What I've Been Up To

I am behind in email so I haven't been sending much to all of you.

But, I did get a place with my friend, BP. Photos are on the right hand side (picasa link). It is a great 3 bedroom, two bathroom place in the Arbor Lodge neighborhood of Portland. My commute will suck but the place is really nice and perfect for all of the animals. Yes, animals. I am going to live with cats for the first time in my life. I am sure Dr. Seuss and Parnell will love Elston and she will be nice to the boys. We are crossing my fingers on my allergies.

We get the keys on the 14th and I need to be out of my apartment at the end of the month. I am going to start packing today. At least I am not moving cross-country so I can be a little more sloppy to prevent breakage. Stressed? A little.

It is also a little sad packing up this place. This apartment was such a great place for me to land when I first arrived in Portland. My friends have moved out of the building so the dorm atmosphere changed and my view of Mt Hood is disappearing with the building of a Whole Foods a few blocks away.

Congrats! Looks cute. And I'm jealous of the dishwasher.

As for your allergies, might I recommend Zyrtec? It worked for me.

Very cool! I wondered if y'all would get a place together at some point. Seemed like it would save some $$.

Yea, we thought it was time. We will definitely save lots of money. We seem to have a good understanding of our boundaries, so we don't anticipate any problems. We are both equally neurotic. Plus, we have instant pet care.

Shana - I used to Zyretc but it lost its effectiveness after several years. Allegra is my friend.

Looks very cute! I like the tiling in the kitchen and the color of the dining room. Good luck with the move! Where is the Arbor Lodge neighborhood?
