Livin' the life

I moved into a new place in Queen Anne and I must admit, it's pretty much awesome. Two blocks from work which means a lot less driving. Here's what the new place has to offer that the old place was lacking.

-Ridiculously close to work
-1 1/2 blocks from a grocery store
-2 blocks from drug store
-Tons of restaurants
-Tons of randoms
-Tons of joy

To give you an idea of how flippin' sweet the new set up here's my walk to work.

Out my front door at 8:27. I walk down the street to cross my apartments cross streets. Directly at 10 o'clock I can see the Space Needle tower over me. In the distance I can see the top of the Columbia Tower, the tallest building in Seattle. So good. I walk down the block and cross over another street with a lot of choice restaurants and a Radio Shack in case I'm ever in need. Down the next block is a danish bakery est. in 1965, that's what it's window claims anyway. The fresh baked pastries smell so incredible every single morning. Maybe one day I'll slip in for a treat. Next to it is an old fashion barber shop, and then a key making place which I've already visited (to make extra keys for the apartment). Then, work. I'm sitting at my desk at exactly 8:30. Absolutely perfect.

What I'll miss about my Greenlake house.

-Free laundry
-Parking
-My roommates craziness, it actually was mildly entertaining
-...okay I have nothing else

In addition I've joined weight watchers and I'm in my third week. This week I've lost 3.2 pounds. Brings me down about 6 lbs. I'm pushing for another 10 or so and then I think I'll be okay. My clothes are already getting kinda baggy and as much as I'd love to go shopping for a bunch of new clothes....I don't have the funding yet.

House warming party tomorrow night. I don't have a couch. People will enjoy my soft, sultry carpet. Meh.

Sunday is the boyfriend's birthday.

Next week a PRSSA buddy is in town for the weekend. We're going to Portland for the friend Thanksgiving. I'm really excited. A friend from highschool moved to Portland this last week and it will be so nice to see her. Help get her settled in her new space and introduce her to friends. Give her the same kindness that was given to me when I first arrived here.

Three days later I'll be in Boston for Thanksgiving. Chris is coming. So good to see family. I can't wait to see my cousins and aunts and uncles. Not my mom and brothers, but I'll see them a month later. I hope. Anyone want to fund me flying home? Now accepting donations.
