Lisa left us last week for an apartment of her very own after over two months of vagabond living in New York City.
Meghan and I are now alone in our apartment. Perhaps this doesn’t seem so strange to you since we are the only two people listed on our lease. However, we have never spent too much time living here alone. Two months after we moved in, Zak moved in for a year. (and his stuff moved in with him and has never left)
After Zak left, Maren moved in for a few months. After Maren left, Lisa came in. I realized the other day that Meghan and I have never gone longer than 2 months living alone in this apartment in our two years of living here. Pretty impressive, huh? Alas, these frequent visitors all stayed for free, so your thoughts that at least our rent was cheaper are incorrect. Clearly, Meghan and I are running a hostel and don’t know it. I wonder if there are tax breaks for that. I should look into it.
After Lisa left, I mentioned to Meghan that we should go out on a limb and try to live in this house just the two of us until the end of 2008. That would mean 4 months! That’s twice our record of the first two years, but I’m hoping we can get it done. (With that said, our house is always open to visitors and to Amber when she decides to do the right thing and move here. The loft is yours, Turley.)
So, here’s hoping we can make it to the end of the year with two roomates in our two bedroom apartment…
(cross fingers now)
