moving

My boyfriend has bought us a place to live!! It was finalized today. He's on the phone with the bank people right now working out the financing details.
It's right across the street from where I work. A condo apartment on the 2nd floor with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living/dining room, kitchen w/ laundry, and solarium/sun room. The building has a pool, tennis courts, saunas, exercise room. etc. It's probably about 10 years old.
The deed is in his name of course but I will pay too. I'm excited... We move in on April 11th!! We already have paint colours picked out.
Our bedroom is going to be monochromatic shades of bluey-purple (Behr 4F2 "Sweet Surprise" and 4F3 "Blueberry Kiss"), conducive for sleeping. It has a window on one wall and the bathroom and walk-in closet are on the opposite wall.
The living room, which has parquet floors, is going to remain the creamy colour that it is right now except in the corner (it's an L-shaped room) we're going to a feature wall in red (Behr 30A3 "Gardening"). We plan to have a black leather couch and silver wide screen tv, speakers, and shelving. I'm hoping to get a couple of potted plants and trees.
I haven't decided what to do with the sun room yet I need to have a space where I can do my makeup in natural lighting so I may set it up in there. At least it will be out of the way.
Since we have two bathrooms, we have two different themes all ready to go. The guest bathroom which has a shower stall is going to be the periwinkle bathroom with all the same colour of accessories. Our ensuite bathroom will be turquoise and bright yellow with the accessories that are clear with ducking swimming inside. (I'm not sure if you've ever seen them but they're SO cute!)
The kitchen is teeny but clean. The person we bought it from kept things really well and he had recently upgraded all the appliances. There is a stacking washer dryer just off the kitchen. The counter tops are a mottled red brick colour. We're eventually going to replace the kitchen cabinets because they're a little small but it will do until we can same up more money to do it properly. He wants custom made cabinets in a wood finish from Ikea but I want to build them from MDF myself and paint them to match. Yup, we'll see!
We're going to use the second room as an office/den. We need a place for the computer and he wants a display area for all his sports collectibles. We won't be painting it just yet. We need to buy a desk for the computer with a good chair too. It'll be expensive. All our cds, movies, dvds, etc, we'll be in there also so much of the wall will be bookshelf and other storage.
When we get in there, I'll take some pictures so you can see it.
I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy!!!!!!!! FINALLY!

blah blah blah

It’s my day off today and Jay’s too. We woke up about 12:30. He made us some noodles and spaghetti sauce to eat. I just watched tv upstairs in his room for awhile. Then, all of a sudden, I got really emotional and started crying and telling him I couldn’t live in my apartment anymore and how much I hated being there. It was weird. I’m really weepy today. I missed my pill last night but it shouldn’t affect me that much. Maybe it’s PMS. I’m so out of whack with my other pills that I have no idea what my schedule is anymore. Poor Jay. I don’t think he knows what to do with me! He hates it when I cry. My emotions really affect him. What a great person for him to end up with….  the most emotional person I know!!
I’m working on the laptop that Mark lent to Jay right now, downstairs, watching HGTV, while Jay is upstairs playing PS2. “Hi Baby!” He says, “Love you.” I said, “Love you too!”
I’m watching One House Two Looks right now but I’ve already seen this episode twice so I’m going to find something else.
Maybe there will be something good on the movies channels. Let’s see….
Nope! Counter Measures, Too Smooth, and The Ladies Man. No thanks.
What else is on? Simpsons…. Gabbo. No. Cheers…. Ah, Coach is so cute!! But, no. Birth Stories…. Nah.
Crap, there’s nothing on.
I’ll just keep writing about my crappy life then. Just kidding. It’s not crappy. I have a wonderful boyfriend who loves me, an alright job that pays me pretty well, a cheap place to live, a family, some friends….
It could be worse.
Shelley Long wouldn’t have been so weird looking if she didn’t have that crazy haircut. Cheers was a great show but it was so cheesy! That’s the 80’s. Friends is way better. I am going to be very distraught when it’s done. I’m so wrapped up in that show that they feel like my friends. It sounds pathetic and I guess it is but in the times when I’ve been sad or had nothing to do, all I had to do to make myself feel better is pop Friends in the vcr and I’d immediately feel better. I’m so glad that they started putting them on dvd. I have the first two seasons already. I hope they do put all the seasons on.
Oooh. Look Who’s Talking is on. I remember the first time I ever saw this movie. My family was staying with another family that I didn’t know. They’re daughter was getting married or something. I remember asking my mom what the sperm and egg were. She told me she’d tell me when I was older. I haven’t seen this movie for ever! It’s great. Who does the voice of Mikey?

I want a baby. But after it’s 2, can I give it back? I sometimes don’t want kids. It’s going to be so hard! I’m afraid of everything. I’m afraid of life. I don’t know. I’ve got a few more years at least to think about it.
