You know you are living somewhere pretty damned cold when 40 degree weather hits and you roll down your windows to enjoy the tropical and balmy air. I went outside today while at work and felt like spring had sprung. It felt absolutely warm(ish). I checked, it was only 42 degrees. Still a lovely day. Makes me anticipate spring in Chicago.
So the offical hunt for a place to live is on. I saw 2 places today. Place #1 was a 4 bedroom in a west Chicago that I would share with 2 guys, one named Corey. Aw! Only $300! Huge room! Places to park! Too good to be true? I think so... Corey was nice, but I did not just get a homey vibe there. The furniture was straight out of '73, the bathroom was mirrored floor to ceiling (ew) and it stank so bad of smoke. I don't want all my pretty clothes smelling like smoke. So, PASS!
Then I went to see a studio in Benton Harbor, KICK ASS location. Sure it's "Boy's Town" but you can see the lake from the apartment. The first studio I saw you couldn't even turn around in, and the second was a decent size, but a little pricey. Not really, but for me, it was. Plus, do I want to live alone again? I can imagine being holed up in the smallish size apartment all alone with no one to hang with. There is no parking over there either.
So, back to square one.
I called this guy Aaron who had an kick ass ad and has a place in Wrigleyville overlooking the field. Pretty reasonable and after being on the phone with him for a bit thought he was super cool. Alas, his room was gone. But he hooked a sister up with a guy he showed his apartment to earlier. This guy wrote me an e-mail today that went like this:
bethany, aaron girard gave me your email and mentioned you were interested in moving to chicago. i tried to get the apartment with him, but i had called too late. aaron said the apartment below his is still open. the rent would be about the same per month. the only difference is you can't see as much of the field. I'm not sure if you got a chance to check the place out, but the location is unbelievable for the price. let me know if you still might be interested. i forgot my cell at home today, but you can contact me at work or through the sooner you let me kow the better because i don't see this place staying open for too much longer.

How exciting! This summer could be so fun if we get this together. Give me something to look forward please!
Watching American Idol. Once again, talent over beauty, even all the people who are making it, besides Julia, are cute as hell! Bring back Frenchie! Fox can show oral sex on Joe Millionaire but a contestant on American Idol can't have been on an adult website? Hell, that chick shlobbing Joe's knob was in bondage movies and they didn't kick her off.
Fox, you suck! But I love That 70s Show and if you take it off the air, I will hunt you down and bludgeon you.
