Home Crap Home

by Slack, on November 11th, 2008

Here we are, back to apartment living. Friday, our world kicked into high gear and we got our house rented out, moved 90% of our crap into storage, and moved 10% of our crap into a new apartment. To sum it up, it’s worse than I thought it would be, but not so bad that I’m miserable. :)

We’re not going to try and make this place a home. It’s just a storage room. We’re here for a month to a month and a half and then it’s off to the new house!

So, when did apartments start doing things based on supply and demand? I mean, I don’t blame them, but it’s just kind of funny that a one bedroom was $1900/month, and a two bedroom was $1000/month!? LOL I asked, “Well, crap, how much are your three bedrooms, then?!”

So, today, we got our internet and cable tv back. God it feels good to be back. We got nice cable and nice internet this time, too. ;) Tomorrow I get to test if all my remote configurations still work.

Last thing left before we put ourselves in deep freeze for the trip to the new house is to turn over the old house to the renters. Should be doing that next day or two.

Back in Show Low

by Slack, on June 20th, 2008

Show Low Golf CourseSo, Heidi and I decided to get some R&R up in Show Low. It’s been way too long since we’ve been back up here. We’ve vowed to try and get up here every other month or so at least. It’s cheap, it’s beautiful, and it’s not where we live now. ;)

We’re staying at some Mom and Pop roadside motel here, and I must confess I was a bit worried it would be your typical roadside Mom and Pop motel. I haven’t had the best experiences at these places, but I suppose that should be expected down in Studio City.. I suppose… !? Maybe I just made poor choices. Hey, Stu, remember that damn joint in Studio City when we went to LA!? OMG!

Anyway, so we got here and must say we were very surprised with the quality of this place for the price! Very nice room. Very clean. Very cheap. ;) I have WiFi and a desk, so I’m happy. :) Heidi has cable, a bed, and a remote control, she’s happy. Rhys has his own bed that he can jump on, and nobody is yelling at him for putting toys in the refridgerator so he’s happy. LOL

Life is good. Now, to kick it into high gear to get moved out here. :-D We tried once, and that plan was quickly derailed. Let’s see how Move to Show Low v2.0 goes. ;)
