I went and looked at apartments yesterday. This is not a sign that Hell is freezing over. In fact my sister, who lives near Hell, tells me that the snow has all melted and Spring is on the way.
No, I'm looking for a new apartment because no one knows what to get me for my birthday. Even though I suggested this and this three people have told me that I'm very hard to shop for. And with only 15 days left, the pressure is getting to them.
"If you had a place, we could buy you things." said Dawnami, Goddess.
So, out of the goodness of my heart, I went and saw two apartments yesterday. The first was a walkin closet that had two smaller closets: one with a toilet and one with the smallest stove I've ever seen. I remember a Rodney Dangerfield joke the room was so small I had to go outside to change my mind. I didn't. I wasn't there long enough to disturb the dust.
The second place was a bit bigger and a bed didn't fold out of the wall, but it did have darkness. There were four windows that all looked out accross the 18inches that separated the building. I need the light.
I took a shot and can now check that off the list for the year. I tried to meet you guys half way, but I'm not shelling out $1200 a month so you all can buy me toaster cosies.
Go in Peace
But it was a hand-knit toaster cozy!!!!

I just finished knitting you a blender cozy! I guess I'll just give it to somebody else then.

So, does that mean you are living in your car and only have internet access from work and take care of personal hygeine at your workplace?
Well, this scraps my idea of the doll toilet paper holder with the garish gold dress.

Have no fear! I knew exactly what to get you - isn't it wonderful that they offer a gift membership!

You will receive your materials shortly. Can I have the blender cozy?

Well, I was working on a George Foreman Grill cozy for you but if you'd rather a blender cozy I suppose I could do that.
