I got my first look at my new place yesterday. The inside was ok; not really better than what I have now, except it’s bigger. I like that. And I should get plenty of exercise going up and down those stairs.

What sold me was the outdoors. There’s a great view of the Puget Sound. The water’s so close, I’m going to see if I can throw a rock in it. I bet I can. Nearby is a tree (or trees) with multiple little trunks that reach up toward the sky like the fingers of an uplifted hand. I sat in the "palm" of the tree’s "hand" for inspiration (I love, I mean LOVE trees) and watched the sun set over the Olympics. Wow. Trees, water, and mountains–my three favorite parts of nature–all together at the tip of my fingers. I’m in love. (And I just bought a white rose bush to decorate the place!! *sigh* It’s so pretty.)

There are other perks as well. Just down the street is the YMCA, the library, and a place to get my nails done! Best of all, my Girlz are only two miles away!! And C4 is moving back with them!!! I’m so excited.

Oh, hehe. I’m so excited about the move I nearly forgot the movie! C4 and I went to see Pirates 3 last night. I’ve been hearing that it was "too long", but some of my favorite movies are long ones, so that doesn’t matter. I loved it! Two thumbs up! The special effects were spectacular. The script was hilarious. Keira Knightly (and her wardrobe) was awesome. Orando Bloom was way sexier than Johnny Depp (although maybe I just think that because he got the girl).

So, yeah, life is good. I spent all week cleaning out apartments in the summer heat, but it wasn’t so bad. I had Dr. Pepper, ice cream, and key lime pie. *yummy*

I’m still trying to get into the groove of the weekend part of my new job: the office stuff and working with my mother. I’m going to be perfectly honest and say I don’t like it. I don’t know what she was thinking, unless it’s her way of keeping an eye on me (she’s extremely protective). Seriously, though, we do not get along. We’re both too hot-headed, willful, stubborn, and territorial. (If I’m working on something, leave it the dickens alone unless I ask for help–which I’m not likely to do. It’s one of my weaknesses.)

So, we’ll see how it works out. Imah wants me to stay at this job for at least a year (so don’t freak out about my moving away to another state, my dear friends). Hey, at least I’m meeting a lot of cute guys. LOL!
