Well, it seems the apartment gods have smiled on me. I have been granted their permission (and Hornig Rental Company's) to live on Pleasant Avenue as I hoped I would be able to. Mazel tov, me!
One of the most difficult times in a young person's life is when they realize that they, in fact, own very little. I am currently becoming aware of this for the second time in my life (the first was right after my college graduation). In the midst of planning my big move, I am compiling a list of things I need to obtain. The list begins at kitchen towels and ends at toilet paper, and in the middle are things like a bed, dishes, a dresser, and books to put in the bookcase I bought off of Craigslist.
In any case...I have a home now (just not the keys to it) and this is very comforting to me. I have also test-driven the Volvo and developed a little crush on it. I will most likely be picking it up sometime this week and am hoping the crush will develop into full-blown, reciprocal affection soon.
And speaking of crushes, I've come to really appreciate Chris' phone calls. I jump up to answer the phone when I know he might call and I feel sort of giggly when I talk to him. That's right, people, I have a little crush on my boyfriend. Disgusting. But in all seriousness, whenever I do something fun or have a great experience, or when I could just use a hug, I miss him even more. We're down to less than 5 weeks now, and I couldn't be more excited!
Well, I'm off to rake the yard and make couscous. Hope you're having a great day.

Yay! We're (sort of) neighbors!
