3.5 more months....

I seriously can't take living in this apartment another day, but unfortunately we have 3.5 months left. Ryan and I have tried to find another temporary place just until our house is done, but no one will give us a 4 month contract. I've tried to not think about it, but after going through countless candles and bottles of febreeze and freezing my bum off all winter with the windows open and it STILL smells like 5 smokers are all in our apartment at once... I have a slight problem with it. Not only does our next door neighbor smoke like a chimney, but the ONE room in our entire place that never smelled like smoke now does because some idiot girl moved in beneath us that smokes like crazy (yet pounds on our ceiling if she doesn't like noise at the moment). So that means that 3 out of 3 of our neighbor apartments smoke. This smell is not good with a pregnant nose, either and has been the trigger for several awfully sick nights.

The kicker for me was a couple weeks ago after church and our apartment REEKED of smoke, so we lit all of our candles. A little while later our neighbor came over and knocked on our door to ask what kind of candles we had because she loved the smell. She's never been to our apartment before that, she could just smell them THROUGH THE WALL!!! It kills me.

Just needed to get that out. This just might be the slowest 3.5 months of my entire life...

Gross! I HATE the smell of smoke. Sorry you can't get rid of it. Just take a 3.5 month roadtrip down to Houston.

ugh that is awful! I'm sorry Brittney! It will hopefully be a little more manageable after the pregnancy nausea goes away. I HATED our apartment (I would cry whenever we'd be driving back there) because of the old musty smell until about 18 weeksish and then it was much better.

that is terrible! I am so sorry! I love that she came and said she liked the smell. At first I thought you were going to say that she came and was going to complain of the smell. :) ha. Can you imagine!? PS I need to talk to you about the typepad blog tomorrow. Don't let me forget.
