Good morning.

Mica, we really wanted to live on the top floor somewhere, but we just couldn't find anything. Finding a reasonable apartment here is practically impossible, so I took what I could get. And I love my apartment, just not the loud people upstairs.

Sometimes I hated living in a third floor apartment, but this just reminded me of why it was great. We had no upstairs neighbors. Although I wonder if the people below us hated us because of our dogs. I didn't feel like we made a lot of noise, but it might have been louder below us KWIM.

I know, Anna.  My last two apartments were in big complexes, so I had a floor choice.  Before that, I was usually in small apartment buildings, so I had to suck it up and deal with having upstairs neighbors if I liked the location enough.

I hope from now on to be in houses only to avoid the upstairs/downstairs issue.  Of course, there are still next door neighbor issues!

[QUOTE]BJ, I go to CCSU.  I didn't go there for undergrad (I went to Salve Regina in Rhode Island), but I started the MA program in 2007, went to school until winter semester 2008, and then took a LOA for medical reasons.  First day was great.  I love my teacher for my first class, he reminds me of my favorite professor from my undergrad days, and I'm really looking forward to that class.  Tonight is my only other class, and it's with my adviser (whom I also love), so I'm hoping this is going to be a great semester.

It definitely sounds like it's going to work out great - good for you!  What are you getting your MA in?

SPARRRRRRR!!!!!  Good morning love :)

The last apartment that H and I lived in, our downstairs neighbors were always complaining about our "stomping".  Even when we tried to be really quiet.  One time the girl said "You stomp a lot at 1 AM", which I found weird because H and I go to bed by midnight.  Then one night, our huge 18 lb. cat leaped to the floor from the counter, and they started banging on their ceiling.  Turns out it was the fatty fat cat that was doing the "stomping".

They didn't believe us until they saw our cat.  Once they realized that, wow, he's practically a sumo, they left us alone.

Your cat is bigger than my dachshund!  H weighed him the other day and I think he's 17 pounds.  That reminds me, I need to remind H to build him a ramp. 

sparent2010

Haha Mica they make a pill you know maybe he was just getting his second wind. Throw things at my ceiling when my neighbors annoy me.

sparent2010

BJS we keep missing each other lol

Rachers I have not seen you much this week, but my posting is sporadic.

Adamar, my cat is bigger than many dogs.

It's H's fault.  He'd never had a cat before and when he got Ollie from the shelter, he really did believe that cats needed 3 cans of wet food a day.  I put a stop to that as soon as we moved in together.  He's lost a LITTLE bit of weight, but not much.

mica178

Sparent, if that upstairs neighbor really lasted 4-6 hours nightly with such perfect rhythm, then I retract all complaints and take off my hat to him.

Good morning!  I'm running late for work AND have playwrights emailing me out the wazooooooo over a project at the theatre so, i haven't read this morning. 

But HI!

and bye!

midgetthemighty

Oh man Bay. My cat is big and he weighs 14 pounds. I hope that doesn't cause the same issues once we move in with FI. Funny enough, he was a little runt when we found him.

sleblanc72

Bay that reminds me of one of my sisters cats, I think he weighed about 20 lbs at one point but was the most cuddly cat so you had to prepare for impact when he came to jump on you.

Just checked my school email (that I haven't used in three years), and class IS canceled for tonight.  Well, at least that means I won't be having dinner at quarter of 8 PM.  And I get to see H.  Sweet.

Morning all!

Adamar, ditto Habs and MK you need to go to a specialty store. DO NOT BE CHEAP which is saying something coming from me.  If they recommend $100 sneakers, take them.  It's worth not having nagging injuries plus I'm guessing you aren't running 100 mile weeks so they should last 3-6 months at least

MK good luck, everything will work out just remain positive and assertive!

Bay, Salve is a beautiful school, how was it, living there?

We still rent, but it's a section of a house and I love it.  We live near an elementary school so sometimes I turn into a cranky old lazy when kids skateboard and scream down the road but other than that it's quiet and awesome!

adamar15

Meg, I'm lucky if I get in 15 miles per week  

Yay for a free night, Bay! 

Bleh I have a training class on our new fax system at 10.  I know, you're all jealous.

mica178

I'm going to AW for a second.  My realtor just called.  The bank accepted our offer.  We're heading into escrow, I think I'm going to be a homeownere soon!!

musicalsunlight

That is awesome news Mica, congrats!

It is 9 below without windchill factored in... Tory was not a happy dog when she had to go to the bathroom in that this morning.

adamar15

YAY MICA!!  That's awesome!

FutureMrsFezz

dumdumfroggie

[QUOTE]Can anyone give me some advice about first looks? I really want to do one but FI is super on the fence.
Posted by rachers1017[/QUOTE]


I was weird about it too but I had no choice given our timeline ( we had to take pictures before the ceremony since it was a friday evening) . I actually loved it. J still had a really cute reaction and it was more intimate than if we were at the altar since we got to talk a little bit.

annakb8

I didn't do one Rach, and I'm happy about it I guess. Just for practical reasons mainly. Our wedding was at one so we still had plenty of daylight after the ceremony for pictures, plus we would have had to get there earlier. We didn't have access to the venue until two hours ahead of time and that was cutting it close. Also, my H forgot the shirt he was supposed to wear so he ended up going shopping the day of. If we had scheduled a first look we probably would have missed it anyway.

FutureMrsFezz

I wish we would have done the first look, only for the fact that I would have had more pictures of just J and I.

Snippylynn

Congrats Mica!!  

I've been in meetings for the past hour or 2? Geez, I can't even remember, so HI EVERYONE.

We did a first look and it was so much fun to be just the two of us, photographer in the background... H was able to say things that he wouldn't have in front of others. Plus, we got some really amazing photos.
