Found a house in Hamilton
So before I tell you this story, I should let you know. About a month ago, I had a house. It was literally 3 minutes from my work and in a house with a nice old lady. Last Thursday, I called and found out that she gave it away since I didn't leave her a deposit (which I was going to pay on thursday). Thus, I was homeless.
Today, I went to see 3 houses.
House 1: smelly, sketchy, small, and dark. Not a great first impression of Hamilton to my mother.
House 2: creepy sums it up. The listing said it was a family home and asked for a girl. I went and sure, I get the whole top floor with kitchen, 2 bedrooms, and bathroom for 300, but the main floor has a creepy old man who has no family. Something just creeped me out.
House 3: loved it. The lady who owns the house is super super nice and I get the following for 450/month
- big room with a high ceiling
- Cable + Internet
- utilities
- a HUGE (larger than my parents') bathroom with a huge tub and a TV!!
- backyard with lounge chairs, garden, and bbq
- a really really nice laundry room with my dream laundry machines (LG)
Got tickets for attractions for our vacation
- San Francisco: Bedouin at the Wharf, Aquarium at the Wharf, tour to Alcatraz, Golden Gate Garden
- LA: Hollywood Bowl, Hollywood Blvd
- Vegas: Hoover Dam, Bellagio Hotel, Fremont Street Experience, Vegas Strip, Cirque du Soleil 'O'
- Grand Canyon: South Rim, Skywalk, Yaki Point
- Hawaii: Pearl Harbour Memorial, Whale Watching, surfing lessons, deep sea fishing, luau, volcano tour, parasailing, snorkeling
Watched the Time Traveler's Wife
New Theory: either watch the movie or read the book; don't do both. I felt like the movie ruined the book. They made Henry into too good of a guy and Clare into a less of an understanding person. The characters lacked depth and it was kind of disappointing. But it was still pretty okay.
Cut my hair
Yes, my long luscious hair is gone. Sniff. I now have a bob. maybe sometimes later I will edit this post and add a photo, but it's quite late and I realized I have to do pastoral prayer tomorrow, so i'm going to not go and look for a camera. And yes, Dolly, I saved the hair and will donate it on Monday morning :) It feels good :)
