Playing House

Samuel and I are mostly moved in. Our apartment is really cool with lots of storage, including a large pantry. The stove is gas, which is very nice. The bathroom is entirely covered with good-quality tile (except the ceiling) which makes it easier to keep clean. There is a little patio thing where we keep Samuel’s bike and the wind chimes. The uncool things about it are: 1) the small living room; 2) the cinder block walls, on which we are allowed to have four nail holes per room, which has caused us to experiment with three different kinds of sticky picture-hanging devices, two of which caused several picture frames and one mirror to come crashing down multiple times (the mirror only once, at about 2:00 a.m.: it broke into three pieces upon making contact with the dresser); 3) the doors that are too fat to fit my over-the-door hook thingy that I use to hang up all my scarves, shawls and ribbons; 4) the extremely inconvenient location of the internet and phone jack which caused us to spend upwards of $30 for a 25-foot cable, a rug, and a roll of masking tape.Other than that, I love our apartment!
