The final phase
2006-02-04, 9:46 p.m.

I'm having an incredible urge to buy things. Lots of things... I just want to go on an irrational spending spree and having every major retail center at my fingertips via internet is very dangerous for me right now. I haven't bought anything yet, but my willpower is feeling as though it is about to take a powder. Perhaps I'll just go to Rhapsody and download a few songs. Maybe that will help.

We saw the apartment this morning. We were warned before hand that the people just moved out and so it wasn't going to be cleaned, painted or have any of the minor repairs done yet. I was prepared for that, and really it wasn't that bad, but there's just something about walking into a clean slate, pristine empty space to make you want to take it and make it yours. Since that's not exactly what we walked into, I was a little bit apprehensive. I'm sure it will be fine once I can get in there and go to work, and the one thing we couldn't get fixed, which was the carpet, the manager said that if we renew our lease in a year we could start asking to have it replaced then and certainly in 2 years we could have it done. For new carpet, they were going to take away the discount we were told we would get, or at least half of it. At that rate we might as well move around the corner from here to the place where we pay all the utilities ourselves. At least then we'd still be in the area.

And what are we getting for the price? The living area is about the size of our living room, dining room and kitchen, combined. Plus, the kitchen itself is about twice the size of our current kitchen and there's an extra bathroom, which we really don't need, but it comes with the package. Also, apparently the people who lived there before were smokers, but a new coat of paint should fix most of the issues associated with that. In the end, our little family has enough personality to fill any space, so none of it really matters anyway.

Moving day is in 3 weeks...
