apartment!

[rm]

Megan and I have just applied for an exsquite apartment on 106th between 1st and 2nd. Two utterly seperate bedrooms, all newly rennovated, great light, lovely kitchen and bath, etc. It will save us both hundreds of dollars a month in rent and vastly increase the quality of our lives. I see not just the end of many debts, but the promise of travel and adventure.

So this is the part where I request, beg, cajole and hope you all will think good thoughts, pray, or whatever it is you do, that we will get approved (possibly, it seems, as soon as tomorrow).

I knew we'd find it today when i turned eat on 106th and saw the bridge over the river there. It has the same basic structure as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and in my magical world, that's a sign, and so it is.

He's not miffed he has to send checks, but seems disgruntled he has to fill out forms. "Can't I just sign something and be done with it? This is stupid. Landlords are stupid." Oh, my Dad.

will send you all my best thoughts, hopes, etc. good luck!

Lol. I take it, howeve, he is obliging us? I'll have to do something nice for your parents, which I think either means baking for them or making myself wear a Red Socks hat during the move.

Thank you!

*crosses fingers, lights candles, does rain dance, hops on one foot, prays to all the gods she knows, kisses a pig*

There, that should do it.

[ladypeculiar.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha! If you would wear a Red Sox had during the move as a life-long New Yorker I think they would really appreciate that. If we could find a way for there to be moving-cookies avaliable too, all the more awesome.

Yes, he is. But he's grumpy about it. Not so much about the money as he is about having to send people stuff.

Many many many good thoughts.

How is it now that the upper east side is cheaper than Alphabet City?

[splix.livejournal.com]

Wow. Best thoughts to both of you.

[rm.livejournal.com]

I'm happy to do both. You can even tell him.

[ladypeculiar.livejournal.com]

Btw, landlord got the other check, it was a stupid thing between the office and them again. So not our fault, and they're fine again.

Jackasses.

It is -- well it's uptown, not cross town, which means it's still easy to get to all my favourite restaurants.

Wheee!!!! Thankee!! *pig dance*

Fingers crossed and beams headed your way from my kitties and me. Tikvah seems pretty confident about it.

Side note - Paisley is getting entirely too much practice at this for a cat. Just before reading this we got a call from new daddy about twins by C-section and Paisley verbalized with me as I shouted Mazel Tov from across the room.

That's fantastic! I'm praying and vibing in your direction. And not in the dirty way. ;-)

It sounds delightful. That will be wonderful.

[schpahky.livejournal.com]

A ha!

And, you are welcome!

[keever.livejournal.com]

As I seem to be in the good graces of the New York-based apartment gods this year, I'll put in a good word.

Seriously, good thoughts. It sounds great.

[ladyofthelog.livejournal.com]

Thinking shiny thoughts for you!

[rm.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thank you!

All best wishes with this; if you need a van driver or some such, drop a line.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you much!

[delchi.livejournal.com]

Most excellent! I will fire up the ol 'make good shit happen for my friends dammit' machine and aim it your way. Make sure you all stand kinda close together, beam focus is kinda hard to maintain over this kidna distance.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Brilliant. Thanks!

[blucrowlaughing.livejournal.com]

I will the housing spirits to approve you.
