More space, more space, more spaaaaaaaaace!

So let me tell you about our new apartment.

I used to live in the complex we've chosen. My mom and I were roommates there (I was 25 or so), and we both think of that year or so as the best in our lives. We were so happy and calm, and the apartment was perfect, if small. Well, not nearly as small as my *current* apartment, but still.

<td>2 bedrooms</td> <td>1 bedroom</td> <td>1000+ sf</td> <td>700 sf</td> <td>Washer and dryer *in the unit*</td> <td>Lug the laundry downstairs or to the laundromat. Pay too much and get all hot and sweaty from lugging.</td> <td>2 bathrooms</td> <td>1 bathroom, through our bedroom</td> <td>Central air</td> <td>Hot air through the screen</td> <td>LOTS of storage</td> <td>All our stuff crammed into one tiny closet</td> <td>Two pools and a jacuzzi</td> <td>Not</td> <td>Responsive landlords, but 300 units, so they're not in-your-face at all</td> <td>A landlady who gets all tweaked and calls and leaves multiple long messages on our machine</td> <td>Nice big balcony with *another* storage closet.</td> <td>Narrow shared balcony out front</td> <td>~$1200/mo.</td> <td>$550/mo.</td> <td>Bliss</td> <td>Must. Get. Out.</td>

i am jealous of your closets already.

(my next house will have closets!)

my current house has one decent size pseudo walkin closet per unit (it's a duplex) and one bedroom closet that is not deep enough for a hanger to hang correctly when the closet door is shut.

i fell in love with the woodwork. what was i thinking? ;)

I totally forgot to mention the walk-in closet in the master bedroom. Wheeeeeeee!

well if closets are all it takes to get your attention....

<pats hair>

c'mere and let me tell you about how every bedroom in my house has two roomy closets. we have so many we may annex one to expand a bedroom and another to expand a bathroom.

oh and serene, my dove, congrats on the new digs!!!

Thanks, but I think I may just move into one of your closets, if that's okay.

Thanks, dear fishie! And thanks so much to you and others, who have helped me find ways to build a life with this incredible, difficult woman, so that she even feels she can risk doing this with me.

Nope, but she knows we're coming and didn't say "but there might not be a place for you tomorrow" or anything. Good sign, right?
