More apt hunting and any advice?

I went to another apt. today. It's in Back Bay basically right on Mass. Ave. It would be very convenient to work, just go over the Mass. Ave. bridge and I'm there. The building was nice and secure w/ elevator, laundry downstairs, though the apt. was on the first floor so don't need the elevator. Laundry is good though! it's a small one bedroom. you walk in and you're in the kitchen. step forward and you're in the living room. to the left is the little bedroom and there's a bathroom. probably enough space for me, and better than a studio because there's a separate bedroom even if it is small. the realtor guy sucked, he was late and then didn't have the key to the apt. just to the front door so i had to wait even longer for him to go get the key. meanwhile another realtor came to show these 2 girls and after they were done he let me look real quick. then he of course gave me his card and said he had the best apts, of course you do. so i keep waiting for my guy. he eventually comes and i take a better look. hardwood floors, high ceilings, everything seems nice, just a little small. it's available now so that's the biggest problem for me. i have another cheaper place to look at next wed. so i'm not making any decisions before that. but this back bay place is $1300/month, unless i take it sooner than later the realtor said i could get it for $1250 or $1275 maybe, whatever that means. i'd also have to pay this crummy realtor half fee. it comes w/ heat and hot water but i'd still have to pay for cable, internet... so it's kinda too expensive though i could probably manage somehow. i found out what my next raise will be end of july, basically enough to take the place and i always have the backup credit cards. anyway, i have another place in harvard sq. to look at that's a one bedroom for $1100 and everything included, even cable and internet. so anyway, that's the latest.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I've said it to some of you but not everyone until now. Thanks to those who've sent me Happy Valentine's Day wishes and I've gotten all kinds from homemade cards, Facebook stuff, texts, chats, phone calls, well actually baby called me at work from London but he said nothing about wishing me a happy valentine's day, he basically laughed a lot into the phone and inquired about what i'd 'gotten' for vday.

well i just bought myself some candy. i can't go a valentine's day w/out candy let alone any old day, even if i have to buy it for myself. i was walking down charles st., i went to look at an apt. in back bay and walked home from there, so was passing the awesome 711 on charles st. rr and jenn clued me in to this place and the great candy. rr is probably the only person i know who's into candy, i wouldn't say like me, but he's into it. kinda makes problems when we try to share because they compare me to cleo trying to scarf down food she's not supposed to when you've caught her and are going to stop her because i inhale the stuff so fast, i guess so i don't have to share it. i'm rude like that.

anyway i got a long stick of laffy taffy and then i was looking for the carnival skittles rr turned me onto last time we were there. i couldn't find them! they had every flavor of skittle but those. just as i was to settle for a different flavor i noticed them in a different spot. they only had 3 bags left so i bought them all!

what else do i have planned for vday? tonight is track! always my favorite night of the week. the workout isn't that exciting but i think jake changed his mind and will come to run w/ me, tara won't be there :0( and jos should be there too.

hope you're all luckier than me tonight.
