My favourites from FMyLife over the past week! :) Today, I went up to a secluded mountain my boyfriend took me to for our first date. As I saw another couple hooking up in the bushes, I phoned my boyfriend to tell him someone found our secret spot. His Bob Marley ringtone started playing from the bush.

So I put an ad up yesterday afternoon for my apartment on Craigslist. My Landlord put one up as well. So far I’ve gotten a few responses (as well as someone from Twitter who read my Tweet and is interested). So I forwarded everything onto my Landlord.

There were 2 boxes: 6 months or 12 months. I checked 12 months, because that’s at least how long I planned on renting an apartment for. I’m 99% sure that I didn’t sign that paper, I think I just wrote down my information. I don’t think there was even a section for … Continue reading →
