house hunting

heather and i did an exhaustive search of apartments in marpole today. like every apartment building in marpole was scrutinized for vacancy signs and heather wrote them down. we went from street to street to ave to ave and then we drove to the oak and 13th area and looked at all the apartments there. we're just dreaming about that area because it's too expensive for us. it would be really nice to live there though. one of the places we stopped at (just for my curiosity actually) was this mansion called the shannon on granville and 57th. there's this huge mansion and all around the outskirts off the grounds were these dark shady two level apartments. then there's beautiful gardens and a pool and everything. we walked around and a lady asked us "can i help you girls?" (we aint girls, we're in our thirties) and so i said we wanted to know about the apartment for rent. she told us about it in a way that revealed she didn't think we could afford it, and she was right, but still. it was 1595 for a two bedroom. heather and i stopped at dairy queen. i got a georgia mud fudge blizzard with skor in it thanks to mom. she got a pecan mud slide. shortly after this we began crashing. heather's writing became unintelligable and i was missing turns and so on. we left at 11:30 and got home around 2:30 i think. when we got home i put all of heather's scribbles onto a chart of one bedrooms and two bedrooms and area and balcony and no balcony and so forth and then began to phone them all (there was around 30 or something) most people weren't home, but i did manage to make two appointments for heather for tomorrow after church. she thought it was funny and called me her secretary. lisa calls me her personal assistant. that's who i am.

after all that i cleaned the living room and we all went to the mongoli grill for nikki's birthday dinner. i hadn't been in a long time and it was soooooooo good. i got lamb meat and made the house sauce both times. i only went up the second time because the first time was so dang good. nikki went to the bathroom and came back and told us that there was a sign that asked people not to flush the toilet paper down the toilet but to put it into the garbage instead!!! gross! you'd have to change that garbage very regularily if everyone obeyed that sign. i asked nikki if she obeyed but she didn't. she flushed. so they kicked us out because of it. no just kidding they never knew.

everyone came back here afterwards and we played hoopla and then we played jen wood's version of consequenses which she called he said-she said. it was sparser, but still funny. then they started talking all about tv shows and i was bored so i came in here and i've been typing ever since.
