So for all my bellyaching, you may be surprised to find out that I totally FREAKING love my new apartment! The interior is more like 1989 rather than 1983 like the model had and there is a ginormous tree that shades us, gives us privacy, and makes me feel like a fairy princess. It's also the most happenin' place in the neighborhood to hang out (if you are an 8 year old). There is tons of storage in our place, new carpet, full size washer and dryer (Scottie was thrilled that his towels no longer smell like mildew the way they did when we had a half size set), and best of all the neighbors are some of the best people I have ever met! They are not just cordial, they are like, "hey new best friends, come over and have tons of fun with us!" So cool! It just couldn't be better. I'm totally surprised that I am so happy considering that I usually view any change as only bad. It's great, or at least it will be once I can walk without stubbing my toe on boxes! So here are the awesome stories so far (I'm sure there will be plenty more).
First of all, when we were moving in, Scottie bent down to pick up a box, only to turn his head to the side and watch a little kid standing about 4 feet away, pull down his pants and pee on our step!! So funny!
The next morning when I left for work, there was cat puke on the steps, and when I returned there were used Q-tips laying all over the place. The steps are D-I-R-T-Y to say the least, but I love how random the crap on them is!
On our first full day there, Scottie called me and said, "well, it's our first day in our new place and so far I stole and I looked at porn". Apparently, some little kids found some "adult" playing cards and when they walked away Scottie stole them and threw them away! At least I think he threw them away.... j/k.
Pee, porn, thievery, puke, and earwax. Now this is the life!
P.S. So far the best part about living in a poor neighborhood is that you can get cheap and delicious fried stuff almost anywhere! Frybread, Mmm....
