Yes, Yes…I am a major slacker. It has been too long since my last post. I have had a rough last couple months, so let me update you quickly if you haven’t been following my social feeds.
I moved to LA in January. I found the apartment I was living in after only having 2 days to search. I learned the hard way. It ended up being a disaster. Not such a good area. Loud, dirty, smelly neighbors. Horrible management. And the worst of all…ROACHES!
My apartment had been fumigated I think a total of 7 times by the time I moved out. Luckily with the help of my savvy mother, some lawyer friends, i.e. Diane Foos and Geoffrey Westbrook, and the law on my side, I was able to get out of my lease early.
After living in LA for almost a year I had picked out a few areas that were much more desirable. Safer, cheaper, closer to places I enjoyed, and walking distance to restaurants/stores. After looking for a few weeks with no success I was getting super frustrated and feeling like I was never going to find something. My mom came down for a visit and there was an open house I had found on Craigslist that I wanted to check out. We were the first one’s there. We took a look and basically knew “it was the one!” I went straight to the management offices, filled out the application and within an hour was called by the management company letting me know I had been accepted and the place was mine!
I moved into the super cute studio with a separate kitchen and bathroom on Wednesday, November 30th. It’s in a small building, on a safe street in between Santa Monica Blvd. and Melrose, right next to Fairfax. AWESOME LOCATION! West Hollywood or what the locals like to call WeHo is my new home. It is cheaper than my previous place and has some great character. I couldn’t be more happy.
I did have some problems when I moved in i.e. not properly cleaned, things not fixed, broken fridge. But most of it has been fixed. A special lady in my life, Marty Wagner, helped put things into perspective when she asked, “Any cockroaches?” I said “No.” And she replied, “Little blessings in the big things!” It is true. Everything that was wrong could be easily fixed, unlike the pesky bugs who enjoyed my lemonade at my last place!
I was finally connected back with the world on Wednesday when my internet and DirectTV was set up. I will say, the one sad thing is not having AT&T U-verse anymore. If you are close to me, you know how much I love them. The ability to record up to 4 shows at one time is a lifesaver. Now with Direct I have to choose to watch some shows online and others to record. I know this is a “first world problem,” but TV is one of my passions and an industry I hope to one day work in, so it’s a big deal to me 🙂
So, with being plugged back into the world I decided I needed to jump back on the blog and give you all a quick update. I’m hoping to get back into blogging regularly, but I’m not gonna promise anything since it is the holidays, I’m still unpacking, and I’m trying to catch up on shows, podcasts, and read two books!
Hope you all enjoy this time of year surrounded by family and friends. And remember to be thankful for the little blessings in your life because they are what make each day worthwhile 🙂
Until next time…PEACE OUT!
The One...
