  • Load off my back!

    Mood:

    YES!  I finally got rid of the couch!  Salvation army
    wouldn't take it... too big/bulky for my roommate and i to get rid of
    it... I am so happy!!!!!  Who knew people love to get free
    couches????  Maybe i am way too picky to understand.... i mean
    wouldn't you think something would be wrong with the couch if it was
    free???  *of course i didn't tell them that my cats peed on the
    couch* -i cleaned with soap and wet/dry vacuum... i'm not that gross/mean...

    Literally, with in MINUTES... i mean Minutes... i started getting
    floods of email about the couch... it was insane... why didn't i think
    of this sooner??? 

    I love craigslist!

  • Blast from the Past

    So, i bought some Pop Rocks from a candy store in Cannon Beach.  Did you know that there is a warning on there say:
    "Excessive consumption may have a laxative effect."

    I don't know if i ever remember reading on the package when i was a
    kid.... but then when i was 9, i didn't know what "laxative" meant...

  • Propitiation

    Mood: Inspired & In Awe

    "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him."
              John 3:36

  • Getting Ready to Move On...

    Mood: tired

    Trying to pack... i hate packing... My new place is much smaller than
    my current one, so i have to really consolidate... especially the
    closet space... each year, my closet is getting smaller and
    smaller...  But i just love clothese... what can i do???  I
    goal is to make my new apartment more decorated.  we'll see...

  • Even Sadder Holidays

    Mood: Bummed

     Well... I haven't signed a contract yet and i still have to talk to
    some more people but i found a JOB!!!! Yay! Finally... i don't feel
    like a loser anymore... I am excited.  So I will be staying
    seattle for a while.  That's why i'm trying to find a new place
    here.  I am excited to stay in seattle, but i will definitely
    different living alone and away from my family.  My dear old
    roommate moved out and i am scared to get a perfect stranger roommate,
    so i will be living alone again... i have to say... i am not a living
    alone person...it doesn't motivate me to clean or up keep my place...

    So i just check price for flight back home to chicago for christmas...
    i don't know if i can afford it now... its like $500!!!!  With me
    looking for a new place, i don't know if i could pull if off... 
    very very sad...

  • Lonely Holidays...

    Well, i made my decision... for the first time in my entire life, i
    will not spend my thanksgiving holiday with my family.  Between
    the new job and trying to move to a new place, i just don't have the time or
    the money.  I don't know if i can handle it... very sad...

  • Mood:  Tired

    So i am looking for a new place to live... i can't afford to keep
    living in this 2 BR apartment... even though i love it... i love the
    view!  But i got to move to a cheaper place to save money... well
    looked at 4 apartments today... so here are my choices:
    1) Condo/apartment - pretty nice view, no elevator, W/D in unit, old kitchen appliances, and walk in closet, Deck
    2) Cheapest rent yet - acutally across the street from my current apartment, but right behind a motel, clean/quiet, W/D in unit
    3) Queen Anne neighborhood - old building, no W/D in unit, no deck,
    view of pudget sound, hardwood floors, expensive pet deposit, big
    parking spaces, ugly bathrooms
    4) apartment complex - very new, has big nice gym, common area w/ pool
    table, no deck, a little more expensive than the other 3, near
    downtown, great view of the space needle, but a studio, W/D in unit.

    I am leaning toward #4 b/c of the newness of the building and the
    gym.  i hate working out, but if it is free..  the problem is
    that it is a studio, but about 550 sq ft.  not bad, for 1
    person.  i may have problem with closet space for my clothese...or
    for my cats...

    yikes... I HATE MOVING!  Where should i live???

    So i went to my second interview few days a go... but nothing
    happened... They were idiots and forgot to tell me that the location of
    the interview was changed.  So they want to reschedule... I don't
    know if i want to reschedule the interview... i am so mad!  I cut
    my trip to chicago short (less than 48 hrs in chicago!) for this
    interview!  SO MAD! 

    *sigh*
