My apartment. Mine. My own

Yesterday when I got to Southall (the apartment place) Marjorie showed me around..I saw the meeting area, kitchen, etc. Then she showed me my apartment. It's a rather nice size for one person..I think it's bigger than Dana's haha. We inspected it and made sure everything worked. It's on the second floor and it has a balcony that faces the sun (perfect for my solar telescope!). Then I signed the paperwork for the lease and stuff and brought some things into the apartment (an air mattress, etc)

Today mom got off work early to do stuff with me. We began the day with breakfast at Sourdough Sam's. As we crested the hill on Ballaine I saw this brownish hazy stuff in the air..mom said a chinook was coming (lots of chinooks this winter! Haha) so I'm guessing it was glacial silt from the rivers being blown around (I've seen it before when I was in the mountains during a chinook and the silt was being blown around). At Sam's I had a Mexican omlette..they put salsa on it which was REALLY good..like Texas good..wow. Then we went to GCI to make an appointment to get Internet/cable TV/a phone installed (yeah cable! Haha). They're gonna come on Friday. Then we went shopping around town for furniture and stuff for the apartment. I found a nice nightstand with drawers and a black chair and I got stuff like bath towels, a shower curtain, etc. We took that all to the apartment and set it up. I shall get pics when it's more set up..yayness haha

Would you rather try to take a banana from a giant monkey or try to take an egg from a mother goose while she's sitting on her nest? Hmm..the egg?

Sam's does make a damn fine Mexi omelette!

Congrats on the new place! :)

Wow,that's really exciting! I can't wait to see some photos...I'm curious like that :)
And I think I would try to take the banana...I'm sooo afraid of geese xD

Whee!! That is so very exciting. I don't think it's very hard to get an apartment that's bigger than mine haha. I love going shopping for new apartment things...yay for interior decorating (though I'm not so great at interior decorating...Lisa has always been the master at that haha). Ohh that's sweet that you have a balcony, too! I definitely miss having a balcony.

That's so funny about the salsa on your eggs this morning after me and Tina's talk about that. ;) That's cool that it was as good as the salsa in Texas.

I would rather try and take the egg from the mother goose.
