This Place Screams …

… Bachelor Pad. No, seriously. The kitchen and living rooms have track lighting.
So, I got most of my stuff moved into the apartment, yesterday. Bed is constructed and in the appropriate place, and the living/dining room is setup the way I want it (bar the empty boxes sitting in the center). I need to go through these dishes and re-wash a lot of them, before putting them away. Only one glass broke on the way over here, so that’s comforting. Considering I didn’t have that many to begin with. Seeing as I’m only one person, I don’t see it to be a problem.
The place is (thankfully) no smoking. Whether that’s in the agreement or not, I don’t know. I only read the important parts of that thing. And I don’t have a problem with telling anyone (friend or otherwise) to take it outside if they’re going to be here for any length of time. I spent most of the morning unpacking the things that are here, re-arranging furniture, and getting things into the kitchen to prepare for washing. The place has a dishwasher (for $800/month it better have a dishwasher), but for the going-over that I’m going to give this batch of dishes, the dishwasher would be overkill, so I think I’m just going to handwash everything the first time, and then use the dishwasher from then on.
Hopefully, I’ll be going today to get internet and such setup. I went ahead and jumped ahead of John, as far as the car goes. I’ve already got what I think is a reasonable quote for car insurance, so that’ll make tomorrow’s process easier. I’m currently sitting here waiting on Jason to show up, so we can go pick up the rest of the little things, clean that old place up and get it inspection-worthy. Not to mention that he’s extremely late, and I don’t have all day to sit around waiting on him. There’s too much I need to do, considering I can’t work from home at the moment, except for local programming work, and I won’t get the car until (hopefully) tomorrow.
I’m almost at the point where I’m willing to sacrafice whatever’s left in that place and just move on, because this is taking too long. I’ve got the necessities out, already. I can just go buy anything else that I need.
More updates, when I’m not leeching off of open wireless (shh!

Good for you! And congratulations. As you know Shaun and I just moved too. I hope you love your new place as much as I love mine. Hmmm I wonder if my landlord will let me put in track lighting. Me and Shaun both smoke but we have decided to keep it to our bedroom so our house doesn’t stink all the time. Plus the kids aren’t allowed in our room so they won’t be negatively affected by it.
I get my insurance through e-surance and my rates are pretty good, however, I’m an old lady so my rates will always be better than yours hehe. But you might want to check them out.
i’m so glad to hear things are looking up for you, thats awesome…must be a really nice placebecause we have a two bedroom for less than 800.00/month lol.
Stay gold,
Krista

Theres nothing wrong with leeching open wireless. The way I see it if they leave it open, they want to share it, because umm… people WILL use it lol
Congrats man, glad you like your new place, I gotta have you over to my new place as well. Once we have time again

One last thing, make sure your not sharing any directories when leeching off open wireless. Some people leave their wireless open as bate

I checked eSurance first for a quote and then Progressive, and I got a better quote from Progressive, so I went with them. Thanks for the suggestion, though!
