I'm counting down the Mondays until I no longer have to pay for laundry... Including today there are 3. That's not to say that I will immediately be doing laundry there full time but I will do the less essential stuff there and do the more essential stuff as we move in.
In continued good news, I got a raise at work! I trained a part-time employee who works under me and have become more of a manager. I love my job and it's great that my boss puts her faith in me and appreciates my efforts.
I turned 29 last month. It's not too different from 28 to be honest and, so far, I haven't felt any kind of panic about the fact that I'll be 30 next year. Branden's 31st birthday is Wednesday so we're both getting older. :P He took today off so he could have a three-day weekend before the big day.
We are down to one laptop. Mine has been more of a tabletop- unable to be moved without it shutting down- for a few months and a little over a week ago it decided to stop turning on altogether. Because of this I'll be even more unlikely to post in the next couple of months. Branden is waiting for me to finish typing and it's incredibly hard to concentrate with that knowledge so I'll go for now. If you made it though all my rambling, thanks for reading and I'll post more when I can.

Super Fast Post
Sorry it's been a while since I've posted. I don't tend to post when I'm feeling down because I figure that nobody really wants to read my whining. Recently I've been feeling REALLY down about myself but today I have some good news so I'm going to share!
Our lease is up June 30 and we HATE our apartment so we've been looking to move. Today we found out that we have been approved for the apartment we want! It's not actually any closer to our workplaces but there a long list of good things that come with it, namely:
A) It's a nicer complex with a decent parking lot, cleaner areas and well-maintained buildings.
B) Branden's friend lives there so we have a first-hand account of how the management company, well, manages things. Also, because Branden's friend lives there we actually have a neighbor to whom we will be neighborly... Have I ever mentioned that we're not really neighborly?
C) Not only are there washers and dryers in all units, the ones in our apartment are brand-spanking-NEW! Oh, yes, front load, high efficiency, stackable Whirlpool washer and dryer that will likely ruin me for every other washer and dryer for years to come and they will be ours to use for as long as we choose to stay!
D) As if that wasn't enough, the apartment also has a LARGE kitchen with a full-sized stove. And the kitchen is open to the living room so I can still be part of the living-action while cooking.
E) Oh, yes, there's more! TWO bathrooms and a balcony!
F) Before I go any leave out the grain of sugar that tipped the scale completely, our first month's rent is free so we can sign the lease June 1st and have an entire month to move and clean this craptastic apartment without paying any extra.
HUZZAH, HUZZAH!! New apartment here we come!
