::move:in:day::

I am beginning to run slightly ragged here. I am on the peak of actually passing out as I sit here writing this before work and am in dire need of some sort of food because my stomach will begin to feed on itself.
I am in a complete brain fog right now and am pretty damn sure that this post is going to be a lot of 'random ramblings' by the 'darling miss G'. 

Packing is packing...can't do anything about that except throw everything in a big box and lug it over to the new digs. Unpacking is going to be interesting to say the least. I will share with you some pros and cons of the new place. 

Let's begin with the cons...because I am a negative person and always think half glass...wait, it's all the way empty! (just kidding)

Windows. 

The windows are absolutely filthy. I can wash the inside of them; sure. But I can't very well hover in the air outside and clean them. I don't even think a ladder would reach them and I believe that is a hazard in itself and feel as if I would be fined for doing something so retarded on my own; then again I might get asked to clean other people's windows and I have a part-time job on the side. 

So I am really hoping - keeping my fingers mega-crossed - that some annual window washer extraordinaire is going to come in and wash all the windows from old man winters tarnished grime.

Wasted Space.
I am not going to sit on this topic too long because in the grand scheme of things the apartment is freakin' huge. But honestly, I don't need a grand entrance. The entrance in itself could be a room of it's own. Seriously. 

Small Bedrooms.
I am curious how we are going to fit our bedroom set into this new apartment. We may have to just throw the vanity in a separate room. 

Come to think of it, when we bought the bedroom set in the first place we didn't bother measuring anything, we just went with it! I am not sure if we just had a magical presage where we would know that it would fit into our current bedroom and the delivery guys would have to make due ~ now that would have been interesting. 

Either way. It is what it is. 

Ensuite Shower.

It's one of those showers where there is just a lip there...like at a hotel. 

No bath tub...enough said. 

With that, thank God there is a tub in the apartment (the main bathroom unfortunately though) because I would have refused to move in if there wasn't one. 

Okay, now onto the proooo's! I can't be a complete debbie-downer about this entire thing...which it is easy for me to do because I am running on empty here and could pretty much eat 30 big Mac's right now.
Windows.
Yea, I know..wait, what? I just complained about them! 

Only that they are dirty, but that is easily rectifiable. 

I *adore* my windows. They are HUGE. Like, freaking HUGE. And that is amazing to me. Living in a basement for five years and working in places that have no windows for the past 5 as well has had me in hermit mode for what feels like ages. When the weekends roll around I have a requirement of being outdoors. So this is going to be fantastic.

Walk-In Closets.
That is right...closet(S) with an SSSSS. TWO of them! 

I have always wanted a walk in closet and I get one! And it's biiiiig. And has it's own shelves! I am so excited. So maybe at the end of the day the vanity being in the other bedroom won't be so bad. :P

Fireplace.

Okay, it's not a legit, log-cracklelackin' chimney type thing but it is still a damn fireplace! I could put it on and then go into an ambiance app and put the noise on and voila! 

Okay but seriously, it's a cutesy little fake one...it does emit heat though. I will be excited to sit in front of it on a big-ass pillow with a book in the dead of Winter while it blusters about outside. How snug as a bug in a rug.
In-Suite Washer & Dryer.
I don't have to lug laundry back and forth and worry that someone is going to steal my underwear! Weee!!

Oh...and I don't have to carry a ziplock bag topfull of quarters. 

Kitchen.
You can pretty much ask anyone. 

I get involved with my kitchens. Seriously. 

I *live* in my kitchen.
Even when I have had a crazy busy day and am a walking zombie in need of dire sleep I will still cook. I love to cook. I love cookbooks. Food Network. Kitchen appliances. Wooden spoons. Counter appliances. Fridges. Stainless steel. Pantry's. Oh my.

I love kitchens. 

When we move into our own big-ass house I am going to have a big-ass kitchen. 

Oh, and a big-ass bathtub too. 

But anyways. This kitchen is sooooo much bigger then what I am cooking in right now. So much and I have my own damn island too!! I am seriously excited. 

Oh! And I have a full-size fridge and a dishwasher!!! GAHHH!! I have a built-in pantry with shelves and 19 cupboards. NINETEEN! 

The sinks could be a bit bigger. Hahah. 

I have a built-in shelf for my microwave and the island has a HUGE space underneath where you can put whatever you want in there AND when I am standing there cooking I overlook the living room and the entire view of the river. Omg. I am in love. 

Like I said...I'm a bit of a fanatic.

Okay...I could keep going but I think that is enough for now. Don't want to bore people out of their minds. I just thought I would share a little more about our new place. I am really looking forward to it and will share more pictures as we go along. I know I sound like I just *bought* a house but regardless I am excited!! 

So that is that! 

I should probably post an editorial or something. So stay tuned for that. :)
