I have somewhere to live!

So I suppose it seems like I hardly ever think about this blog anymore considering that I only update it once or twice a month 
. Actually, I always want to update it and have like 10 different entries I want to write, but I never seem to find the time :wacko:
Anyway, I thought about all the potential things I wanted to write about and decided that in terms of simple information this was the way to go 
(although you should probably skip it if you don't feel like reading a fairly shallow, gushy blog entry)
SOOOO
I found somewhere to live!! 
I believe I had previously written about trying to decide whether or not to get a roommate, and where to live etc. Well I decided NOT to get the roommate AND last Friday I went apartment shopping with a friend. And guess what? (OK if you can't guess at this point you're really not trying 
) I found one!!!
It's fantastic! It makes my current place (which I really love BTW) look dreadful in comparison. It's got this really nice patio with this built-in outdoor storage closet thingy. Then you walk in and it's got a hardwood floor entry way (so you don't mess up the carpet with wet feet 
). Then downstaires it's got this little half bath (just a toilet and sink) and this awesome living/dining room (which is AT LEAST one and a half times bigger than in my current apartment). Then the kitchen *sigh*, it's got TWO pantries, one of which is a walkin! And an open bar (which my current apartment also had - I love those!). So yeah then upstaires it's got a HUGE bedroom! With this really nice, giant window, which has a fairly decent view and is all around fun to look out of since it's on the 2nd floor. It also has two big walk in closets, even bigger than the ones my current place has!! I LOVE walk in closets, in fact they were my # 1 apartment requirement (kinda a necessity with all my clothes and junk ). Anyway then it's also got the bathroom attached which has amazing counter space! The thing I liked least about my current apartment is that it has VERY limited counter space and I use like a million products 
, BUT no worries with this one Also, my tub is bigger!! I hadn't even noticed till my friend pointed it out.
Anyway, it's actually closer to where I work, but MUCH further from the "gay district" where I like to go out, and from where I want to go to school. It's a bit closer to the Galleria though 
(the GIANT Houston Mall). Anyway I timed it and it takes about 25 to 35 minutes in typical Houston "rush hour" traffic to get back to the area where I currently live. Which sounds pretty cruddy, but not in rush hour traffic, particularly later in the evening (such as when I'd be going out), it'll probably only take like 10 to 15 minutes, and assuming I do get into school (my next goal), I *think* I can cut off a lot of the traveling time by taking a series of interstates.
Anyway, it's only 15 dollars more a month than I'm paying now! 
PLUS, they decided to waive the pet deposit, and the regular deposit is literally the cheapest one I've ever paid! AND they have a fitness center (joining a gym was on my list already). So anyway I'm pretty stoked about it In fact I'm going to see if there's anyway I can get out of my current lease and move in early (of course that would normally seem impossible, but since they're FORCING everyone to move out anyway, maybe they won't mind if a few people want to leave early)
So there's my update, and now I'm going to go have a long soak in the tub while I listen to the new cd I just made. HEHE, and yes there probably will be wine and bubble bath Anyway I'm really hoping to start updating this thing more often.
Take care all and have an awesome day!!
