Um, really?

So, with relation to Craigslist, is anything that isn't brand new considered "vintage"?

Just wondering.

everything but the dishwasher

So yeah, you probably all know by now we found a new place. Our landlord seems really cool, we got the second bedroom, the bigger bathroom, the balcony and even included heat, which is awesome. We've got a huge set of bay windows in the "fronchroom," as Mike likes to say, that is gonna make Lula poop her fuzzy britches.

We get to move in sometime in mid- to late August, which bodes well for us because we are itching to get out of our current place. I'm also extremely pleased that I'll be about one mile from work.

We're gonna have to work on getting more furniture for the place. The first big purchase I have slated is a bed or sleeper sofa for the second bedroom. We also have a formal dining room, so I want to eventually get a nice table. I have my little red kitchen table now, which I imagine will probably be dwarfed in that room.

Also on the list: a microwave, portable dishwasher, balcony table, and framing some prints that have been rolled up for way too long.

I seriously can't wait to get started.

I just realized I went the entire month of June without a single post. It's really not like I've been that busy. Just a little uninspired I guess.

I have also not picked up my camera since, well geez, since our trip to Austin in February. Wait, I take that back. I did pick up the camera once since then to take to the Whirling Dervishes performance, but soon realized I could not find any of the rechargeable batteries. Why not just buy some batteries, you ask? Laziness, my friends. Laziness.

Mike and I have begun our search for a new apartment. We have dreams of a second bedroom, a balcony, a dishwasher, and most importantly a bathroom that's bigger than a telephone booth. We've seen two apartments already and the search has already stressed me out to the point of sleepless nights and obsessive compulsive behavior (e.g. checking Craigslist every 10 minutes). We have to move to another neighborhood because the rent prices are too high in ours. We have narrowed our options to two neighborhoods of preference. While both could be tremendously awesome, each has its downfalls and I'm worried that we might find ourselves in a situation where we are miserable for a year.

Plus, I hate moving. I keep telling myself I need to relax, but that doesn't do much good.
