It’s the end of the blog as we know it!

Ok just kidding.. but I got your attention, didn’t I? It is official, as of Wednesday, September 23, 2009, I am no longer air mattress living. That is right, I have a bed. Not only do I have a bed, but I also have an apartment! It has been a very big week. JP and I moved out of our cousin’s place and into a two bedroom apartment in Santa Monica. I failed to report the move sooner because we were in fact still on the air mattress for a few days. I didn’t want you guys to get too excited there.

It’s funny because just Monday morning I was thinking I could really stay on this air mattress for a while. JP got a bed delivered on Sunday, so I was flying solo on the air mattress. I bought a bed from a friend who moved but had yet to get it because it required me renting a U-Haul (clearly a mattress isn’t going in the mini). Finally on Wednesday I walked to the U-Haul store from my new apt and rented a very fancy truck. I felt very out of place driving the huge thing and definitely opted to get the $10 insurance policy. There was no telling what I was going to hit. However, no worries JP and I successfully moved the bed at 10pm in the dark, with no injuries to the truck, bed, or us. However, a crazy neighbor smoking a cig out her kitchen window did yell at me for blocking the driveway. Can we all imagine the thoughts going through my head. By the way, did I fail to mention that there are TONS of crazies that live by the beach. Yea, so far I have met two: chain smoking lady from last night, and my other crazy neighbor Cassie. Cassie has a black cat who was born on Halloween, and she thinks one day they will fly off on their broomstick together and ride around Santa Monica (no joke, she told me this in the parking lot). So far 0 for 0 on neighbors. Stay tuned.

Anyways, back to the blog subject at hand, my new bed. Waking up this morning in a real live bed was amazing. I think everyone should sleep on an air mattress for a few weeks to truly appreciate their own bed.

Now the age old question: do I change my blog name since the air mattress is no more? Or here’s an idea, I’ll keep it for guests who come visit me. I could even have them guest post onto the blog about their air mattress living trip. No we’re talking. I’m liking this idea. :)

Ok, who is going to book the next flight out here?
