why i need to enlist a grandma

See this gorgeous kitchen? 

Well, I have a funny story about this place. 

So it's no secret from y'all that I'm looking for a new apartment (due to my crazy roomie). 

Well, in my quest for the perfect new place -- I've been looking farther south in town ... closer to the boyfriend. 

One night while headed over to his place I stopped at the market and realized there was a big group of apartments just across the street. Desperate as I am, I decided to stop in and see if I could talk to anyone working there. 

But before I did this -- I did something really creepy. I looked inside people on the ground level's open windows. I could see these gorgeous kitchens, the cute little living rooms with fireplaces and laminate flooring.
And from what I could tell, there were tennis courts, covered parking, a pool -- everything you could look for in a complex.

I fell in LOVE. 

I was sure they'd be out of my price range, but I new I needed to ask. 

I walked inside the front door, approached the front desk and asked the girl if they had any apartments available. 

"For your family?" she asked. 

I'm sure I looked puzzled and replied, "No, for me."

She smiled as she said, "Um, miss, you can't live here."

A little bit hurt and slightly offended that she judged me that precisely I said, "Um, alright. Thanks." 

She laughed and said, "This is a retirement community, so you're too young." 

OF COURSE. 

Of course I fall desperately in love with the RETIREMENT COMMUNITY I can't move into because I'm 40+ years too young.

Hahahahahahaha. Classic. 

So, my search continues.

xoxo.
