::HOT!::
I tried to beat the coldness in the apartment Saturday morning by going on a muffin-baking spree. We had managed to accumulate 3 different boxes of muffin mix over our 2 year habitation at this place, and I was on a mission to use them up. Actually, since we’re both moving soon, I’m on a mission to use up all the food in the cupboard. The muffins, however, were the item that looked the easiest to make while providing the maximum heat in the kitchen. They were yummy– I made raspberry and corn. I still have some blueberry mix– maybe I’ll make those next weekend.
Though the kitchen got warmish, the oven didn’t heat the whole house. Thus, the biatch and I went out on Saturday to get some food, and ended up in Newbury Comics in Alewife to kill more cold time. When we came back to Allston, lo and behold… the heat was back on! And on it was… it was 80 degrees and climbing. However, though it was like a sauna, I didn’t complain. It was nice to be in shorts and a t-shirt sweating it out in my room again.
I also put the deposit down on the apartment in Cambridge–I can move in on the 15th!!! I am so psyched! I mean, I actually like living with people most of the time, but living all by myself will be awesome. I don’t think I’ll ever leave the house, but still. MY OWN PLACE! I’m already mentally decorating. Now to score some kind of couch-oid thing. I have a futon mattress, but no futon frame–maybe I could get one used. I hate futons, and I feel that I am way too old to have one, but hey, they’re cheap. There’s no way on earth I’ll ever be able to afford a new couch in like a zillion years, and most old couches are super battered if they are within my price range. I could always do the traditional Allstonian thing and snag one off the curb someplace, but I don’t think one will fit in my car. At any rate, I AM PSYCHED!!!
