Moving

If all goes well, I will be moving May 1. Tonight, I went to look at an apartment in East Boston. Assuming my references check out and my check clears, the apartment will be mine. Look at this picture and tell me why my inner aviation geek had a boner the whole time I was… Continue reading Moving

Smoke

It only gets worse. My landlord called me back, and I explained the situation. He agrees that he has a bad tennant upstairs but because she’s section eight, he can’t easily get rid of her, especially in the winter. He feels bad for me and is going to let me out of my lease. He’s… Continue reading Smoke

I’m fairly low maintenance in that sense. The screws were loose on my doorknobs, and I tightened them. My upstairs neighbors,… Continue reading Poor landlord

Haymarket

The pugs woke me up early this morning. That wasn’t too big of a surprise. So I jumped in the car and parked at the Wonderland T station. I jumped on the blue line and headed to Boston’s Haymarket.  (more, more) It was an incredible haul. This is so much cheaper than going to the… Continue reading Haymarket

Snow storm?

A snowstorm? WTF? It was 50 degrees here yesterday! I read a lot of blogs. One of my favorites is Murphy the Pug. I finally got to meet the Murph Man today and Sam, his mom. I met them while we were working on the pug village scrapbook that I’d mentioned earlier. Leslie, the hostess,… Continue reading Snow storm?
