Spiders in the attic

The house-hold is almost up and running. We have been in portland now for a little over a week, and all I seem to want to do is look at craigslist and blogs from friend around the globe(which are not updated nearly enough(peet!)). I found a pretty cool looking spider in one of the window sills here, I think it's an aggressive house spider. I ended up destroying its cool looking home/ death trap so I could open the window in the kitchen. Its web is funnel shaped and it hides inside it waiting for prey. It was about an inch and a half in large spiderness. It scurried around a corner and promtly teleported away, yes spiders can do that.
So anyway, the home is coo, we have had a few visitors already including Victoria (an old friend of Ilona's) who drove all the way up from SF. Ilona's mams and Tom, and Ilona's Papa were also here. Aimee and Savanah mosied on over.
We are still in the unclear about the job stuff...I was told that I am NOT alowed to work in a kitchen again. My lady is so good to me. I have begun to utilize the old oil painting techniques. I wish to blend animals and bicycles.
Oh... I handed out about 70 envelopes with our new address already written on it and many already stamped....I have recieved 2. Thank you Sarah, Carley, and Keegs. The rest of you need to send out some luv to these people(meaning Ilona and I)!
Okay, so the attic is dope with it's spiders in the corners
the studio is up and the paintings look gorgeous
we eat dinners on the porch watching the sun set
while hearing the birds screaming to be fed
sol wakes me early so much gets acomplished
even have beats in the making for the ToneControls heds...
