Mass hallucination on the ballroom floor, an ancient rite of passage.

I am pondering moving ... again. There's no rush, but I am getting really tired of certain things about this apartment, like the disgusting smoke that wafts through from the other tenants and makes me sick to my stomach. The studs that are coming through the walls. The sheer lack of insualation, grounded outlets, or efficient heating. The ( Read more... )

ooo house hunting is fun. the moving part not so much. but the hunting and finding the perfect place = win.

maybe, since you aren't being forced out or anything, you can find yourself a place that WILL allow painting. it always drove me nuts as well. some places don't really care as long as you paint it back even or something. worth asking, at least!

I am tired of off-white/eggshell/ecru/whatever walls. Practically the first thing I do when I move somewhere is put interesting things to look at up on the walls!

The last few moves have been dictated by time constraints, so it was always a process filled with stress and a growing awareness of time slipping by. I would dearly love to be able to take my time and find a lovely place!

:) If you move, you may consider going to a Temp Agency and hiring a couple of guys to pack/unpack you. That's what we did when we moved here (we packed ourselves, but Bill threw out his back so he couldn't unpack). He went to the Agency, hired 2 big kids, and it took 'em 2 hours, and they got lunch and pay for a whole day. And all Bill had to do was point out where he wanted the stuff to go. It worked out SO well. It's an extra expense, but it may be worth it for your extensive library. :) Just a thought. Anyway, be safe and have fun with all of your upcoming events. :) ♥

I thought about hiring moving guys for my last one, but it was WAY expensive. I hadn't thought about a temp agency before - that is something to look into, definitely! Thanks for the tip!

Hope your bridal shower went well today!
