mailboxes are for mail. DUH.

so today i went to look at an "apartment" i was really excited to see. i had found it online, seen the floorplan, determined it was close to work, spoke to the leasing office on the phone, and had done all necessary research to determine it was worth a drive out to take a look. boy was i wrong. when i say that this place was about the size of my right ass cheek, im NOT kidding. (and trust me- i GET that my right ass cheek isn't necessarily the smallest of ass cheeks, especially when compared to other tinier girls' ass cheeks... but this place? wow.) i felt bad because when i initially met the leasing agent in person, i was my usual outgoing and friendly self, right? but upon entering the tiny mailbox of an apartment, before realizing what was happening, i heard myself say in the most disgusted of tones, "how do people actually LIVE here?"  i felt bad when i realized it was out loud that i said that, and not just in my head. but have no fear- i covered it up with a smile and laugh, and i think i made it outta there without offending anyone too terribly.

then my mom called me later tonight with this great idea. they have offered to help me buy a place of my own! she said she'd been researching for hours online after talking to me about (what will now be referred to as) my "mailbox" debacle, and she'd found this little condo that'd be just right for bristol and i. and what's even better?? is that it needs LOTS of my tender loving care to make it just right. and as we ALL know.... i LOVE house projects. this place is listed for dirt cheap too- which would make my mortgage payments only like $390/month or something crazy like that. it's not super big, but b and i don't need big! and it's in a charming little community too (yes- i DID load b up in the car at 11:30 at night to drive over there...) and it'd be MINE. to think that just hours ago, i was standing inside the mailbox and contemplating having to pay almost TWICE as much per month to live there!

so yeah- that's like the most exciting thing that could potentially happen to me in... well? i dunno.... A LONG TIME! please friends begin to think/pray/send GOOD VIBES my way about this working out. it would be an absolute DREAM come true!

oh my gosh. im SO excited!!!!! :)

ps- if you wanna check the link here ya go! but keep in mind.... my tlc will transform this place in NO time!
