The Search for a new apartment begins!

Today we finally went to look at one of the apartments for 745.00. The apartment is in a nice neighborhood. And the inside of it looks nicer than what we have now. It has a master bedroom and a regular sized bedroom, kind of like our old place at West Grove. There's also a light in the hallway. That's a plus. What's interesting is the landlord of the apartment we looked at today happened to be the parent of somebody that Jason went to high school with. I will say, the apartment unit we looked at and the neighborhood where it's located was nice. But I'm not getting my hopes up. There's no guarantees that we'll get the apartment. So I'm probably going to have to hold off on taking any pictures of the place until I know for sure we've got it. There maybe 2 other apartments we want to look at before making a decision. Either way, I'm not saying anything just yet on facebook on whether or not we'll be moving back into Waukesha.

Spring cleaning

Well, tonight, Jason and I ended up doing a little bit of spring cleaning. But I figured that maybe from now for the next 3 or 4 months, I should make sure I keep this place where we're living a little cleaner, because we're probably not going to be living in Palmyra for too much longer. Anyways, the other day I left a voice mail for a landlord to check out an apartment in Waukesha that I mentioned in the last blog. Well, today she called me back about the apartment. So on Monday, we have an appointment to look at the unit. But there are no guarantees that we'll be moving there when our lease is up. Either way, I'm looking forward to checking the place out on Monday. I know we're definitely going to have to do some looking at apartments, this summer. Preferably ones that will at least let you have cats. So far, I know that the apartment we'll be looking at has air conditioning in it, like our old place did at West Grove. That's a plus. It's also internet...

Thoughts about random stuff

Well, let's see. I know that I don't want to live in Palmyra for another year. Jason doesn't, either. This means, that with May being right around the corner, we are going to have to let the landlord know that we do plan on moving back out of Palmyra, into Waukesha when our lease is up. I guess this means that come May and through out this summer, we really need to start looking at places in Waukesha. Preferably a place located in a nice neighborhood, pet friendly, has 2 bedrooms. Maybe has a balcony or a porch with outlets into the wall outside, so in case we want to listen to the radio outside, or plug in holiday lights, later in the year. Hopefully some place that's nicer than where we are, now. It might not have a walk in closet or a dish washer, but maybe it'll still be some where nicer than where we are, now. All I know is, one day we will end up leaving Palmyra. And when we do, we'll be leaving there, for good. Anyways, if you were to experience how the ...

The apartment search has officially begun!

So, last night Jason mentioned something to me about moving back into Waukesha. He said that if I wanted to move back into Waukesha, then we'd better start looking for apartments, now. Well, anyways, where we're living in Palmyra, if we do plan on moving out when our lease is up, we need to let our current land lord know that we're moving again 3 months in advance. And with the month of May being right around the corner, I think it's best we start looking, soon. Luckily, I was able to go on the website, coolpads.com and found 2 apartments under 800.00 that will accept cats. Because right now, if we get another new apartment in Waukesha, I know that whether or not it has a dish washer or a walk in closet is probably the least of our worries. The important thing right now is that we're able to get something that's within a range we can afford that's not in the ghetto. Another important thing is that we can have pets there.Luckily, I was able to look up 2 diffe...

Finally, Spring weather is here!

Well, this has been an interesting month. And unfortunately not as good of a month as I would like it to be. Right now my boyfriend and I have been struggling to find a good job and keep it. On the plus side of things, as of this last weekend through this week and next week, temperatures are finally getting into the 50's through the 70's. And it's about time, too. Good bye, 30 and 40 degree weather. I'm sorry, but temperatures only being in the 30s and 40's when it's the month of April just isn't acceptable. At least on the last day of this month, it's going to be much warmer than what it was at the end of April of last year. And it's about time, too. Last Wednesday we had a snow storm, which I think is absolutely ridiculous for this time of year. I mean, really? It should NOT be snowing in April. As far as my boyfriend and I are doing, financially, we are struggling with finding a job and keeping it. I tried going to 2 different temp agencies, whe...

This week's weather forecast

Well here we are, another week of April. Last month, temperatures were only in the high 30's and low 40's all month long. It might have felt good in the beginning but not by the end of the month. That's pretty messed up. And most of last week, temperatures have pretty much been the same. Fortunately as of tomorrow, it's finally supposed to get up into the 50's from then until Saturday this week. Good bye 30 degree temperatures. Unfortunately temperatures are going to return to the high 30's on Sunday and Monday, but it should warm up next week after that, into the higher 40's and hopefully the 50's. That's where it needs to be. No more snow, no more 30 and 40 degree weather. Next Tuesday through Thursday temperatures are going to be close to the 50's. But as for temperatures getting into the 50's and 60's later this week, I really wish they could just stay up there for the rest of the month. That's what Spring should feel like.Winter ...

April

Well, here we are at the start of another month. You'd think by now, it would be much warmer. Through out this whole last month, temperatures have pretty much only been in the 30's and 40's. Maybe it did spike into the higher 40's and low 50's. Other than that, this weather has been kinda crappy, temperature wise. Now, I'll admit, 40 to 50 degrees in January and February felt good. Doesn't feel so good in March, though. I like when it gets warm like that in January in February. What I don't like is when temperatures get into the 40's and 50's in January and February, but it can't even get into the 50's and 60's for the months of March and April, and temperatures have to be much warmer in the later winter months than they do in the spring months. It's like this weather just doesn't want to cooperate. Last week I got lined up with a temporary job that starts tomorrow. I just hope I can hang in there and get through this, conside...
