well, i got my way, but at a pretty hefty price. we are moving out of this apartment on august 28 and into a townhome in palatine. anybody who volunteers to help us move will be rewarded handsomely. the weak need not apply.

anyone? anyone?

i will miss this crazy apartment and its multicolored walls. i will not miss the buffalo herd living above us. i may have a few choice parting words for them on the day we leave. unless, of course, i can convince them to help us load the truck.

le sigh. so much drama. my sister came over last night, and she aided in making me feel less spastic and stressed out. what a girl. only she could calmly insert the made-up word "shinkle" into a sentence and make it sound like, no, there is no other word that would fit quite as well. shinkle. you try using it in a sentence. it's actually fun.
