After a fabulous, if not exhausting, weekend and a work-week that is trying my patience and sanity (but in a "good" way), I am looking forward to a great weekend in western MA. I'm thrilled to hang out with *A* after months of an internet friendship ;) , and it'll be great to hang out with kj as well! But that isn't the only reason that I'm looking forward to being out of my house this weekend.
My landlord/roommate (the one with the grill from last week) has had our stove removed...but hasn't replaced it. I'm a little annoyed and AWP suggested this weekend that I take food $$ off my next rent payment since I've had to eat out. LC (the landlord/roommate) has been just fine to live with and around for the last 10 months. More and more, though, she is living up to those blonde locks of hers. She's just superficial and ditzy and irritating more and more.
Our other roommate CB, who is 21 and a lot of fun, is moving out. She is still in undergrad and is itching to travel and see more of the world. She is going to live with her aunt in CO this summer and will return to MA in the fall, but hopes to study abroad in the next year/year and a half. Anyway, her plan was to move out on May 15. She decided to ask LC if she could just pay 1/2 rent for the month of May (we're talking a difference of $300 here). After thinking about it overnight, LC said that, due to the fact that she'd just bought another property (to fix up and rent), she had really been counting on CB's May rent. But...if it was going to ruin their friendship, create hard feelings or REALLY be financially difficult for CB, then she could take the 1/2 rent.
Either you need the $$ or you don't. And you haven't replaced our stove yet! And it's not our fault that you just over extended yourself by buying another property. So, CB informed me last night that she'll be moving out this weekend. Thereby screwing LC out of the whole month of May's rent. While I agree with CB, I really don't feel like being around. She's going to try to pack up and move out Saturday while LC is at work.
So yeah, sleeping in Noho sounds like a much better plan.

Hooray for a Noho escape!! We had something similar happen when we were "living in sin" way back when. The range on our stove didn't work. The oven did ... we ate at Eli's parents a lot, which was hard because we were trying to be independant young lovers. So our landlord told us to leave out some of our rent one month due to the inconvenience. Then he managed to haul a stove up to the top of the steps but not INTO our apartment. So I left the money out again the next month and he got all jumpy/irratated and said it was a one-month kind of thing ... yeah, great ... but still no stove, bucko. We never did get that stove in -- we moved and when we did he apologized. ugh. Pack those bags, honey, you're gettin' out for a bit! :)
