Home Sweet Home





I was fortunate enough to purchase a "room" from one of the gentleman leaving. I aquired sheets, comforter, light, fan, refrigerator, tv, dvd player, stereo, desk, chairs, hot pot, 3 rugs and live plants. How much you may ask? Merely $150! I am ecstatic!! I still need pictures to hang on my otherwise sterile looking metal walls. But I am not complaining.

Okay, so these are the photos of the inside of my room. If you notice, very little pictures on the wall. What was I thinking not bringing family pictures!! My lap top for viewing photos is not as great as I thought. It would be so nice to walk in and see a "memory" on the wall and smile. Hint hint family members!!

My cable is finally installed. I feel very fortunate. The gentleman who used to live there was a Captain, psychiatrist to be exact. I asked him why he didn't get cable when it was offered to him. He told me he liked to keep life simple; but, he had the cable placed on the roof and just never ran it inside. (Say what?) So one day a guy was on the roof spraying it off (you know because of all the sand) and I asked if I could borrow his ladder. After all, I used to be an electronics technician once upon a time. How hard could it be to hook up cable? Well, he was so nice he said he would do it for me. Unfortunately, my cable did not have connectors so I had to run to the hodgie shop to get some. Then he switched it out and pushed it through the AC hole for me because I am a little short. How cool!! I have cable. It consists of 10 channels, most of them news of some sort. But every once in awhile I get HGTV or some of the tv series I like to watch. Once again, I am not complaining!!
