I suppose I will start with the good news first!
- I am now a member of the downtown 24 Hour Fitness! DBF and I went for a tour last night and it seems like they have lots of cardio, decent class options, and a four lane pool that wasn't too crowded even at peak hours! Plus, it's only $29 a month which is pretty good as far as gym memberships downtown with a pool go! We are planning on going for our first workout there after work tomorrow, which for me will probably be swimming and/or yoga and/or spinning!
- Even bigger news - I have a new apartment! There was one that I'd had my eye on for a while but I wasn't sure if they'd have anything available or have any specials going on when I am ready to move out (Feb. 1), but they have a one bedroom available then and it's a pretty good deal - $695 a month + $75 for parking, but free utilities for the whole lease and half off the first three month's rent. It is pretty big, too, and it's a cute apartment. It's on the second floor in a secure building on 3rd and Mercer, so lower Queen Anne/Belltown-ish. I filled out the application and passed the credit check and turned in my deposit check today! Now I just have to find a couch at some point so I won't be living in a totally empty apartment come February... haha! It'll be nice to just be so much closer to everything (except my mom - but I will still be close enough to visit!).
- Now for a slightly annoying update (to me and probably to you who are tired of hearing about it) - the present that I ordered online for best friend still hasn't been shipped yet and I ordered it 3 weeks ago today. *sigh* I am thinking I will just have to suck it up and get him something else as a late Christmas present (speaking of which, I haven't actually gotten DBF's presents yet, although I know what I am getting him!)... it just makes me mad. The first time I e-mailed them she wrote back (last week) and said they were shipping it that week, and when I e-mailed them this week there was no response.
- And now for a sad update... send thoughts and prayers to my friend Tricia - she went into labor and gave birth at 27 weeks and the baby was born with complications and passed away two days after her birth. :( It is a very sad situation so please send Tricia and her family and baby Rachel your love!
Ok, now I am off to grab Mom's birthday present (sheesh, I keep getting behind on the whole presents deal) and then to dinner with them, and then to the gym!
