1. There are no lights in the living room or bedroom of our apartment! Yup! The ceiling is empty!! Dont ask why, i have no clue...
2. We have to pay to use the washer and dryer downstairs... $1.25 EACH
3. There are not any microwaves, i keep buying things at the store to just throw in the microwave and i pull it out and im like "crap"! The other day i tried cooking a hot pocket in the toaster. Yeah it doesnt work...
4. We cant get dish in our apartment. The apartment will not let us put a dish on the building and we cant get reception from the balcony. So its back the antenna and court shows all day.
5. Our apartments are animal approved so you better watch where your walking or you will step in dog poo! Its everywhere! And who ever lived in our apartment before us had a dog and its hair is all over the carpet.. so gross. And of course we dont have a vacuum.
7.KEYS! We have to unlock a door to get into our building with one key.. get our mail with another.. get into the gym/pool with another... pay for the laundry machines with another... and get into our actual apartment with another! And not to mention that the apx office is in another building that we go in and out of all day so we have to call someone to let us in.
8. Drivers are ridiculous here. They do not care about anyone but themselves. They like to make their own lanes and stop in the middle of the road for no reason. And the roads are terrible... just replaced our front tire on sunday from hitting a pot hole the night before. It split a huge hole in the tire!
9. Im growing out of all my clothes!! :'( I feel so huge and unattractive! It doesnt help that all i brought were summer clothes and it happens to be an average of 40 degrees since we have been here!
10. I havent felt the baby move yet. I get more and more anxious just waiting. Thinking that every little movement could have been it but who knows i have no idea what im looking for.
Feels good to get off my chest! Ha... Here are some pics of the lake...
Okay WOW!!!! Why did APX pick such a crappy apartment? That is so crazy and so annoying! The dog hair, EWW you should call the manager or something and tell them that they need to vaccuum and clean the carpets for you!
ReplyDeleteMegan that really sucks that you don't have a microwave too. And no lights in the rooms.. Our living room is like that too!
Megan all of your complaints were so funny.. I read them to Mitch. We were laughing so hard. Not at you... just how you were explaining everything.....sucks but funny! Good luck this Summer geez. Try and have Patience ... you will feel him soon! Maybe you should look on craigslist for a vacuum and a microwave.
To add to britts novel....no Dish? oh my gosh I would probably end up jumping off the balcony to my death.
ReplyDeletewow... that can get frustrating! Hang in there. You'll find some things that you love about Chicago and being in a new place. I don't think I've felt my baby move either... sometimes I think I did, but then I think it was just something else. Haha... glad I am not the only one who feels that way with their first!
ReplyDeleteyour comments were funny, you will find things to do without tv, just think of it as an adventure, you will laugh about it someday...as for the baby it will just feel like a flutter at first until its bigger, be patient it will happen soon...Love ya Mom
