What a busy life!

Whew! Yesterday was quite busy. So busy, in fact, that I made a cute map for you.



So. We went all over the metro area. AND! We were home by 1:30pm. AND we didn't rush at all. Amazing, I know

1. We signed our lease. The purple arrow points at the blue dot where we'll live. ^_^ Anyway. I've decided I love slightly janky, ghetto apartment complexes. We pay $35 for utilities, rent isn't even considered late until day 5, we get to record the damages on our own time, it's month-to-month technically so we can live there indefinitely and only need to give a month's notice, we get to paint for free (on the condition that if we do a shitty job we have to paint it back), and no pet fee or pet deposit! :DDDD

2-3. We went to Columbia Heights for La Casita, a Mexican restaurant. Steve wanted an El Loro, but we couldn't locate any, so we went there. While we waited for it to open we stopped by GameStop and I got Ar Tonelico Qoga, which came out yesterday. SOOOOO EXCITEDDDD!!!

4-5. Then we went to T-mobile but stopped at Caribou next door first. My phone is crap and being stupid. I told the guy about how it shuts off when it wants. He clicked the unlock button, and VOILA! It turned off. So he's ordering me a new one for free (versus the stupid battery thing, which he agreed he didn't think is the issue)!

6. Stopped at Michael's for yarn.

7. Went to Office Max to buy a giant white board to keep track of all my soon-to-be clients on, because otherwise I know I'm never going to be able to keep track of them all.

I also called about my tax stuff, and get to pick up the paper today. Since I have to go to Shakopee anyway, we're going to have lunch with Mom because she works nearby. Yay!

I have so much more to say but I ran out of time!

Whee! Exciting! And yeah, our apartment is nice. Some floor boards creak, but the places were built in like the 60s-70s, and then refurbished in the early 2000s (so, pretty much all the other things, like appliances and such are just a few years old). So, it's okay if it's a bit creaky in places--we usually avoid the creaks, or just don't care. XD But, we love the location, and we love that even though we live right next to a street that gets us to all manner of places like a grocery store about more than a dozen restaurants within a mile, it's completely quiet at night.

Oh, have I mentioned that we live next to a graveyard though? XD I can see the tombstones from the bedroom window! And that's where my bustop is! The Graveyard Bus Stop! W00t!

What's your next project going to be? I ask, as if knitters ever need an excuse to buy yarn. That's right! I'm learning your ways! XD

Whee! I think this is great--new place, new job, new way to be crafty for possible profit! =D It's really awesome!

Yeah, I guess the place we're moving to has been around forever too, with plenty of updates. I'd rather have a place that's a bit older and more private, than be like Bethany who already has her 1st floor neighbor (Bethany's on the 2nd floor) complaining to them all the time about the ONE- and TWO-year-olds running.

Bah! We have an evil downstairs neighbor, so we're PLEASED when the kittens run around at top speed with their padding kitten feet. Just so you know, if you ARE on the second floor, they WILL bother a sensitive neighbor if they get into their heads that they want to run around. Your boys are probably old enough to be more sedate, but our kittens sound like super humanly fast running two-year-olds. XD
