best friends

It's commonly* known that Maryland has the ugliest flag of all 50 states AND that they Love to display it at every opportunity (ie all police cars, all license plates, half of the road signs, freaking EVERYWHERE).

Jenn in her love of MD and its flag wanted to make sure I did not forget the beauty of the flag during my stay in the Pest. She and the best friends I could ask for sent me a care package including the lovely MD flag and St. Patty's day decorations. These are the just the things my barren apartement needed.

Please note my expert "hanging" skills.

In the theme of packages, my cousin Jordan sent me flat Stanley in the mail and he arrived today as well. He is supposed to visit me for a picture and get mailed on to the next location. However, he is going to make a pit stop in Istanbul with me this weekend before he finds his way back in his envelope headed for the US. He is getting to use the chair in my living room that I haven't gotten much use out of thus far. I like guests :)








*and by commonly I mean, "I" think MD has the ugliest flag

  1. Haha, I love the flat Stanley. Maybe we should've sent you a roll of tape or some Command hooks? Didn't think of that! Is that chair the same one we have from Ikea? I like that cover.

  2. I appreciate the * after commonly. You are the ONLY person I know who complains about it. Intricate, sure. Busy, a bit. Bright and colorful, not really. But, UGLY??? :) Maryland flags everywhere are anticipating your return. Flag esteem has been on the rise since you left and they are getting a bit over confident. I think you need to come home soon and knock them down! MD misses you and so do we! Can’t wait to see you in “the Pest” soon!!
