Coming full circle

Our apartment is back on the leasing market (obviously, as we prepare to move home!!) so we're back in the thick of weird housing practices. Today they're holding one of the 15 minute cattle-call-open-houses in our place, so we spent last night packing up all of our small knicknacks and hiding them away. (When an apartment has no closet space, that becomes a very creative endeavor, let me tell you!) This property has a new leasing agent whom we've never met before, and we're contemplating showing up as prospective tenants. "Wow!" we'll say. "Look at the holes in the floor! You can see daylight!"

Out of curiosity I checked the agent's website to see how they're advertising this place. It's listed as a "cute one-bedder" (read, SMALL) for $20 more a week than we're paying now. Also, very frighteningly, there's pictures of OUR stuff posted online!!! They came to do an inspection a few weeks ago but didn't tell us they were taking pictures. Now there's postings of our stuffed sea turtle on the couch and our meat defrosting for dinner. But the best part? Our bathroom is so disgusting that they posted a FILE photo instead--one from clearly 10 years ago when it might have actually been sanitary. :-P

Mike's recital is on Monday--wish him luck!!!!!
