Hey everyone! So, I don't have anything really exciting to report...no new celebrity meetings or anything like that, BUT I was pretty productive today and finished unpacking all my stuff and setting up my room! We still need more furniture, but things are coming together and I'm starting to feel like I actually live here so that is good! It's actually kind of strange to not feel like you have a "home". I mean, obviously Columbia, SC will always be my home, but right now (strangely enough) I can't imagine going back there to live. I've taken such a huge leap by moving out here and I'm ready to test the waters and see what comes of it. And while I'm waiting I feel sort of displaced, but I think once school starts next week and then I know my schedule and am able to get a job, things will fall into place. Speaking of school, I have orientation tomorrow at noon in Hollywood so that should be fun. I anticipate sitting for about 2 hours to listen to rules and regulations that I no doubt heard when I first when to college in 1999...wow, where has the time gone? hahaha. Actually, so much of this move has reminded me of going to college...new apartment, roommate, living away from home, new friends, etc. And, I am looking forward to meeting new people, and musicians at that- it is always encouraging and inspiring to be around people who share your dreams and aspirations. I'm nervous too...not for tomorrow, but for next week when classes start. I guess I'll have to revert back to a pre-school state of mind and constantly recite to myself "I think I can, I think I can" hahaha. Well, I guess I'm going to head to bed and hopefully have sweet dreams including my dog...the past few days I've been really bummed not having her around, and there have been endless dog commercials and segments on talk shows, not to mention hearing them and seeing them around town that has made me sad.
I can't wait to get settled in so I can get Sadie out here!!! But, I will leave you on a happy note by giving a shout out to my wonderful Dad who turned 54 today! Happy Birthday Dad! I love you:)
Here are some pictures of the progress at the apartment so far....
View from our porch (our apt. is upstairs)
dining area in the kitchen...still empty....need table and chairs asap!
Our kitchen- do you notice anything new?!?! like a REFRIGERATOR and FOOD :) whoohooo!!!
Den going into the hall
the den that has a couch/futon, area rug, light, tv WITH CABLE, and curtains! yay!!
Laura in the den on the computer...chillin in her comfy rocker...we used these until we got the couch, but are still partial to them i must say :)
Bathroom!

My new desk a la Target special $59.99...and YES me and Laura are awesome and put it together ourselves AND dragged it up our stairs to do so!
My bed...I love it!!
One side of the closet...am I organized or what?!
Other side of the closet.....ahhh shoes, I wish I could have brought more of you!!
guitars! that I am NOT allowed to play according to the landlord hahaha...only at school...right, I'm sure I'll follow that rule :)
Office corner of the room...all my cds are still in that blue tub! i REALLY need to get a cd tower!
Oh, and I bought that little teal table at Target and it was super cheap, however they didn't indicate on the box that it was like a miniature version of a table for like a 2 year old...don't buy one guys unless you like sitting on the floor! hahahaha
Alrighty, that about wraps it up! Hope you all have an absolutely fabulous day tomorrow and remember to SMILE :)!
Goodnight!
xoxo,
Brandi
