mrs. t's Profile

Be honest. If the landlord raises a big stink about your boyfriend moving in, then it's not a "great apartment"! In my experience, Mr. T and I never had any issues getting a place together when we weren't married. Most landlords want to know that the single person that they're renting to is not going to be staying out late and partying. They want stable, quiet, and respectful tenants that are going to pay the rent on time. By being honest about living with your boyfriend, it shows that you are responsible, honest, and respectful of the building. . . all great qualities in a tenant!

I'm always amazed that people can fit all of their cocktail making necessities on one bar cart. With all the different cocktails that Mr. T and I like to make at home, we would need at least three for all the glasses and accoutrements!

Just switched from sliced whole grain to an artisan whole grain after we read how to keep it from going stale throughout the week on this blog! By purchasing a small loaf, cutting only what we need and turning the cut side down on the cutting board, the loaf usually lasts the entire week.

Art, rugs, pillows, throws, lampshades, plants, draperies, art, art, and art can add color to a cream room. Oh. . . and did I mention art? :-)

Peaches! Nectarines! I guess any stone fruit, really. . . .
This photo made me sigh with sweet sweet longing.

I need this for myself!

Be critical. If you love it, take it with you. If you're on the fence, take it with you. If you think you can live without it, let it go.

Smile, exercise, eat healthfully, indulge occasionally, say "Thank you", keep learning, and relax.

If your gut is telling you that it's fake, it's fake. TRUST YOUR GUT!

Check to make sure that your credit/debit cards don't expire while you are traveling. Again, learned this the hard way when my card stopped working while in Italy. Granted, not a bad place to be stranded but still. . . .
