Living the Dream
So, it's been a little while. :)
As it almost goes without saying, it's been a nutty month and a half. Work deadlines were keeping me heads down for a couple of weeks, but more recently, I'm happy to announce that the move has happened!
Learning from my previous moves, I cracked open my wallet and sprung for the U-Haul to move myself in one pass, instead of using family-borrowed pickup trucks that have typically had me moving all day. With the help of Bristow, DavPan, Kezia, Bram, and a couple others, Bram and I both got our stuff moved in by 3:30pm.
My room didn't take long to setup the furniture in my room. A little too quick--with the 10ft ceilings and hardwood floors of the house, my college-grade furniture didn't quite fit. A lot of time has been spent in the recent weeks to do some upgrading, starting with a queen size matress (I still feel like I'm swimming in bed). A chest of drawers and a nightstand are on order from Overstock.com and a small rug arrived last Saturday from Costco.com. Marcie has leapt at the chance to be my interior decorator and we'll be doing some painting to warm the place up a bit. I'm pretty excited about it, ableit impatient to get the room done.
Capital Hill living agrees with me. Prior, I was driving from the eastside into Seattle seven or eight times a week and having to fill up my car about every six days. Since I've moved into the city and started taking the bus (the new house is strategically located near the bus line which takes me to Microsoft), I've only filled up once, and that's only because it was convienent. Couldn't come at a better time, considering the price of gas around here.
Living with Bram is going to whip me into shape, which is something that I'm looking forward to. Endurance climbing workouts in the morning and biking to work and back, just to name a couple things we've done. Our third roommate, Dave, a friend of mine from high school, will be joining us tomorrow. We're planning on doing some snow camping over Memorial Day weekend for some roommate bonding time.
Housewarming BBQ on Memorial Day Monday! Stay tuned!
