This week has been pretty uneventful, except for getting an interview at Trader Joe's. I love that store. So many weird people working there and lots of yummy food! I hate applying for jobs like that though, especially retail. It's filled with fake politeness and pretentious small talk. But I can't really be picky right now... I HAVE to get a job ( Read more... )

I'm sitting in a coffee shop across the street from our new house listening to Amon Tobin and drinking yummy coffee. It's funny that I actually like it here in A2.. cool town, lots of nice people, convenient home location. I wish I could say that's all I needed to stay and deal with all the relationship problems. I wanted to hate it here so much so ( Read more... )

Serge and I finally decided on the student housing in Michigan. That means we can't bring the cats, but we have found good homes for them with family (my mom and Serge's brother Mike). I'm going to miss them a lot, but I think it'll be for the best. Oh, and they don't allow you to paint the walls there. Assholes. I guess I'll be hanging a bunch of ( Read more... )

I have an unhealthy obsession with smells. I could live in a Yankee Candle magazine. If I wasn't so into animal biology, etc. I would totally do olfactory science. Wearing O today, one of my top 10 BPAL perfumes.. om nom nom nom- "The scent of sexual obsession, slavery to sensual pleasure, and the undercurrent of innocence defiled utterly. Amber ( Read more... )

Recently Serge and I took off our home phone line, and the past two months we've only been getting charged for DSL (about $20). Well, you know how these places have like extra charges for stuff, so I didn't think about it when our bill was around $35 the last couple of months. Out of curiosity, I looked at our most recent bill and we were getting ( Read more... )

Trying to find a rental house or apartments around $800/month is like slowly pulling teeth from my mouth. I'm not even kidding. There are a couple of apartments that MIGHT be in our price range, but they don't have their availability for July yet, which means I have to sit here and wait. Also, if one does become available, we would have to give ( Read more... )

Dude, when looking at bus routes to U of M from different addresses I noticed that Google maps has a Realty search. I wish I was more tech savvy, I would totally work for Google. They are taking over the world ( Read more... )

Serge and I watched this wretched, pointless movie last night from the 80s called Street Trash. It was relatively enjoyable nonetheless, but still a WTF movie.

I had an anxiety attack last night after my insomnia kicked in at 3am. I was going over all of these things that are going on right now with moving. What if we can't rent our house soon ( Read more... )

And it's updated regularly! I had to cross off two rental properties last night because of this, which I'm definitely not complaining about. It's really unfortunate that we cannot stay a week up there to check things out, or at least know someone ( Read more... )

I hate this limbo when you go from one bank to another. The Georgia Federal Credit Union will not send our debit cards for our new checking account until there is a min. of $100 in the account (I get that, fine), OR you set up Direct Deposit. Rockdale is initiated mine, but my paycheck won't go in there until April 17th. Then it's going to take 7- ( Read more... )
