::fanfare please::

dear internet, i have a very important announcement to make:

i have a new place to live :-) :-)

i put down a deposit on a RIDICULOUSLY FANTASTIC place yesterday. it's about 3.8 seconds (walking!!) to the metro, not too much further from my office, and wonderfully, ludicrously enormous. two large bedroom, two full bathrooms, a fireplace, a laundry room, full updated kitchen, and even a wee balcony. cat friendly. nice landlord. oh! and i'm not sure which of these points are more exciting:

(a) no random parents; or

(b) i'll be living there with karl!

my weekend in florida was FANTASTIC, as well. more on that later, once i've caught up with work a bit. and when i stop doing little happy dances that i no longer need to have conversations like this:

mom with whom i live: alice? i think your cat maybe was sick while you were away.

me: ooh, really?

mwwil: yes. in the room next to yours. you should go look.

me, to self: you.. just left it there....? all weekend...?

me, to self: you just called me back into the house, from the doorstep, as i was closing the door behind me. this is clearly a fantastic time for me to go back upstairs.

me, out loud: right. i'll look later.

later, by the way? i went in and found that a cat had in fact puked on the bed in the spare bedroom that the mom sometimes uses. on a blanket that until that point, i was not aware they had taken from me to use.

CANNOT. WAIT. TO. PACK.

yay!

  2. I cannot get over how freaking crazy these parents are. Are their kids screwed up, because they obviously have some issues. So excited for you and your beautiful new place!
