SK once said before that she could see herself being swept into a torrent romance, and running away to elope in Vegas. And though there were no wedding bells today, I definitely saw that reckless, irrational side of her (both of us!) today.
We saw an apartment that we loooved today. Granted, even though we've had an indecently un-thorough apartment hunt, this place was gorgeous, and we were convinced that we weren't going to find anything better. (Un-nasty apartments in Hyde Park is hard to come by!) Thus, a mere fifteen minutes after the showing, and still lacking two roommates to fill this four-bedroom beauty, we slapped down an application and more than a hundred dollars.
I find myself being so excited about living on my own. For me, it's novel. Though the responsibility will probably become a burden later, I revel in the idea of having control over my life (or at least my living situation) next year.
I also look forward to spreading out rugs over the expansive hardwood floors, sipping gin and tonics on the front deck on an early summer evening, entertaining friends in my cozy abode... *sigh*
Oh, won't you join me?
