The second rental house ended up being one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen, but I will wait to tell that story because it really needs some pictures to go along with it. So that made our decision easy!
We went back to our first choice (apartment #1), hoping we could still get the discounted $700/month that was supposed to be over on Friday (originally $825!). Another lady was working that day, and she opened up the notebook to reveal a post-it marked $750/month. She called the first woman to confirm, we got the lower rate and made our deposit ~ yay!.
A minor concern ~
The second woman told us there were actually two available for that floorplan, and assumed that we wanted the get a certain one because the other one was right beside a playground. We walked over to check it out and that was not the apartment we had been shown ~ it was even better! Where it was located it had a better view, a secluded back yard, and closer parking. I am a little worried that the first lady only offered us an even lower rate because she was trying to get rid of the other apartment, and that she'll tell us we will have to take that one. Either way, it is a great place!
But onto the important stuff ~ my first Give-a-way!
A nice large 2" wide roll of Cram Cream deco tape, covered in colorful frogs and "Kero Kero" (ribbit in Japanese). I bought this roll new & used it a few times but prefer some of my other prints, so it needs a loving home. You can see the roll on the bottom here ~
Just leave a comment below and I will choose the winner Wednesday with a random number generator. I will be using the comments from LJ and Blogger. (Feel free to comment even if you are not interested in the tape! Just let me know you don't want to be in the drawing.)
