Total Bust
When looking for apartments, it's important not to read too much into the listings themselves. Cozy = small, hardwood floors = worn & weathered flooring, and bay windows = perfect view of any and every drug deal that goes down in front of your apartment. Oh and small room = former walk-in closet.
While the apartment search this past weekend was a total bust, I did meet my future roommate (Ashley) & her boyfriend (Corey). We even went to dinner at Nick's Crispy and he bought us gals Cosmos and himself a beer. I suffered through the entire cosmo all the while eyeing his beer. It was a nice gesture so I didnt share that I hate anything fruity and vodka-filled.
Out of the seven apartments, only one was worth applying for. I called the owner, Claire, today to follow-up. We didn't get it, despite offering $300 more a month. Boo. It went to the people that applied right before us. Despite not giving the apartment to us, Claire still wanted to be my best friend. She couldn't believe how many people applied and how she needs to rush out and get her real estate license. And somewhere in between telling me we didnt get it and saying good-bye, she managed to get in there how she takes a belly dancing class in Mission. Hmm. I wish I had a picture of fuzzy gray-haired Claire and her husband Sherman Liu so that all of you could visualize this with me. Very disturbing.
And now for some random tips for when you come to visit me:
-Expect to share the I-5 with about 25 dumptrucks FULL of tomatoes, 1 truck full of garlic, and 2 carrying banana peppers. I have no idea where they were being driven, but I have a feeling someone up north is making some serious marinara sauce. Or even salsa.
-Expect High Wind areas & Gusty Winds. The signs aren't lying.
-Drive until you reach Kettleman City...they have an In-n-Out, which is a rare find out on the open road.
-Don't expect to spend less than $12 at Sweet Tomatoes...apparently they don't honor AAA memberships. Bastards.
-Before returning home, get breakfast at McDonald's. They still offer the yummy bagel sandwiches that our McDonalds in Southern Cali got rid of.

Hellooooo All!
Everything I typed up to this point was boring. So I'll just say this...I need a blog to keep you all up to date on my life after I move up north. I have no idea what to expect so you'll have to suffer through the boring posts until I actually make friends :) And no, none of them will ever come close to the friendships I have with all of you.
So here's a quick list of all that I have going on before the big move:
7/20-7/22 - San Fran to apartment hunt & meet future roomie
7/26-8/6 - Jasper trip with Mom& Mary
8/17 - moving :(
Let's make plans!!!
