i know it will never be!  but last night’s episode really made all the bleh from the last two season’s worth it (stella and zoey, I’m talking about you fools).

he loved her the whole time! wahhhhh

the last 5-6 years were perfectly architected for this moment.  (yes i meant those puns!!!)

spoiler alert below

favorite moments of this episode :

1) Ted hating himself for not kissing Robin, Robin coming back to kiss Ted

2) Conan o brien cameo

3) Ted / Marshall meeting at the bar

4) Ted / Robin talk on the roof.  Ted saying “well it’s been 5 years… ” OMG it HAS BEEN 5 years.  And also Ted/Robin talk on the couch when she tells him he’s the only stable thing in her life.

5) Marshall telling Robin that Ted was torn up.  Marshall telling Robin to move out

6) Marshall saying “not yet” at the end :)

7) My HIMYM fave, the indie rock music at the end with Ted on the roof – nice scene / himym throwback.

I don’t know why I am up!

I’m one of those .. “when I’m on a roll” people.

Our ladder desk came in today.  This is the first time in a long time that I’ve had a computer desk! (No more computer on the kitchenette table).

Here are the fruits of my labor …

I’ve unpacked all the picture frames, moved all the boxes from behind the couch so we could put the desk up, put up my ‘belafonte’ picture and unpacked the record player / receiver.  You can see it on the ladder shelf taking up the bottom two shelves.

I’m tired ! It’s raining! But I really wanted to do this! So important to start to make this spot feel like our home :)

Eeek! all our snowboarding gear is outside in one of those plastic tubs.  I put a plastic runner over it… Hopefully our gear is ok!!!  But I wouldn’t mind getting a new jacket!

Everything is still a mess and I had to email these pictures to myself from my phone since I can’t find my usb adapter.

The top 3 are from the old apartment and the bottom 3 are from the new apartment.  It looks the same because it was the same builder!!!  We did our own accent walls in the new apartment — it had bare white rental unit walls.

Some new purchases are the ladder shelf, since we lost the shelving in the dining area which I loved for picture frames.  And we have a new ladder desk that is on it’s way from amazon.

Oh and we lost pantry space (but gained a storage closet) so I bought the Ikea island for $60 to make some extra room in the cupboards.

My next purchase will probably be more area rugs to make the place feel less apartment-y.  It’s a rental condo (just like the last one) but the owners haven’t invested into making it feel “homey” like our last place so I’m glad they let us paint.  I’m reading a lot of apartment therapy blogs! but most of those apartments are hardwood floors.
