(no subject)

I'm in my new apartment and stealing internets, so sshhhh!  We have to be sneaky! 

Okay, not really, but I'm excited to have internet, no matter how I get it! 

So the new place is gorgeous, and keeps surprising me on it's size.  I've moved a bunch of stuff in, including my bed, a new old couch and chair, so I have places to sleep and places to sit.  Very important in a new place.

Hit the jackpot at the thrift stores today and yesterday, hauling home a couch, wingback chair (they clash against each other horribly, and against the rug I picked up the other day.  It's so awesome.), on tall and one short lamp, a bunch of dishes and bowls and assorted other thingers for the kitchen, and an old scale that I think is from the 50's that's going to match my bathroom beautifully!

But oh, the bathroom.  I lucked out, the kitchen is all re-done, with new appliances.  The downside of this is that I have the original 1950's (pink) bathroom, that is very (pink) rough around the edges, and oh, did I mention pink?  The tub, surrounding tiles, and sink are all this light shade of pink that screams 1950's. 

And if the 2+ hours it took to clean the tiles and tub are any indication, it hasn't been cleaned since then, either. 

Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating, but they were pretty awful.  I wish I'd taken a before and after picture, but I forgot my camera.  :(  Still, it was worth the work, because the tiles are gleaming again, and they actually look quite nice!  I don't mind the pink at all, especially if I do the black accents that I'm considering.  The best part, though, was finally having the shower I've been lusting for all day.  There was no way I was going in that thing before it was thoroughly scrubbed.

Anywho, I'm to bed.  So pooped.  And so much to do tomorrow.  While I adore moving in, moving truly is for the birds.

I am officially moved in!

Got everything into my apartment today.  Well, everything that's in the city.  I have a whole lot of stuff stored at my parents place, but that's for another weekend.

I've basically been cleaning like crazy.  Finished off the bathroom.  Turns out that the grey fake grouting between the fake tiles in the linoleum was actually white.  Glad I opted to scrub it too.  Looking down, the kitchen linoleum could also use a scrub, but it's not nearly as bad.

Unfortunately, I have to work tomorrow, so I won't be up much later to work on this place.  I'll just be glad once I get all of my dishes washed and finish cleaning, so I can get down to actually organizing and decorating, which is the best part of moving in.

Last night I got a decent sleep here.  But man was I freaked out early this morning.  Not sure if it's just because I was half asleep, but I could've sworn there was someone walking around in my apartment.  I was pretty freaked out, and was too afraid to move.  After a couple minutes though, I figured out that it was actually the woman in the apartment above me walking around, as I guess her floors are pretty creaky too.  Ah strange sounds in a new apartment.  

Or at least, I think it was the lady above me...
