Well friends, today we did our first bout of apartment searching. We planned to check out about five places, then headed out with our handy gps device (which we have named Gertie). At first we thought good ole Gert had led us astray, as we pulled up to a medical office building and circled several times as she yelled at us that we had arrived at our destination. We finally wandered in and found that we had actually found the rental office, not the apartment itself. Also, as it turns out, it was the rental office for the ghetto...we thanked the nice woman at the counter before we ran screaming from the building and promptly drove away.
The next place was the only one we actually got to look in, and it was very cute and safe, but also more expensive as it was right downtown. Pretty sure I could become a fab Minneapolis downtowner though and love every minute of it. But, we moved on and drove past a few more before giving up for the day. Next week should be better and we already have one appt. for a viewing.
We ate lunch at the cutest little espresso shop. Oh, I am pausing here as Suzi has interjected to remind me that I flashed some hotel worker boys last night. Let me explain before you think me whore-ish please. I seem to have developed a mysterious bruise on my thigh. On the way to the pool last night...I apparently thought that the elevator was a fine time to get Suzi's opinion on the matter. So...I lifted up my little coverup...swimsuit fully in tact underneath, just in time for the doors to open and the boys to get a good view. Suzi doubled over in fits of laughter, only to find that we had gotten out on the wrong floor after all of that.
Ok...back to what I was saying...which is not nearly as exciting, but I think you all should know. After we ate, we drove over to see Jason's apartment and walked around looking at some nearby rentals. Then of course, we had to go explore the mall of America. You have to do it once I guess...even if you never go back due the overwhelming-ness of it all.
Suzi purchased a fabulous dress! Don't worry, you will get to see it when we are all dolled up for Phantom next week. It's fabulous, truly. That was the most exciting thing that happened there....until our dear Suzi ventured out on her own in search of the bathroom. I may not let her wander off anymore, as left to her own devices she finds random pools of vomit on the bathroom floor and slips on them. By now most of you have probably read about this on facebook. Honestly, I think she should have at least demanded a new pair of shoes from the MOA management....or gone further and rolled around in it, maybe even beat herself up a bit and sued! Then we could really have a good vacation. I should have been there to take pictures...but alas, she had wandered off on her own.
We ended the day at the Loring Pasta Bar in Dinkytown. I don't really know what this is...but I guess it's a cute little area by the U of M. It was a fabulous place that reminded me a little of Harry Potter, crooked looking bricks up the walls, and wonderful things to look at all around. There was a live band for entertainment purposes as well.
No pics today, we were a little distracted. We will be better travelers tomorrow, we promise.
Off to bed now. Hasta Manana
