28.7

So because it's ten pm and I'm absofruitly BEAT, I am going to sum up the pros and cons of our new place.

PROS:
It's a condo, so we never run out of hot water.
It's a condo, so I can steal internet from the neighbors (Suckaas)
I don't have to go outside to mail things or to pick up the mail.
We don't have to share the laundry machines with anyone.
We have two bathrooms.
My room is huge.
The blinds are excellent and ensure blockage of sunlight in the morning so I won't be woken up.
It's carpet, so I don't have to vacuum nearly as often - before I had to vacuum every week. When I lived with the Lucks, I think I vacuumed my carpet once. But I'll vacuum every month here, promise.
There's still cable, so we'll have TV until the 26th when the man from Shaw comes.
It's like, RIGHT across the street from the library.
Each room has its own individual baseboard heater (so my mom won't cook me to death)
It has ELEVATORS. I really like elevators.
There is a nice kitchen, so I can bake all I want without getting annoyed at the layout.
The toilets are nicely shaped. This doesn't change the urination experience, but it's fairly aesthetically pleasing.
We have a PEEPHOLE. I love those too. And I get to buzz people in.
I can't hear anything right now. No Rockband, no talking, no crying children, no cats fighting or meowing
It's joy... It's ecstasy... there's only one word for it... it's BLISS.

CONS:
The living room is like... super rectangular and we can't figure out how to position the TV and couches.
No phone until the 26th
The library isn't open until Monday. I generally don't go to the library on Sundays, but I would have made an exception for this book.

That's pretty much it. I love it here. And the last two aren't even real complaints about where we live.

So I totally downloaded Boy Meets World season 1 last night because I thought I'd be without internet and I wanted something to do. But I do have internet. So I downloaded the second season today. I am so pleased. I miss Boy Meets World.

Now since I have moved. Again. I thought I would use a song about starting over. I think Starting Over would be too obvious, and I've already used First Day of My Life, when Alex went away to school a million years ago. So I'm going to go with Get Out of This Town by Carrie Underwood. I haven't gotten out of the town, and it doesn't really fit, but I can justify it. Plus I really like Carrie Underwood. I didn't know this until yesterday, when I downloaded her discography and actually listened to her music. Heh.




So I might unpack a couple more boxes tonight. But I'm pretty sure I'm going to bed at midnight. I'm exhausted after today. Woke up at 7:22 too. What's up with that? Especially when I've been going to bed at 4 am. Then on Friday night, I went to bed at like 11, and woke up early. I guess I am good at the moving schedules.

So Shoshana, check your e-mail. Also, you and Alex.. I said Skype tonight, but Skype always fails, so how does msn sound? If you're able?
(Remember if you don't have msn you can go to meebo.com)
Ten pm, your time, yes?

Love you all
xx

PS I have lots of letters to respond to. I'll make that a priority this week. (And yes Alex, yours was the first I got. I checked the mail today, and there it was in all its glory)

  2. New place sounds awesome! I'm coming over tomorrow night for your housewarming party. I'll be bringing artichoke dip, but it would be nice if you could provide crackers or melba toast or something.

    I need to do the same thing with the letters. I am so behind, no wonder Cathy didn't accept my friend request.
