it’s still on…

Slowing down my apartment search for the time being. Mostly just relaxing my move-out date — which will most-likely be January 1. (Yeah, convincing the guys to drive the truck down and move my stuff that day is going to be loads of fun…)

This will give me more time to look, and won’t put as much of a financial squeeze on me. Not to mention the whole needing to find someone to sublet as well.

One day… I’ll have these floors….

well… there’s always florida.

the place I was really excited for, shown here, isn’t that great of a deal for the cost.

But things are sort of looking up for another place I’d been thinking about for a bit now… Fingers crossed everything works out. If so, I will be signing a new lease this weekend.

If all else fails? I was just offered a place for the kitties and I to stay in Florida. Yep.

Anonymous asked: Why are you moving again? Didn't you just do that?

The short answer…. I took a job in the far north suburbs. I’m looking to move closer to a better metra station so I can have more options and just a better commute.

sort of really in love with this kitchen…

Things I Like About This:
Hardwood floors painted white
Exposed brick
Crown molding
The ledge on the window
Long curtains
That little leather stool thinger
The chandelier
Framed mirrors
The hanging lighting (bare bulbs? - I can’t tell) over the bed
Why isn’t this my house/room?

Can I have this? (Though, to be honest, I’d change out that picture hanging above the bed…)

it’s happening again!

I’m apartment searching.

If all goes well, I will have signed a lease and will be in my new home in December.
We’re looking this afternoon, and I’m pretty excited. Especially after seeing photos of the building, talking with the leasing agent, and seeing a floor plan that’s pretty close to the one I’ll be seeing today.

The kittens are holding down the fort (no really, to them my bed is a fort)… hopefully I’ll come back with good news for them.

My new place?
Well… this isn’t the exact floor plan, but it’s close.

Viewing the unit this afternoon.
