Before my job here in orlando went all wacky i had a different boss. she gifted me with a watch on my last day. it's really pretty. much prettier in person than in this picture. it's a white face with concentric scallop groves and blue metallic numbers. it's really quite stylish and i can't stop looking at it. i don't know that i would have picked it up myself, because i would have thought it too classy. i guess i have class, because it looks effing great on me :) It's kind of fitting she gave me a watch. i usually buy myself a new watch to celebrate a new job. When i move to orlando, my mom got wind that i was buying myself a new watch and bought me a bulova as well. great brand if you can get it. i've been extraordinarily lucky.
save the sugar sculpture from this cake?
anyone have any ideas?
today was my last day of work for a while. next week i will be searching for a home. the week after i will be actually moving. i officially start February 4th.
Things i need/want eventually
- curtains for the florida room. the one side has some cute bamboo curtains. i like that but i think i want fabric backed curtains for a bit more privacy. by the door is 58 inches and the back window is about 88 inches.
- new shower corner shelf
- new shower handle. i want one of the shower heads like this
- microwave stand, preferably one with a shelf for toaster oven such as this
- rug for the hall
- rug for the computer room
- curved shower rod like this the current one is screwed in. i think a curved one would work well.
- an over the toilet shelf for the bathroom. we do not have much counter space at all
- couch for living room. sitting on cushions is going to get old.
so i find this piece of paper in my door today. time to renew my lease. when i started at this place, my rent was $740. one bedrrom with washer/dryer/all appliances, a nice big round tub, and an attached garage. i thought this a bargain. it was just me and i liked the attached garage. this was also 2 years ago. now my rent is going to be over $900 for a small one bedroom. time for boy and i to move. i just hate looking for a place to live. this also means packing up everything i own again. ugh. my apartment is upstairs. i'm not strong enough to move this stuff, so i'll have to enlist a professional. when i moved in, the company paid to move all my crap. the movers even hooked up my tv. i guess i looked cute that day or something.
to compound to hassle of looking for a place to live, anywhere we choose has to be close to a bus stop so boy can get to and from work. and since he works a crazy ass night shift, i'll have to take into consideration how late the busses run.
fun + one.
