Thursday 11.05.06 – Sunday 11.08.09

I started loft hunting online and went to look at 3 places on Thursday afternoon. There is one company in town that manages a lot of the properties I was interested in so it makes things easy when you are coordinating viewings. I am going to just skip the boring shit and tell you that I got a place 3 blocks from my office that I have been thinking about for 12 years. It is the strangest thing…. I was visiting someone in this particular unit forever ago and have seriously thought about it at least once a year since that day. I drive by the building every day and always think to myself “If I ever have the chance to live in a loft dowtown I would want that unit in that building.” And as luck has it, that was one of the units that recently opened up. It’s fate. Really. The layout is very unique and it has a bunch of weird nooks and levels. I am in love with this place! And the best part is that I will be able to take most of my furniture with me… Kim is helping me coordinate this entire move otherwise I would have a nervous breakdown. lol

I spent the weekend going through the crap in my closets, garage, etc… I am like the people on the show Hoarders. Ok, not really that bad, but I do have an unnecessary amount of stuff. Do I really need to bring that rusty Hardy Boys lunch box? Prolly not. (without the thermos, it isn’t worth anything anyways) The other ironic thing about this sudden move is that my neighborhood has coordinated a block yard sale next weekend. Timing is everything! I am looking forward to living downtown for the first time ever. I have always had a house with a dog and this is going to be a very new experience for me.

Everything happens for a reason. If someone tells you otherwise, kick them in the shins.
