Spring Break

Over the break I went to San Francisco! And I have to say what lovely spring weather they are having! It was nice to be in familiar territory again. My dad lives about 40 miles away in the East Bay so I got to visit with him and my family there. It was nice to get away and not worry about anything. I stayed at the Holiday Inn at Fisherman's Wharf. Which was a great location. There was at least 9 bars within walking distance.
The best part of my trip was St. Patty's day. It was the first day we arrived there and because of the festivities, the airport had 1/2 price shots! And my friend Mayra and I are in no position to turn down cheap drinks (considering the state of the economy) lol. So in the hour before our flight left we worked up the Irish in us so much so that was soon as we checked in we walked to the closest bar (it was a karaoke bar) and continued celebrating. It was a great night! Granted the next morning I have a severe headache but none the less it was well worth it :D But it did remind me why I don't drink on a regular basis but hey it was a vacation.


HOUSE UPDATE:
I have not yet moved in, but tonight after class the last of my bedroom furniture will be moved to the new house. So tonight will be my first night there in a way, that is if I don't decide to stay at my other house one last night. I purchased furniture at Ashley's Furniture, and I love it!! I was only disappointed because they have to make it so that means it's not getting delivered until April 15. Also they laid tile in my kitchen and bathroom yay!

The Joys of Life

Right now my biggest personal goal is to no procrastinate. Or at least procrastinate less. I really hate waiting until the very last minute to get things done. It feels so nice to know that things are done and I don't have to rush. So I just have to tell myself, "Liz, don't be lazy. Just do it!"

As far as my house, I put up blinds, in all the rooms except one that will have curtains. Let me just say jeez blinds are expensive, but they look so nice. My mom painted a bathroom... lets just say disaster. It looks horrible but the more I look at it the better it looks lol. I've also hired someone to patch some holes, replace the baseboards and prime and paint the master bedroom. It will be easier to work on the house when I'm actually living there.

I have a question if someone can help me:
Where do I need to go to get my mail box key?? I have utility bills coming in soon and I have no way of opening it. Thanks in advance!

I'm a HOMEOWNER!!!

So as of March 2, 2010 I own a house.

At first I was really excited, the process of buying is so draining. Then I realized it wasn't over. Now I get to fix the house up! Yay me. Its not a lot, just painting, laying tile in the kitchen and bathroom, installing new carpet and blinds, changing the doors, and patching up a few holes from previous nails. I'm also buying a new dryer as mine is electric and the new house needs a gas one, new stove, and some new furniture. I'm excited about the buying part not some much about it being my money I'm spending. We'll see how it turns out I'm in no hurry to move out of my current residence. I'll keep ya'll posted on my progress.
