Greetings from our new apartment!

Today our landlord replaced our lock, we got our cable and Internet hooked up, and I went grocery shopping with my foodstamp money and bought us a lot of food, including goat cheese and Kroger-brand pickles! And I bought Sara some tequila and lime salsa and David-brand sunflower seeds, which I guess are her version of goat cheese and pickes. I jokingly told Sara that now we probably won't leave our apartment for days. Actually I'll probably leave soon to go bike-riding. Our neighborhood is the kind that just begs you to go bike-riding through it.

We haven't thought of a name for our new apartment yet (the last two were "Tarpartment," in honor of the tar dripping down the walls and "Slobpartment," after the slobby roommates). Judging strictly from what is inside the apartment, this one isn't quite as nice as Tarpartment; it's older and doesn't have a dishwasher or central air-conditioning. But in every other aspect, this one is way better than Tarpartment. The complex is smaller, the neighborhood is infinitely nicer, we actually have landlords instead of slumlords, and so far there have been no black people blaring loud rap music at all hours or Mexican families living ten people to one apartment.

glad to hear the internet and cable hooked up.

Aren't food stamps the greatest thing in the world! I wish I could have them all the time. It is so nice to go to the grocery and not have to count every penny in your basket and they don't even charge you tax on what you buy.

This is so exciting...a new apartment always is the opportunity for a new start, new decorations, new friends. May you experience the finest of first days in your new space!
