On the Road Again...again
What a busy weekend I had...okay, so it wasn't THAT busy. Friday night I went over to happy hour at Yvonne's with Lisa. Yvonne is so great...very opinionated, and that's what I like about her! She's such a mother hen.
Saturday I drove all around DC (all by myself!) to check out some apartments. I decided the 1.5 hour commute everyday is going to start to get to me...especially come winter. So as I went on my quest to find a new place, I discovered a few things about myself. 1. I can drive in the city and not get completely lost (thanks mostly to mapquest). Maybe I'm growing...but the driving is no big deal...as long as I don't have to parallel park. 2. I hate having roommates!!! I've become so accustomed to coming and going as I pleased that after I met all these potential roommates, I decided I really don't want a roommate. But trying to find something affordable on my own around here is near impossible.
After a weary afternoon of searching, and not really being very impressed, I went out with Lisa and her friend Erica. We went to this Italian Chophouse. It was so much fun! I have yet to have a bad time with Lisa. Here's a picture of the three of us having a ball!
I decided Sunday was going to be my lazy, recuporating day. I slept in, ate some pop tarts, slept some more. Then I got a phone call. I didn't recognize the number so I just let it go to voicemail. I listened to the voicemail, and it was a dream come true! An efficiency apartment, in a great part of town, and in my price range! I rushed down to go check it out. While it's not a mansion, I think it will work just fine. It's SUPER small, but it does have a fireplace (that was the selling point). I quickly swiped it up and signed the lease. I'm moving in this weekend. Luckily, I don't have very much stuff, so hopefully the move won't be too big of a deal. I'm hoping to get Lisa to help me out (hint, hint ;)). I'm just hoping Roxanne doesn't freak out too much. Now all I really need is a bed...how important is a bed anyway?
