Sorry!

I'm so sorry I haven't told you what I've been up to lately!! I've been working working working working so much lately!

Last weekend was slow, uneventful, and cozy. I honestly sat on the couch, ate periodically, and played Zelda for practically hours on end!

This week, on the other hand, was so busy! Some construction docs were due to a client today, so I stayed til about an hour ago (9pm) to work on them! I wasn't alone, of course, and I was happy to stay to help. Unfortunately, I didn't get to hang out with my friend Garrett from Virginia Tech; her parents live in Bethesda. That made me sad, because I was really looking forward to seeing her, but after spending 12 hours at work, I decided I'd come home.

And to answer your question: yes, I am still apartment searching. I met a girl last week for Starbucks and although she seemed nice, she did mention that she lives with a golden retriever who sheds all the time. That doesn't bother me much, considering Ellie used to shed, but my allergies made me a bit stuffy on a regular basis. Now, I'm not sure if a golden retriever's dander is the same as a lab, but I have a feeling I don't want to find out... Then there was another girl I talked to on the phone, but she has to be up here mid-July and hasn't even received the OK to move because her background check is pending...sketchy! The third girl had a higher budget than me, so I didn't want to hold her back. She ended up finding something really great, though, which makes me happy. I actually met her for dinner the other night...I'll tell you about that in a minute. The fourth girl was one I met at the Metro stop randomly, but her move in date is a bit before mine too. This wouldn't be an issue, except for the fact that I'd pretty much be paying two rents at once, which is something I don't really want to deal with!

Theeeeeeen, I went to look at a 2 bedroom 2 bath unit in Rosslyn, which was in a good location but NOT worth the money at ALL. Can you believe they were showing the apartment while two males lived in it?? It was SO GRODY! There's no way I would live there, pay all electric appliances, live in a tiny tiny apartment with the washer and dryer crammed into the community bathroom! No. freaking. way! I rushed out of there as soon as I could! I think I was being rude, actually...haha.

After work, however, I met another girl whose roommate is moving out. All I can say is: SO WORTH IT!!! Unfortunately, I am competing with a bunch of other girls for it, though. Ugh. We'll see! It's so bright, light, and homey! The only thing is: no pool. No balcony. Oh well. That's alright, though, because the location is PERFECT!!!!!!!!! It's literally around the corner and a block down from my office!!! I'll keep you updated.

Gotta go- Anthony's calling - I'll type more later!
