Things that are great about living alone

1) No one to judge your crappy television selection
2) You can eat straight out of the container without any looks
3) If the dishes don't get done, you have no one to blame but yourself
4) If you want to go to bed at 10:45, you can, and don't have to worry about anyone staying up late and keeping you awake

Last night was the first night alone in bed and it was great! I didn't get freaked out by any noises. I also realized that I like that my upstairs neighbor is a lovely fat german/polish/middle europe something. Hearing him upstairs is comforting knowing that someone else is around.

I have unpacked allll of my boxes, and all but one of my suitcases. I have to do laundry tonight, buy cleaning supplies (right now my tub is clean enough to have a bath in and I am going to keep it that way come hell or high water!), a hammer, screwdrivers, and a chain for my door.

ALSO, major score!! Last night I found a toaster and a kettle under the sink! I'm thinking I might be able to get away with not having a microwave. I can always heat things up in the oven, right? Or, there is always the whole learn to cook thing..hmm.

V was reading my "Rocco gets real" or whatever Rocco's cooking book is. She read the recipe for some kind of salad and she said "Do you know this says, 'Buy a rotisserie chicken'?? Its not COOKING if you are mixing a precooked chicken with salad!" I said, um...its cooking to me! She thinks my "How to boil water" cook book is going to be better for teaching me ACTUALLY how to cook and not just how to shop for pre-cooked food.
