Finally Moved!
Hello!
On Tuesday, I moved into my super deluxe uptown
apartment! Of course, my definition may be a little different than yours: super
deluxe meaning small and shoddily built, and uptown being downtown. However,
I’ve immediately begun to love the little place. For a first apartment it’s
pretty fantastic. It’s a lot bigger than I initially thought when we decided we
were going to get it. It has a pretty sizable kitchen, which I’m really excited
about. Although, some insider information has come forward that my roommate is
not such a great cook, so I may become very
familiar with the various appliances.
Speaking of kitchen, I went on my first grocery expedition
yesterday. We know have flour, sugar, bread, oatmeal, butter, eggs…things like
that. Just the basics, anyway. I made a pizza for dinner last night, officially
christening the stove as ours. We wanted to make some cookies, but the
measuring cups, measuring spoons, and mixing bowls haven’t been unpacked yet,
so we’ve postponed.
After all the furniture assembly, the apartment is starting
to look like a real home. We’re still missing a lot of stuff that I’d like to
have, but we’ll fix that soon. We have this big blocked up fireplace, and it
really needs something over it, like a painting or a mirror, but we haven’t
gotten around to the more artistic details. The walls are essentially bare, as
are the floors. I have a small rug in my room, but we could really use some
kind of rug for our living area, and a coffee table. As you can tell I’m just
full of ideas.
Right now, it’s just me and my one roommate, B. We have
another girl living with us, O, but she doesn’t move in until September, so her
room is currently being used as the assembly area for most of our furniture. B’s
family is still here for a few more days, and they have been the biggest help
in getting all of that furniture put together and moved. B and I could probably
manage, but it’s nice having guys to help out. My mother was here for the day
to move my stuff, but she had to head home immediately. While she was here, we
went to eat at Dharma Sushi Restaurant (review to come) and saw a production of
La Cage aux Folles at the Neptune Theater (I’ll talk about that too!)
Altogether, it’s been a busy couple of days. I’m going to go
unpack a bit more, but once everyone has cleared out, and the unpacking has
been finished, I’ll take a bunch of pictures.
Have a great day, and I really hope that wherever you move
to, you love it as much as I do!
