Just a quick blog to let you know that my move went off with too much fuss.  I managed to tweak my bad knee and my back is sore, so I'm limping around like quasi moto today. *sigh* it happens!
 
After moving my mattress into my room, I discovered that M was wrong about it being full size.  It is a queen size, so I had to go exchange the sheets ......... again.  I spent my first night on them last night and they are sooooooooooooo worth it!  I'm totally going to buy another set for back up so that I will never again sleep on "inferior" sheets. :)
 
My landlord and the other residents of the house all helped me move things from the van into the room when I arrived.  They even hired someone to come in and give the house a top to bottom cleaning in honor of my arrival.  These men rock!
 
I even managed to stay above the zero balance on the bank account!  This is big news for me since I had anticipated a few expenses that might send me over.  Thanks to help from my new roommates and one of the nice men I'm dating I didn't have to hire any lifting help.
 
I'll get pictures tonight once the majority of my stuff is put away and the room looks liveable.  I am thrilled to report I'm 1 1/2 blocks from a Taco Bell and 1 block from a Starbucks!!!

    SM - thank you!!  So far this place has been great, and getting my privacy back has been the very best thing for me.

    yes u-i!!! Taco Bell run??? :-D things are lookin up!

    silver - you know it!  I have caffeine and greasy food within walking distance!  This could prove to be my undoing.

    So glad you are free of that prissy M person and Satan ( although I still kinda feel for that poor dog). 

    That's so sweet that your new landlords helped you out. 

    Just think, you';; finally get to be warm!

    MMM - I have a little space heater that I turned on as it got dark.  It heats so well that I had to turn it off at one point in the night.  It was the first time in a month I didn't wear 3-4 layers of clothes to bed.

    Tee he heee so you've been researching the area then huh? well I  told you I had a good feeling about those boys... they helped you now thats freaking awesome they are going to so be good for you...  I'm betting on great listening skills, great going out "you look good" skills and the propper house mate skills of feeding you and letting you feed them when ocassion strikes! (wine)

     

    I am so freaking glad, so happy....

  • uniquely-ironic said on Jan 02, 2009....
    yeah, I've always thought men made better roommates than women.  In college my best housemates were always the guys.  Now that I am living with men who love men it takes all the pressure off of me.

    You can be yourself... in all your wonder and even your bitchy glory! they will still smile and laugh and not be offended....
     
    Think of the things you can teach them!! hmm actually think of the things they will teach you!!

    It's a beautiful two way street!  It's like having a token female there balances the karma of the house.  Neat!

    Good for you!  I agree, men are much easier to live with than woman.  They appreciate you more, where women...some woman, not all... feel threatened by another woman if she's strong and confident and doesn't feel the need to control everyone around them. 
    I've found that to be true in my life.  Sometimes you have to back them up right away, and sometimes you have to step away from the situation before they go too far.
    Then you just have to punch 'em in the face.
    Just kidding...lol.
