Time to move.
Wow. We're both so ready to get out of this place. It's been a nice "transition apartment": a rent of only $500 a month has meant we've got a little bit of a savings account that will at least get us into our new place hassle-free. I guess that's what it's been for ( Read more... ) -
A Dirty Hippie Summer Ahead
