That apartment hunt would probably kill me.

Every time I look at the ceiling in our apartment it bugs me! I love how polished a smooth ceiling looks. At this point, I'm willing to give on everything except the ceiling and the floors (which might mean my priorities are out of whack, but oh well!).

I totally understand why you want a washer and dryer in unit, but what is wrong with a pop corn ceiling? Honestly, I do not care about the ceiling as long it is clean and neat. My only requirements would be: good kitchen (no old kitchen!), excellent schools, no crime, W/D in unit, and garage parking. A house is usually the only option that meets all my requirements. You get what you pat for.<br /><br />SandraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-61036584669453202542013-11-19T07:34:01.451-08:002013-11-19T07:34:01.451-08:00I am always so happy when I read your new posts.

I agree, LA's apartment hunting is easily one of the most frustrating thing ever. I will be back in 15 months and hopefully can afford more :) skygurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00160629325764182102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-68413839698742898052013-11-18T12:47:06.135-08:002013-11-18T12:47:06.135-08:00Ha!

My parents are just having a hard time managing with the three dogs, given that Circe and Mick can't be in the same room without starting a fight.

Luckily, we have been wearing them around the house piecemeal ever since Halloween, so I'm sure I'll capture them soon. <br /><br />Yes to veg marshmallows! What do you sub for gelatin? Agar? I've been curious about that.

I ended up in K-town with hardwood floors and a pool. <br /><br />I'm pretty sure that I'll eventually move back to Orange County and just vanpool out here. Nice apartments are so much cheaper down there.
