Living on a whim...

A week and a half ago, I started pondering Philadelphia.

Today, I moved here!

It seems like ever since I decided I wanted to move, no place, job, idea caught my attention long enough for me to actually begin pursuing it...and if it did, the pursuit usually ended in failure. So, as I started considering Philly, I casually browsed Craigslist one night only to find the most perfectly located and perfectly priced apartment for rent. I jumped on it, and found out yesterday that I got it...and today I signed the lease and moved in!

I'm still a little shell-shocked at how fast this all happened, but it all played out so easily and perfectly that surely it's meant to be.

My tiny one-bedroom apartment is perfect for me and Loulou (who will be joining me Sunday) and the sorry amount of stuff that I own. The kitchen is pretty bare, but the rest of the place is actually looking quite nice now that I've got some furniture in it.

Behold...some photos...

From my door...


Furniture filling it up!


The kitchen, once I had it all clean and organized...


I am those front two windows on each corner above the barbershop...


Cozy little bedroom...

Wow, I love that desk! (Thanks for the link.) If it were cheaper, it would solve our problems. ^_^

Maybe at some point we will trade places again. I'm still slightly sad to miss out on the New England culture and inspirational old-ness.
