Just got a lil more Texan



I have my first Texas home, the Eclectic House. When I read the Craigslist post I knew this was gonna be the place for me. Haha-here is an excerpt from the post

"The Roommates"

Menelaos: I am originally from Greece, but spent the last 11 years living and traveling in China, Argentina, and South America. I am photographer/photojournalist, and passionate about music. My number on addiction is skydiving. I dive several times a week.
I love meeting new people and hearing their stories and being in a house with other creative, open individuals.

Maryann: I went to school in LA, lived for two years in France and Switzerland, and love people, culture and good food. I work at a coffee shop. Yes, I wake up at the crack of dawn, but I like mornings and there is always coffee. I enjoy having a household open to good friends and international travelers with stories to share.

The Owner, Elise: I'm 36 years old, a violinist formerly with the symphony, and enjoy trees, dancing, cognitive psychology and good coffee. I'm very people oriented, and like laughing and good conversation.

These are my new people. I expect much intrigue. Well if all else fails, I only signed a 3 month lease then month to month after that which is perfect. I will have time to see how my new job goes and if I really will be settling down for a bit in Austin.

#1276558 why I love my mom: When we were meeting with the owner and maryanne and viewing the room, Elise, the owner, mentioned that they do Coach Surfing at the house. My mom was like "uhh what is that? After Elise explained it to my mama what coach surfing was for the rest of the weekend my mom kept tellin me how she was gonna surf coach at my new place. Oh really mom "surf coach"? Overall the place was quite quaint. It reminded me a lot of the beaut in that there was lots of character in the house.


My New Pink Room, come visit me : )

While the fam was in Austin we went to a couple different coffee places and so far SM is winning. Taste is comparable, but in the pretty Austin needs to pick it up.

Austin Coffee Santa Monica Coffee

I am excited to try out Austin's donation yoga place called Black Swan. It is a branch of the place I did yoga in Santa Monica. The sis and I tried out dallas's branch last night, Karmany Yoga. I really enjoyed the class because there was only 8 students vs 70 which I am use to. We got one on one attention. I learned there was a lot of poses I could be doing a lot better.

I am nervous-excited. Job starts soon and a new city....ahh, I hope I can do all this. Prayers are much welcomed. But till then it is craftime with the sis : )

Me and ash made winecorkboards yesterday

I love y'all!!
