I've been writing, writing more, and then writing some more. So, I haven't had the time to post picspam, but here you go:





[livejournal.com profile] hogwarts_91, [livejournal.com profile] blue_paris, and Little Man, who looks rather bemused.



Feasting on a small selection of cheeses



[livejournal.com profile] desertwitch and [livejournal.com profile] hogwarts_91 taking a taste of the marinaded feta cheese.



Last night, finally, the grand moment of opening up the Floo arrived.

Looks like you guys had a blast. you are so very lucky to have a fireplace, I wish I had one.

Love Sonia :)

Oh, we did.

Yeah, the main reason we decided on this apartment is because it has a fireplace. ROFL. What a way to choose a place to live in...

[identity profile] voxangelus.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
We picked our first apartment on the basis of the gorgeous, large cast iron claw foot tub it had.

It's a mark of how much I adore you that I allowed you to take photos of me... I'm usually better at destroying the evidence of my hideousness.

Wow, the fire looks AMAZING! I'm sooooo jealous!!

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Hee. I usually don't allow anyone to take pics of me in my worst state: Unbrushed hair, no make-up. *snrk* At least you were all nicely groomed! I love that pic of you and Deb tasting mah cheese!

[identity profile] hogwarts-91.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
That's handy - because we sure loved tasting that cheese!!

[identity profile] melenka.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
You are SO not hideous! I think you're lovely.

[identity profile] sunnythirty3.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yep. she's gorgeous! I want her hair!

[identity profile] hogwarts-91.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
You can have it! It's Garnier Nutrisse #342C. :-)

[identity profile] sunnythirty3.livejournal.com 2008-10-26 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
No, sweetums, the colour I can do. It's the length and thickness I want. Mine has always been thin and grows REALLY slowly!

[identity profile] hogwarts-91.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I think you might need to get your vision checked...
:-)

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-10-26 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
I wholeheartedly second this. I don't know what her problem is...

[identity profile] dragonsinger954.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Do I have to send you a Molly Weasley Howler young lady???

You are so NOT hideous but I thought you looked beautiful in the photos!

[identity profile] hogwarts-91.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Aww... you're so sweet!! (But are you sure you're not looking at blue_paris?! She's a total hottie!!)

Please don't send me a Howler... I promise to behave and find a more constructive method of dealing with my body issues...

:-)

[identity profile] dragonsinger954.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I'm sure and you are right, she's looks good too. But so do you *hugs*

[identity profile] little-beloved.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I get to see you at last! You're so pretty - especially with your cool glasses - they really suit you! Do you and sis look quite alike? I can't really tell. I am also liking the awesomely plucked eyebrows!:)

[identity profile] hogwarts-91.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL - the eyebrows are courtesy of the salon down the corner where the Vietnamese women do incredible things with wax...

You're very kind... I, of course, hate everything about the way I look. (If my chin were any pointier, I would skewer passersby with it!) I do like those glasses, however. But I'm going for a LASIK consultation in a couple weeks and hoping I'm a good candidate for the procedure. I'm blind as a bat without contacts/glasses, and I think it would be SOOOO amazing to be able to do impressive things like see in the shower (ask me how many times I've conditioned my hair with body soap...) and wear swanky sunglasses throughout our long Texas summers...

I'm so with you on the vision thing. I can't see the top line on the eye chart clearly until I am a few feet away LOL. Haven't done the conditioner/body soap thing, different colour bottles helps!

[identity profile] kittylefish.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
more picspam to fuel the flames of my envy. (btw, while in college i once chose a dorm room because it had a fireplace even though i wasn't allowed to actually have a fire in it. lol!)

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-10-26 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
*grin* I totally understand that! Now, if you get the Floo working, you can visit at a moment's notice...

[identity profile] elise-wanderer.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'm so glad you explained that last one--I thought maybe you were building up to toasted cheese....

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-10-26 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
LOL no toasted cheese here!

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-10-27 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
*grins* Do you realise how dangerous it is to give me ideas with regard to cheeeeese? LOL

[identity profile] shalimar1981.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 12:10 pm (UTC)(link)
awww, now I really really miss you again. Wanna see that great appartment! :) *hugs*

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-10-26 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
So... come back. :)

[identity profile] dragonsinger954.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
mmmmmm feta cheese and a fireplace!

What more could one ask for

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-10-26 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Aren't you coming this way sometime soon??? Cuz, you know, we're now about a mile from where we met last!

[identity profile] dragonsinger954.livejournal.com 2008-10-26 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe between November and Christmas I can come just to come, if not right after holidays. :)

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-10-27 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds wonderful! I'll be in TX for a few days around December 6th, but otherwise I'll be home, so come whenever you feel like it!

[identity profile] robisonrocket.livejournal.com 2008-10-27 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Great pics! I wish you sold your cheese! I'd totally buy some.
