i got an apartment!!!

so, after weeks of crashing at blake’s and searching for an apartment that takes dogs (of which there are 3) i have finally found an aparment! it’s tiny—like, really tiny! but it has indoor plumbing! and all bills included, and storage and a washer/dryer and the lady who lives in the house above me (this is an “in-law” unit) seems really cool! and, the best part–it has a front yard!!! so jackson has room to roam (and poop) and hang out so he’s not confined to the 350 square foot (i really think it’s about that size!) room that i’m renting! also, it’s in a pretty cool part of town. kind of like the east side in austin—lots of taquerias, and lots of cool hole-in-the-wall bars.

so, ikea, here i come! they can show me how to live in the tiniest place imaginable! ryan and renee, i’m remembering the time you guys sat in one of the fake apartments in ikea and invited people to come in, take a seat, make themselves at home! and thank god i sold all my furniture, cuz that shit ain’t fitting in here, folks!

i’ll take pictures once i’m in and make the place pretty! i get to move in just after October 1st…then i have to work some magic on the place! ooh, project!

here’s a picture of the facade from the street—the one i got is behind the wooden fence. it’s great, there’s a whole garden/yard area with these gorgeous blooming trees and a little patio set (i think i’ll call the patio my living room!) and the house is set back from the street.

woo hoo!

stay still…things will settle themselves in time.
