I closed on my house on Wednesday. By Thursday evening I had all of my possessions sitting in one small corner of my basement. By Friday the old apartment was cleaned and empty. I am now a homeowner at the ripe old age of 31. Should I be feeling this smug? I think so.

My house is huge, or at least it is compared to the apartment. 200 sq feet in the old place, 1000 sq feet in the new place, and that doesn’t even include the basement in to that figure. So everything I own currently fits in to one small section of the basement. But it has begun to creep out, as “stuff” tends to do. The place is really a disaster right now.

I’ve been procrastinating on doing any more work because I think I pulled a muscle at Ikea yesterday. See I had to do an emergency Ikea run yesterday because I went out Friday night with my buddy John. When I got home I realized there wasn’t a single place to sit comfortably. In my apartment by bed doubled as a couch (ahh the magic of foutons) but now that I have a real bedroom it no longer acts in that particular fassion. So I purchased a couch and a real bedframe for my mattress. The fouton frame has been broken for a while and I kind of wanted to have something a bit more “grown up” than the college look I was sporting in the studio.

I was without internet for nearly five days. I wasn’t quite sure how I was going to make it. Well, without internet is a slight over exageration, I do have it on my phone, but it is kind of a pain when you want to do some serious procrastinating. I will post some pictures later once I start to get things all in order.

But for now, home ownership is such a fun thing
