My new modem finally arrived today, so I'm back online. It's not like I would've had much time for the internet anyway this past week, even if we did have access. Moving is tough, and a lot of work. I mentioned that we were cleaning everything (because it was left passable, at best, by the former owners), and last night we finally gave the "lobster fridge" (so named for its ridiculous excess of sections and removable parts) a good scrub. It took hours. I'm not joking. Hours with a toothbrush. My next fridge will definitely not be secondhand, or have that many needless features.

So, yeah... I'll probably continue to be busy for the next little while, but I'm hoping to get something story-related posted before too long. I had a little thing that I might post as a little half chapter, if I get a chance to take some pics for it. We'll see.

 

This is what my Frances looks like in another hood. I'm quite fond of the glasses on him.

I'm glad the moving went well and you got everything settled in!

Frances looks amazing. I love that hair on him, and the glasses make him look so precious. Your icon is delicious as well.

"Everthing settled in" is maybe a bit of a stretch. We're still working on getting things out of boxes, but it's starting to look more like a functional house now. It's really great to have our own place, even half chaos like this, though. It can only get better from here.

Frances makes the best worry/stress faces. If I had enough room, I'd probably have a million icons of him (I only have three or four spaces left for icons. It makes me sad).

I'm pretty sure Frances will eventually have these glasses in S,HWC too. I've been thinking of doing it for a while.

Oh, well at least everything is over there. Just make sure to actually get everything out of the boxes-- my uncle and aunt moved four years ago and they're still not done unpacking.

I know! He's so cute. It's the sad eyes and the thick eyebrows.

He'll look great either way. :D

Awwwww, be more adorable Frances. <3

I'm also glad the move went well and you're settling in. I don't remember if I've said congratulations yet, but, well, congrats! It must be very exciting to own your own place. :D

Moving into a new place is a lot of work, indeed! I was exhausted after working on my tiny apartment, so I can't imagine what it is to work on a house!

I'm glad everything is going on smoothly (despite the toothbrush ordeal with your fridge, yikes!). Soon you'll be enjoying your own place as you both deserve it.

Frances looks adorable with that look. Those glasses are cute!

Best of luck with the new house and making it your own.

We moved about 5.5 years ago, from a larger place to a smaller one, so we've still got stuff in boxes, which mostly got buried. Hubby gets frustrated and starts chucking things out, I'll just close my eyes because I don't want to know what it was, all the while hoping it's not the sentimental family items.

Sorry got distracted, was going to say that Francis reminds me a bit of Clark Kent with those glasses.

Is Frances much different from Frances? I vote that the two should meet someday!

"Lobster fridge"? LMAO, that so made my day. And I'm going to need that in order to finish my psychology paper.

I don't know if I congratulated you on the house, so congrats! I know very well the hard work that goes into a new house (husband and I pulled up all the carpeting in our house and redid the hardwood floors underneath). House projects are never done. Never ever; but it's worth it :)

Frances is so very adorable with those glasses and sweater. Because of S,HWC, I've taken to giving Frances some love in my game. He does make the best stress faces <3

Frances is adorable - and so are those glasses. I'm saving them for someone [i]speschul[/i] in my game *lol*

Moving is indeed a lot of work! When we move two years ago it took a month before we got rid of the boxes :P The good thing about unpacking though is that every unpacked box (usually) makes it a bit more like your real home :) Good luck!

I'm looking at him and thinking "David Tennant". I'm not sure how much of a resemblance there actually is, but the adorkable glasses, the hair, and the taste in clothing remind me strongly of the Tenth Doctor.
