New Apartment

It's been about two weeks since I have moved into my new apartment. The floor plan is great but the place could use a little love. I live in a complex that is actually a bunch of individulally owned condos. I am renting my apartment from the condo owner who I swear hasn't walked inside the place since he purchased it. Obvisouly it isn't that bad other wise I wouldn't be living there but the walls could use a good coat of paint and the appliances (even though they work well) could be updated. Here are a couple of pictures of my new place.

My kitchen with 1970s gold counter tops and appliances. ->

<- View from the living room, looking at the dinning room and kitchen. See the orange and red paint swatches? I am thinking of a bright accent wall. Right now the red is winning.

Living room looking out the patio window->

Saving up for another brown slip cover for the love seat and I am trying to pull the orange, red and gold out of the rug. Not sure what to do about the wood paneling though. :-/

First half of my bedroom, it's a big room and I don't know what to do with it. Right now it is very empty and blah...

Looking out at the window.

So I guess if you have any suggestions I'm open to it. I think in this corner-> I am going to put a chair for reading and lounging.

Here is to new beginnings!

Answer this for me?

Why is a non-profit organization who is currently doing budget cut backs buying employees iphones?!?!

Damn iphones!

Oh you know...another doodle

Anniversary!

The office this winter under 7ft of snow.

Brrrr! It was a cold one.

Today is my 1 Yr. Anniversary of working at the Sundance Institute!! It's a pretty uneventful day and I think I am the only one who remembers but it is exciting to me. Last summer I drove up the canyon stopped at starbucks and picked up a hot chocolate, spilled it on myself, and then rushed into the office 5 min. late. Way to go me!! Luckily my boss and the people I work with are very laid back and didn't mind at all. I was shown my desk and sat down through IT training and every other part of NEO (new employee orientation) and started reading my emails. Around 12:30 my boss and the girl I was replacing took me to lunch at the Stew Pot (GOOD!) and we sat there for three hours talking and enjoying a large Coke on their patio. I'd say it was a great first day.

Since then I have been through one festival, managed staff, helped with board screenings, managed our buildings, supplies, and even had time to see a screening or two. Bob has visited the office twice and I have spoken to him on the phone once. Starstruck! :-)


Here is to a new year!! It can only get better and I already had a good start!
