My nemesis..

I can't think of anything worse than to be stuck in a room with cottage cheese. I used to have a lady at my old work who would get a huge helping of this, pour ranch in, and dip Doritos in it. She would then try to sit next to me and talk while eating it. All the while I was scooting in the other direction.

The taste, the smell, the consistency, even the packaging= the seventh circle of Hell.

..back to your regularly scheduled program..

Sorry, I'm back after a brief disappearing act. The last couple of days consisted of me hovering over KSL and Craigslist. Calling people three minutes after they posted their apartment and either scheduling an appointment or finding out someone hovered better and the apartment was rented. Followed by nights of us scavenging through crap holes, skeezy landlords, weirdo neighbors, and dingy smells.

We sifted through it all and narrowed it down to three lovely places. One that I fell in love with, one that Bob was elated about, and one that we both like. We felt it was important in this economy to save money. So we down sized a bit from where we are now. The place is really cute and in the avenues. It's smaller, but we will be saving money, so eventually we can buy a house.

If we decide to sign the lease we will move in November 1st and I will post pictures. Finally I can ease up a bit, I think we found a place to live.

Big favor!

This weekend we found out some sad/maddening/ridiculous news. Our lovely little downtown apartment is getting sold, hence the rent is being jacked up in price to make it sell, (so the buyers think there is a lot of profit to make). Our apartment is old..charming..but old, and is not worth what they want to price it as, so we have made the decision to move. I have been emotional all weekend, I love my apartment!

Anyway, we need a favor, if anyone has any good leads for us we would be incredibly grateful. We are trying to stay downtown, but are open to suggestions. If anyone (even those who shy away from commenting) know of any good apartments. We would be so thankful. Heck, I would even bake you a cake if you could help us find something. We have to be out of our apartment November 1st. Yes, that's right, right before the holidays. Any leads would help out so much. Thank you!

me time

since the hub had to stay late at school last night, i decided to curl up in bed, watch a great chick flick, and devour a cafe rio pork burrito. sometimes i just need time alone.. okay, tom and meg were there, but they don't mind me being in my pj's.

Italian pizza in SLC

We finally tried Settebello last night. So tasty, and so authentic. If you haven't tried it you should definitely go. It's a little pricey, so we lucked out since they are participating in the Dine-a-Round. We enjoyed salad, margherita pizza, and gelato for $15.00 If you haven't tried it, now is a good time to go. YUM!

Spooky Treats

I made these a couple years back on Halloween. They were a major hit. They are peanut butter too so you can't go wrong there. I will post the recipe when I make them. But I think I will try my hand at these witches and ghosts too. I am getting so excited for Halloween!
