Pictures Finally!

I uploaded some pictures to my Flickr account the other day of my new apartment ^_^ Each one has a bit of commentary from me about what's actually in it so I won't repeat it here. The quality is fairly low since I don't have a "real" camera just my cell phone or web cam... but that's ok! I'm also thinking I should have taken a few more to show more of the actual layout, but that gives you a look at the key elements :)

Also, I have a job! I've known since end of last week and am starting on Monday. It's more data entry but not for an insurance company this time so that's exciting. I'm generally glad to not just start making money but also stop spending my days lounging around my apartment, but this also means that I'll have to cram more into my evenings which is a little annoying. I guess I can officially relegate nights that Scott's busy to things like laundry and vacuuming - yay!?

A Place to Call My Own

I have my own apartment! It's a studio, part of a multi-unit house and actually in the city! Right now the best descriptor for it is "sparse" since I have next to no furniture, but that will change soon enough, at least this means that there's less to clutter and clean ^_^ I've decided after a few days living here that it really is just the right size. Basically a large bedroom with my own kitchenette and bathroom.

The downsides are that I've had to scale down to a twin size bed rather than a full and having to get used to cooking on a gas stove, but it's really hot so I'm just making excuses not to. The best parts so far though are that I have the biggest closet I've ever had... at least in terms of rail space! In NH my closet was the width of a door way, and this is more than twice that! Before when I was living in Rochester I had a wider closet (compared to NH) but it had a closet system in it so half of it was rail and then the rest was shelves and pull out bins. This closet is narrow once you get past the opening, but the very back of it I'm just using to store my luggage, so the middle is for clothes I don't wear very often leaving what I'd want most easy to get to!

Also very cool, is that I have a claw foot tub :O I hadn't gotten an official tour of the apartment before I moved in, so I didn't realize that I'd have more than a shower let alone a nice tub! This winter I will have to instate weekly bubble baths, hehe.

My new address is on my facebook profile (as long as you've friended me) otherwise e-mail or im to get it. I'll post pictures when I have actual furniture...
