It has a small washer/dryer!! So far that was the easiest laundry I have done so far in NYC. It's AMAZINGLY easy to do laundry when you don't need to dedicate 2-3 hours to it, and bring your keys and soap and lug it all down to the laundry room (if you're lucky enough to have it in your building), or lug it down flights of stairs and then 2-5 blocks away (in the rain, snow, etc. having to wear your coat)...I will not miss that!!
I gave it almost no attention and it magically seemed to do itself. EXCITING!!
It has a dishwasher, but we don't use it because it uses a lot of electricity, and E likes to store the dishes in there instead of the cabinets, because space is of course hard to find here. We managed to both fit all of our clothing into one closet each, and one small dresser, which is pretty amazing.
I got rid of probably half of my clothes when I moved two months ago, and I'm glad I did!!
It has a microwave/convection oven, which I'd never seen before. But it managed to make a cake last night! (In two steps, as it only fits one cake pan at a time). It was kind of fun though because it reminded me of an easy bake oven, which I always wanted. The cake actually came out better than normal too!
It also has a gorgeous chandelier. Despite it being small, E found a great way to arrange the furniture so we're getting the most space possible. We might get some dividers so we can have alone time at times.
This is a picture from when we were moving in. Doesn't do it justice, but it's something...
The lounge has artsy furniture and the patio has gigantic gold chess pieces just sitting there. It's very Alice 'n Wonderland, which I really like! The lounge has a huge wall of white books -- not real books. Just books with white covers.I've been taking more salsa classes to get out of the house, and that's been fun. I still have a lot to work on, but it's good exercise too.
And I've been going to more networking events for work, which seems to help to promote it. And I just got a new client, yay! It's fun to have such a diverse group of people. I also get to speak at an event for people who worked in fashion but are changing their careers in early December, which I'm really looking forward to! I love talking about personality types, and that's basically what the talk will be about. yay!
For Halloween I was a cat, and E was a ninja. It was really fun! We went to a great party, and we then went downstairs to another apmt. that had a HUGE party. The common area in this apmt was the size of a bar, and it had an actual "bar" area, so they must have parties often.
It's getting cold, and I've started wearing the warm coats!
That's all for now...
