OMIGOD!
I can't believe it. Paul and I just got back from looking at a couple apartments. The first one we looked at was nice, but the building smelled like piss and the area seemed a little rough. The superintendent was nice and very helpful. We looked at the place and then figured we would just move on. Then the super is like: "Wait a few minutes and I will show you a couple apartments that haven't been listed yet."
So we stand around for a bit and then the super takes us down to 112th and 7th avenue. One block from Central Park I might add. We walk into this apartment that is on the first floor of this BEAUTIFUL building. There is a lounge right outside of the apartment that has nice couches, a coffee table, and (randomly) 6 picutres of Marilyn Monroe a la Andy Warhol Style.
When the super opened the door, I screamed "Holy Shit!" and immediately went RUNNING through the place. I am still overwhelmed at what I saw. There are two bedrooms on the first floor (yes, you read that right...the first floor), a full bath, a beautiful kitchen, HUGE living room and a great view. Then, there is this long winding staircase that goes to the basement and this is the point in which I piss all over myself.
On the bottom level is the master bedroom and amazing full size bathroom. It is GIGUNDO! There is a good size sitting room outside this bedroom as well. UM!
There is this little hallway outside the master bedroom that leads to the backyard. UM! YES! BACKYARD! If Paul takes the place, and he will(!), he will have access to this strip of concrete backyard all for himself! Well, and his roommates can use it, I guess.
They have a dishwasher, fully renovated kitchen with a flat stove, silver chrome fridge, intercom system, night security guard, washer/dryer in the building...
MAN! I swear to God it's a mansion.
Now, how much is it you ask?
Yeah. Well only $2600.
I KNOW!
I sit here shocked to my core that he has stumbled across such an incredible deal! I am thrilled for him. He has been stressing about this move for months and it really seemed that he was going to have some major trouble in finding a place. But this is really going to work out for him and in such a wonderful way. He deserves it. The kid works harder than anyone I know and it's nice to be able to see him get something he really wants.
Plus, I get to live there with him whenever I want!!
I took a cab from this apartment to work. I was nervous that I was going to be late from my lunch break.
WELL GUESS WHAT?!?!?!?! The cab ride cost me $2.50 and it took only 4 minutes to get to work. UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
My commute now is an hour and when Kelly, Rita and I move to Brooklyn, it is going to be an hour and 20.
But now that is no real worry! I can stay at his place whenever I want and sleep until 8:30am and STILL be to work on time.
I am floored. This is all working out perfectly.
Thank the Lord!
Praise God!
Hallelujah Amen!
Whoo hoo!
Well, that's that. :-D
Tonight I have an interview at the Gap. Ugh. I have to get a second job and tonight will decide whether or not I am working there over the holidays. I am not that happy about it, but once I am making some extra cash, I think my opinion will change.
Wish me luck! I gotta be there by 5:15pm.
Yesterday Rita and I ran errands. We had the day off due to "Election Day" or some shit. We both went and voted, then I dropped off my Gap application and then we hit Target to buy her sister wedding presents. (The wedding is in 3 days! WOW!!!)
While at Target, Rita and I went over to the music section to see if Justin's new cd was in stock. It just came out yesterday morning, so I didn't think they would have any copies left. BUT THEY DID! I am so broke and knew that I couldn't buy it until next week. Next thing I know, Rita and I are wrestling eachother to the ground cuz she wanted to buy it for me. I really didn't want her to have to do that, but it was nice that she cared enough about my Justin obsession to help a brotha out.
She bought it for me and it was probably one of the nicest gifts I have ever been given. She bought me my boyfriend's solo debut album.
Wow. What a friend.
BTW...the cd is wonderful. I have listened to it all the way through about 5 times already; or course stopping to play the ones I like over and over. I LOVE IT!
After the interview tonight, Paul and I will make a nice romantic dinner together and settle in to watch a movie. I am thrilled to be able to spend the night with him. I can't WAIT until we are doing this all the time. Only 3 more weeks!
I am filled with such happiness and excitement right now.
What a day...
