: nickerbokker August 15, 2005, 10:14:28 PM
soooooo.....he re is the new apartment.

it's not a mansion or anything...but i love it.

here are pics from about 5 minutes after i signed the papers.  between being sick, sleeping, going to the library, hanging out at jaimes house, walking bear (ONLY ONCE DARNIT), and pretending to job search....not to mention trying to keep angus from turning into a total devil, i haven't really put my apartment together yet....it's more like i've spent a week tearing it apart!!!!!  SOOO no pix of it all organized and stuff...one day, it will happen.

anyway...here ya go

i know you all have just been dying to see my new place LOL  ;) ;) ;)

Too Funny!
C'mon Nicker, get it together.
I sold the mobile home I lived in and moved into a dog friendly apartment complex in Clovis. The mobile home complex had too many "Rats on a Rope!" and Tulsa terrorized all, owners and "Rats", we're really happy here. Just across the street from Clark Intermediate. She's learned how to play soccer, is a GREAT outfielder in softball, and loves all the little kids that play there with their parents in the evenings.
Welcome back,
John

That's so sweet!  He'll be so surprised to find out his WTB is going to be there with the babies!  I think I much prefer grand-dogs to grand-babies....what do you think????
: Re: new apartment pix.....
: nickerbokker August 17, 2005, 11:52:56 AM
i agree 300%.  no kiddos for me!  just lotsa yard, with lotsa big newfies and danes and REAL saints! 
: Re: new apartment pix.....

Well, THAT was easy!!  Let's sign the papers, 'k???

and WHERE are the pics!!

IF, AND REPEAT IF, the dsl gets hooked up today, they will be here later tonight!  i am at jaime's right now, shhhh lol, cuz i even unplugged the AOL at home so i have nothing again. 

oh im so excited to have a HTB, AND HE COMES WITH A CABIN!!!  I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER!
: Re: new apartment pix.....
: newflvr August 17, 2005, 05:00:23 PM
I just have to break it to him.  THAT should be easy! 

The cabin is an old log cabin...funky but fun.  The dogs can run down and jump in the Lake every morning before breakfast and I can sit on the beach and watch them romp.  It more than makes up for it not be grand and fashionablel!!

i LOVE old cabins!!!  and, i love to renovate!!!  and i love water!!!!  it's perfect!

Where are your pics???  Have you found a job yet?  Do you love your new life???
: Re: new apartment pix.....
: nickerbokker August 17, 2005, 06:04:21 PM
well.  i was told my internet would work on the 13th....then the 17th...now today, i call and they say the 24th.....SO IM READY TO BUST A CAP IN SOMEONES $^%!  I AM SO PISSED I CANT TELL YOU.....so for now, i still have dial-up.  i am mad mad mad, but will have to work through it.    i will try the pix again today, but if it doesn't work, i will have to wait until next wednesday. 

do i have a job....have i looked?  lol.  no

do i love my new life.  YES YES YES..  LA is where i consider home.  it is where a lot of stuff happened for me, and where i found happiness for the first time in a long time.  my friends, and some that i consider family, are still there...and it will always be my first love.  BUT MAN DO I LOVE FRESNO.  it's so different here.  there are streets with homes and yards and the apartments are even spread out here.  its hot yes, but there is grass all over...there is freee parking!, and lots of it.  the blockbusters here are even bigger.  i was actually driving last night with amos lee in the background and my windows down and sunroof open....and i was like "damn, this was THE move i needed to make....i love it here."

leaving everything i built back home was VERY hard, ask marit, i wrote her and called her every day when i first got here because i was so sad and lost and all of that.....and i still miss everyone....bu t at the same time, i NEEDED a fresh start again.  i was getting into that rutt in my life that i needed to jump out of right away....and i think this was the place to do it.  jaime and michael treat me like family..i get to play with BEAR every day, my dogs have hella space to play, and they get to walk and play in grass every day....

its different here, much different....b ut a different i very much needed.  best part is, i am only 2 1/2 hours away from hollywood and my old life there.  i can visit whenever i want, and i am here very soon. 

i am soo happy here, thanks!  lol

i think the HTB will like it here too for a while...i guess then we can move to the cabin, or the the hollywood hills?

Oh, Nikkers, it's PERFECT!  It looks brand new!  And I loved your description of your new life!  Yeah, sometimes you have to "pull a geographical" to get your self ready for the next thing:  whatever it is!  Space, greentrees and grass, happy dogs, good friends right near by:  it sounds like you've got it all!!!  AND you are HOURS closer to the cabin!!!

I'm sure HTB will like it...but he just bought a condo in Redondo Beach with the younger brother.  The younger one still has another year of college but at least he won't have to live at home for almost two years to save money like your HTB did.

I'm glad you have jabear in your pics...makes it look like it's going to be lived in SOON!!

....and Angus is really getting bigger!  and looking more and more like a REAL St. Bernard.  Maybe it's the Fresno air???  FRESH!!!!

I've been trying to reply to this post for DAYS!  My freaking internet connection has been on the fritz since Wednesday and they have assured me that it is fixed.  If it isn't..I'm going to have to beat people about the head with a blunt object!  Nickers - I feel your pain.

Anywho....I'm so glad that you are getting settled into your new place.  It looks very nice...especia lly the bathroom that now Wangus has christened it.  ;)  You really deserve to be happy.  I hope the Fresno turns out to be the breath of fresh air you need!

Hugs,
Swissy

Maybe Fresno will be a breath of fresh air, but her bathroom and Wangus's bootie won't! HA!
: Re: new apartment pix.....
: dohertyswissy August 19, 2005, 08:38:07 AM
BA HA HA HA HA!

Nicole - You are trip!  Maybe we should send a "Welcome" package with nose plugs, air freshener, and some industial strength bathroom cleaner?

Oh - and a bottle of wine.  She's going to need it after cleaning up Wangus' present.  ;)
: Re: new apartment pix.....
: lins_saving_grace August 19, 2005, 11:06:45 AM
Yeah...when's the open house party? 
Looks like Wangus likes the back porch.  :)
