Happy New Years!

Something amazing happened this past year. Actually, several amazing things. First, I got married to Anthony Antar. Which changed my name. Then my name went on a warranty deed for an enormous and beautiful, better-than-I-could-ever-imagine-I-would-have house in a hood in south Atlanta called Peoplestown. My new beau and I (along with our two slinky & semi-feral kittens and one dog-like creature named Brando) moved into this home after purchasing it with the help of Anthony's parents. It is located in a neighborhood many call "transitional". I think it's great. I feel like I've won the lotto. We moved into the bottom floor, well because the top floor had carpet that I can only describe as something where crimes took place (found evidence that a hooker squatted in our over-the-top master bath, then maybe died). But thank goodness it has been ruled energetically safe by all that I've walked through there. Anyway. Anthony & I have big plans. In addition to recently adopting a puppy (Merry Christmas Anthony - here's your worm-ridden shelter puppy with diarrea!), I have joined a "backyard chickens" meet up group (complete with personalized welcome note from the founder) which I plan to use to garner important information about how to raise a flock of urban chickens. Additionally, I have big-big plans to create a vegetable garden. Although I have no experience, I am learning. First with the soil sample, then with the compost. I see this blog as chronicling our budding family - our hippie house in the hood. May the best be yet to come.

Merry Christmas, Mom & Dad!

This blog has been created for the purpose of keeping my parents updated on my life in the south. Consider it a Christmas present, Mom & Dad. It's going to be hard to compete with Donnianne's blog as she has a star attraction on hers - Ellie. But, I have a puppy. So there. ;0)
