boxes!!!

we need boxes, lots of boxes! why? because today was the best day EVER! the day we have been waiting for since July or August of last year finally happened. they came to put the notice on our door saying the bank owns this unit now =) =) =) =) =) most people might be really pissed that this happened to them, but not us! this means that we no longer have to pay rent to the former douchebag owner AND the bank will give us "cash for keys" to help us relocate.

i knew this month was different, that gut instinct to not pay rent right away...and it paid off. it makes me shudder to think that if we had paid rent that Tom wouldn't have said anything to us like "oh yeah hey, here's your rent back because the foreclosure on the unit is being finalized", he wouldn't have given it back, he would have just taken it like the greedy bastard that he is.

the day started off pretty well....mum decided that the blond was washing out her color too much so we went and got some beautiful red hair dye, came home and hooked her up. i've always wanted to see her with red hair and well i'll be damned if it doesn't look spectacular on her =)

then it just kept getting better. mum called Lavington, the people who manage the apartments that we moved out of to move here (oh how i wish we had never moved here)....they have a 1 bedroom available in the same building we moved out of! we set up an appointment to look at it this wednesday. mum is pretty confident that it's a "sure thing"....me being the ever pessimistic person that i am, have my reservations, but that's prolly just me not wanting to jinx it =)

not 10 minutes after we got off the phone to set up the appointment they came to post the notice. it was the icing on the cake, put everything into perspective, made everything feel right.

we're going home!
