That's Work!

Mom and I went apartment hunting for my sister on Tuesday. I had never had to look for a place anywhere, and I tell you what. That is hard work!!! We headed to Toledo for our first appointment at 10:00 and couldn't find the office building. We had to call them to give directions. The second was ok, they flat out said that they might not have any openings. So we headed to the third. Eh. Oh, by the way, Stefani had given us a great checklist so we could check all the things she wanted to know. None of the first three were overly great, plus, the third said Stefani had to let them know that very day if she wanted it or they would have to let it go to someone else. Talk about pressure!!
So Mom and I thought we would look at some she hadn't listed. We called one, and they didn't have any available. So we decided to head to the fourth. We had a lot of time to waste, and were getting frustrated. The fourth was nicer, however, why would any apartment complex put down hunter green carpet through the whole place???? What if you have red furniture? Stupid! So we had some more free time. We called another place, however they said that today was not a good day for them, could we come tomorrow?? No, no we can't. By that point, I told Mom that we needed to do something else for a while or we'd go nuts! We walked around a bookstore for a while, then went to find the last apartment. Maps aren't always right, just to let you know. The last one was nicer also. At that point, I was just ready to be home.
We got back to my house after 7:00, and Stefani called to see how it went. We were on the phone with her for at least three hours! It was a long day! Not something I would want to do any time soon again. :)
