Homeless No More!!!

It feels like I have been looking for months years for a new place to call home.  The lease is up on February 5th and as of this morning, I still didn't have a place to go.  Early this afternoon, I received a reply about a downtown loft I found on Craigslist.  I've been playing e-mail/telephone tag with a bazillion people looking for a great apartment in the city.  I've also been scooped on a few places, so I tend to fly into action quickly now to keep me from having to tape some boxes together and sleep on Broadway and Colfax!  I gave Christa a call and hightailed it downtown.  The loft is amazing!  There is so much space and I felt at ease in the building.  I've wanted to live in downtown Denver since I arrived about three years ago.  I always told myself that it would be too expensive and any ad I had seen with a downtown address didn't disprove my theory...until today!

I filled out the catalog-length application, paid $40 to process that bad boy and left another "triple-H" for a deposit.  I have 48 business hours to change my mind and get that scratch back.  I've also made plans to see two more places I had contacted before I semi-committed to this one.  One appointment Sunday morning after work, one Sunday night.  I'll let you know how it turns out.  One way or another, I'll have a brand new address in two short weeks!!!
