A lot from a little

All I want is a cool breeze!!

California is bloody hot right now. Our apartment lacks the needed cool air and so we are dripping in sweat. I can't wait to move on Sunday. Central air--here we come!
Speaking of our new apartment, we actually got to see it today. It looks much smaller without the model furniture, but it still looks great. It will be a bit tight in the bathroom as we have to fit Schmaty's litter box in there, but we'll make it work.

Here are some things I won't miss about Heritage Point (that's the apartment we are living in now):

1. Car alarms sounding off at 3am (and then 4am and then 5am, etc...)
2. Loud neighbors (just break up already! hehe)
3. Kids running around after 9pm (shouldn't little kids be going to bed at 7 or 8pm?)
4. No washer and dryer in unit (such a big one for us!)
5. 70s decor (thank god for new buildings)
6. Pathetic little air conditioner in corner of the room (is that seriously suppose to cool the whole apartment?)
7. The sound of the train at 5am. Eek!
8. Did I mention loud neighbors?
9. Thin windows and walls (my god people! we can hear everything!)
10. Horrible, horrible drivers! (oh wait, that's everyone in CA...hehe)

    How about no parking for visitors, the blind exit/entrance and walking upstairs (you guys will be right by the elevator, right?)?

    Our first apartment was a '70s four-plex that had a crappy wall unit air conditioner, too. It was a joke. Oh, and we ended up having a wasp problem INSIDE the unit. One almost stung Caley when she was like 1 year old. Fortunately, Cherie got there in time and the wasp stung her instead.

    Bad apartments suck!

    Also, don't forget idiots who blare hiphop music on their ghetto blasters (who even owns those anymore???) while working out in the already too-crowded gym; a screen door that got fixed five days before we moved out, a idiotic management staff that decides it's a good time to empty and renovate the pool right before a heat wave (where were you in the winter, idiots???).

    Oh and Larry, this is Orange County- isn't it full of wasps? Just kidding, of course. Sorry to hear Cherie was stung, though I'm sure she's over it now.

    Bad apartments do suck. Now we're moving on.

    Actually Caley was about 3 or 4 months old when she thankfully didn't get stung.
    Bad apartments really DO suck!
    Yay for good working a.c
    yay for plenty of parking
    yay for nice, clean pools
    yay for new appartments : )

    I completely forgot about the no parking. Oops. Hopefully, our new place will have lots of spaces open! And we are going to be right by the elevator (though not too close). I can't wait!!
    We must have you over for a BBQ and pool.

    I really hope that penultimate comment doesn't mean what I think it might mean!
