Excitement of all kinds!
May. 2nd, 2010 06:50 pmWow wow wow...where do I begin?!
I'm all moved out and currently sitting on a love-seat in our new closet of an apartment in downtown Montreal. The apartment is so tiny that I don't think I'll ever be able to have more than 1 friend over at a time, cross my heart. That is NOT an exaggeration! But location-wise, it makes it all so worth it. I can't even begin to describe what it feels like to live downtown. I've been wanting this since I was a little kid. I'm stoked. I'm amazed. I'm in awe. I'm giddy. I'm also exhausted.
Moving took alllll damn day yesterday...well the movers only took 4.5 hours, but I'm including the time it took to do some last-minute packing and cleaning and all the moving of stuff we did on our own. And we did this all whilst being hung-over as hell. Why we were hungover is another story for another post. But omg.
Also, not only have we moved from a fairly large apartment to an extremely small one, but we moved from a 4 1/2 to what's basically a 2 1/2. We got rid of a ton of stuff and are even currently storing stuff at Mike's parents' place (with a couple of things at my parents' place). Nonetheless, there is still barely any room for even *half* of it. We have 2 closets (one of them an extremely large closet) filled to the absolute brim with boxes. We started unpacking and then Mike went to work--luckily he only started at 4 today. I continued unpacking a bit myself and then stopped to go online for a bit as a very sudden and very intense wave of exhaustion just hit me. After everything I've gone through in the past 2 days, even nearly 12 hours of sleep was nowhere near enough! Luckily I don't go back to work til Wednesday, eh?
Anyway. This location BLOWS MY MIND. I can't even begin to describe it. After we woke up this afternoon, we walked down the street for a bite to eat and a coffee. A 2-minute walk down our street means hitting SHERBROOKE. Another 3 minutes brings us to DE MAISONNEUVE. It...it's undescribable. (For the non-Montrealers reading this: these are MAJOR downtown streets I'm naming here, hence my utter excitement, lol!) Also, where did we go? QUIZNO'S AND STARBUCKS. OMFG OMFG OMFGGGGGG
For those who don't know this about me already, I am absolutely HOOKED and IN LOVE with Quizno's and Starbucks, and neither of those things exist in Verdun. Now not only are they in my neighbourhood, but they're a 5-minute walk away from me! I AM SO SO SO SO SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS. I was literally jumping up and down when we walked there this afternoon. OMG. SUCH LOVE. Such loooooooooooooooooooooooove.
I would head over to Starbucks AGAIN right now and get a crazy chocolatey cherry latte-tastic cocktail of awesomeness, but Mike's at work right now and we haven't yet made copies of the keys so I'm kind of a prisoner in here until Mike gets home from work later tonight, lol. Now if only I could get the TV to work...!
