So yesterday was our official move-in date for the new loft. I thought it was going to be the most perfect, romantic day ever, but it was far from that! First, Kevin found out he had to be at a convention for his work till late at nite, so I was pretty much stuck moving by myself all day. Then he got sick from drinking the faucet water (said it tasted like paint thinner) and was dizzy and cranky for the rest of the night. We decided to drive around and get something to eat, but then realized that we weren’t familiar with the neighborhood and had no idea where to get food at 11:30 at nite. Oh, and the worst part is… our carpet is green. We ordered black carpet, and it looked black at the store, but it turns green when the light hits it. So now we have to spend about $500 to get it dyed JET BLACK because green is really gross.
But overall, GOD I AM SO HAPPY!!!! I love the place soooo much. From the upstairs window, you get such a pretty view of downtown. Okay, KIND of. It’s a bit obstructed by the adjacent building, but um, you can see the top half of the tall buildings and it’s really pretty. And I love that New House smell! And everything is so sweet and cozy like Melrose Place, minus the having sex with your neighbors part. And I don’t miss my roommates one bit. We still need to find people dumb enough to rent out the rooms in our old house, but no one would be crazy enough to respond to an ad that said:
ROOM FOR RENT
Beautiful 5-bedroom home in suburban neighborhood
lawn, backyard, 3 baths
Must be willing to live with 2 unemployed stoners and a cokehead (and their dogs)
Everything you buy will be broken before the week is over
Food and beer must be hidden at all times, lest they mysteriously disappear
