These past two days have been horrible at work. Yesterday, I left my laptop at home and I noticed when I was in the parking lot of my building, so I had to go back to pick it up. Today, was even more horrible. I had to give the ASU ops a training in control systems, and I had two old timers that were not paying attention and were acting like dickheads. So what do I decide to do to destress??? I dip in snuff under my lip and start to chew it. It was an intense experience. The room started to spin super fast, and I wasn't gloomy anymore. I wanted to defy them and let them know that they were assholes, but then I started to feel sick and the texture of the tobacco in my mouth was so nasty I had to spit everything out. I just wanted to blog this awesome/awkward experience. So in the past year, Ive been to the rodeo, bought myself leather boots/cowboy hat, fired a revolver and chewed some snuff. What can I say? My Puerto Rican ass is turning Texan!
I have crossed the wonderful 610 "bridge" and moved on to greener pastures: Pearland. I have decided to leave the bustling and ramblings of downtown Houston to settle in a more comfortable apartment, to the south of downtown. I strongly believe that moving to this apartment is a big upgrade for me because 1) now I have hardwood floors for my little rascal to pee and poop on, 2) the apartment complex offers more open spaces to walk Nahla, 3) I have a poolview from my balcony which is a super plus ( the only view I have on my current apartment is the rust parking covers of the neighbors, 4) its $350.00 cheaper, and this is very important since I need to save as much money as possible if I am planning on going back to school and 5) I live 5 minutes away from the Pearland Town Center, which has over 50 different retail stores to choose from.
I feel really blessed and thankful to have this opportunity and I think that this decision will bring forth a new atmosphere of change and novelty to my life. I just cant believe that Im moving!!! Can't wait to invite all of my blogger friends to a cookout ha!
Here are some pics that I took today. Enjoy
It's been almost 10 months since I moved to Houston, and I love everything about it. I have friends, a good job, and a great apartment. But there's a price to pay. Now that I got used to the single life in a very different city, I have started looking for potential apartment complexes that are both roomy and cheap. If I could lower my expenses by $350-500 that would allow me to save more money for my grad school plans. Last Sunday I visited the Pearland area, a southern suburb near the downtown, and I fell in love with it. There's a Target, H.E.B, the Pearland Mall, and a bunch of cool restaurants within walking distance. I will probably be apartment hunting this weekend with my new real estate agent, and Ill keep you posted on my final decision. I am grateful to God and my family for helping me choose the apartment at Kirby Place, I know that it was a great choice for that period of time in my life, but I am ready to move on, always forward...
