Extreme Condo Makeover

Not so much a 'makeover' as it was a 'clean and tidy'. After moving out of my apartment in Madison last weekend, I have quite a few more things to fit in my tiny, wooden condo. Today was dedicated to organizing and cleaning. Success!

I also got myself in this little predicament today.

I took the first step to descend the ladder from the loft and it slid off and fell....leaving me in the loft with no way to get down. For those of you who know the story, I reacted much like Jonah did when his book fell off the bed. I leaned over the loft, surveyed the scene and said, 'uh-oh.' Luckily, I have practice jumping from high places (Jenna, you know what I'm talking about). So I threw all my pillows and blankets on the ground, swung my legs over the ledge, and with all my extreme upper body strength, 'gracefully' lowered myself to a safe dropping distance. No broken legs or shattered ankles. whew.

Who says there's not excitement and suspense in the valley??
