, it’ll be time to start gearing up for the fall semester, so it’s now or never!
What do you think of our new place? What’s new in your life and what are your writing goals for the week?
Comedy or Tragedy?

On your desk!

You spotted him! As he can make the maximum mess on the glass desktop, it seems to be his new favorite place 😉
George Galuschak
Looks great!
How does Ramses like the new place?

Thanks! Ramses handled the move surprisingly well. Usually he goes bonkers, but he was pretty chill. I think he likes the new place 🙂
Melissa Dulski
Love it! Congrats on the new place!

Congrats! Just bought a place myself a couple of months ago. Glad you have a proper altar of literary sacrifice.
Steve Buchheit
Well, that and Ramses is prepared for lappy time when you start writing. Congrats on the new place.

I love the shot of Sid’s feet and legs. Hope that means you got the dryer going.

Thanks, everyone!
(and yes, mom, we got the washer/dryer working)!
Julia Rios
Look great! Except I am terrified of your laundry closet. Dare I brave a visit anyway?
mirandasuri
The laundry closet *is* a bit terrifying 😉 But YES, you must come visit!

Nice!
