Things and stuff

So...there's still not a whole lot going on in my life. There are some personal things going on in my life that are a little saddening to me, but I choose not to publish them on my public blog. Call me old fashioned. Meh.

Whil and I are looking for a new place to live. We're month to month right now and our lease is officially up in May so really, we could stay till then...but it's a moral issue. See, we live at The Bridge Project which is income based housing. When we moved in, we may have omitted some important information...like ooooh, the fact that I would be living there too. Whil was making EXACTLY the max that he could make per year to be allowed to live there and I was making more than is allowed. So I couldn't live there on my own, much less with Whil. At the time, we really needed the break in rent, so I justified it. Just because the government doesn't think I need help doesn't mean I don't. But now, we're doing much better and I'm sure there are people who are in our position, so we feel like it's time to open it up for someone else.

We've been looking around and haven't really seen anything too promising. It's hard when you're paying so little for a 2 bedroom...you just feel like everything else out there is over priced! So we've just been keeping an eye out. Well...the other day, I found our dream house. The price is right and the house, well the house is just plain awesome. It was built in 1970 and totally looks like it. The layout is just plain ridiculous. it's a 1 bedroom plus office with 1 bathroom...but it's all spread out over 3 floors. Hilarious. The flooring is even funnier to me. Some places have this awesome red tile, others are hard wood...then there's random beige carpet. The kitchen counters are like a sea foam green with a yellow and black back splash. Like, seriously, this house screams Jonda and Whil. Some people may like the cookie cutter polished home look...we don't. We like personality and something unique. And man alive, this is IT.

Here's the only thing...they say no pets. So we're going to talk to them and explain BoDee's special situation. See, he's a dog yes, so that makes him a pet. BUT he comes to work with me every day. So really, he's never there if I'm not. What could he really do? AND we're willing to pay them $200 more than they're asking for the deposit and not ask for any of it back even if we leave the house in perfect condition. This means they would be making $1000 just to let us have a dog there. Beyond that, we're willing to sign a 2 year lease. I mean, COME ON! So I've decided this is our house. I've been sending all sorts of positive vibes out to the universe to let it know that's what I want, so it better deliver.

I'd post pics or a link or something, but until they tell me we have the house, I don't want anyone else to know about it! It's my hidden gem...and YOU can't have it!

That's it for now. OH! I have my yearly review at work today. There's a chance I could be getting a raise...think happy thoughts! Now that's really it. Love and kisses and some slobber from BoDee too.
