Mmmmmass.

Good sweet mother of pearl. Here’s what’s happened since I last had interslice.

Jason and I drive the Minion in the rain to MA. We meet Janice, who is the wonderful woman who is graciously letting us stay in her summer house until we get settled. She’s offered the place until May, but we decided that we’re going to need our own space. Wadsbone and I are what you’d call minimists, and Janice’s house is crammed full of wooden seagulls, tin horses, and hutches full of dinnerware. It’s a lot like living in a doll house – it’s neat to look at, but hard to do more than sit uncomfortably in.

So, we began searching for an apartment today. We tried the ol’ Internet, and found a bunch of places, but they were all crapholes. One was even on Crapo Street. So, we decided to start scouting the downtown area for For Rent signs above the businesses. The New Bedford downtown is awesome – full of coffeeshops, restaurants, banks … you know, like a downtown is supposed to be. We found THE PERFECT APARTMENT:
1. It’s above a coffee shop called Green Bean
2. It’s better than our last apartment, which is hard to do
3. It has a deck
4. It’s new, and it has gorgeous granite countertops and appliances (new, not granite)
5. In-unit washer and dryer

If only it had a roof deck for a garden, and parking, it would be perfect. Now we just need to move into it.
