New starts all around!

Well, I did it. I moved to my cute new apartment - now an extra 5 miles away from school. It's great! Except for the fact that I'm in a cattle like parking lot with no garage, I like it.

Of course, a stray kitten found me the day I was moving out...he was sooooo cute! He decided I was mama immediately, and I wanted to keep him...or did I??? Scratch marks, smelly litter box in my house, vet bills , plus the new apt. requires $500 deposit. I know I'll never see it, and I really can't afford to fork out that kind of dough right now. Poor kitty. My old landlord took him home, thank goodness...but doesn't really want him either...I'm guilt-stricken by the fact that I don't really want a pet right now.

Good Guy said it's my commitmentphobia...can't even commit to a little kitten. Now that's for deep therapy, I'm sure.

Now the hard part: organizing my crap before my mom and grams come to visit tomorrow! I'm so excited to make it look great - make it look like something grown up.

In other news, GG graduates from college on Sat. He makes me smile everyday - but I still have those lingering doubts about long term...he is patient though, I know he'll only push me when I'm ready to be pushed. He deserves a special graduation gift...so he and I are taking off to Houston next weekend for some long-needed alone time with the Cubs and the Astros! YAY!

We have both been so dreadfully busy this summer...and we need the break from this po-dunk city.

We decided not to plan too much...just wander the city and see what befalls us!

It will be a great end to a summer, and a fresh start to his new-found freedom.
