I know i’s just water weight, thank you very much. But it’s still nice to see a difference according to the scale. I know I won’t be weighing in every week, a lot of it depends on when we are at her house or my house (it’s advised to always weigh in on the same scale at about the same time/day each week). And next week, I will probably be home since I have a *ahem* party to attend on Saturday evening.We ate like crap this weekend, going out with D-Rock, her girl Jen and a couple of other friends Friday to Margarita’s, then playing pool–we tried to eat well, but then wound up drinking a ton. Ah well. Then, we went to check out apartments with Amanda, and got to one of the appointments early and were hungry. So we started walking around and found ourselves a TacoBell …yeah.
Speaking of the apartments, we had appointments to see three, and wound up seeing 5 because the first landlady we met with in Melrose had a couple of other places right in the same lot that she was in the process of redoing. The first one (the one we scheduled) SUCKED! No water pressure when others in the building used water, one of the bedrooms was half the size of the other, and the stairs were wicked narrow. The second place she showed us really wasn’t 2 bedrooms–one of the “rooms” was really a dining room with a sliding door and no closet. Yeah….how about “no.” The third one…a gorgeous 2-family with hardwood floors and 5 rooms. The downside–it’s $1300/month with nothing included, and no laundry on the premises. Not to mention the fact that it’s really not that close to the T.
Then is was off to Somerville. The first place–PERFECT except for the neighborhood. No utilities, but that’s to be expected in the city–none of the places had utilities included. And I’d really like to try to get a place without carpeting and with off-street parking. The second place–MUCH better neighborhood, $100 cheaper/month AND closer to Sullivan Sq. But, it looks like it hasn’t been updated since the 70’s–still has the original fake wood paneling. EEE. So, I’m going to look around for more places to check out and hopefully go next Saturday to see a few more places.
