Yay! We were let out of work an hour early today due to ice storm warnings.
Traffic and weather weren't bad at all on my way home, so hopefully it remains that way for other people today.
We had a birthday party for our company's owner today. The most delicious ($40) chocolate cake and ice cream.

Thanks to dmontgrey, I realized that my today.com blog wasn't letting non today'ers leave comments. That's all fixed now.
My post today is probably pretty funny considering just how much I'm into sports and all.

When I got home tonight I had a note on my door from the apartment management. It told me that if I signed a new long-term lease, my rent would go up by $5/month. Or, I could go month to month and have my rent increase $50/month.
Somehow, I had thought that the month to month rent was much higher than the long-term lease.
I'm having a lot of debate in my mind over whether to keep the question/possibility of CA alive or not. Given the state of the economy right now, and the utter lack of job availability I've seen so far in the area I'm wanting to go to . . . plus the fact that I have a job that in a few weeks I'll have been at for 3 years . . ????
I'm just not sure if I should go for the 6 mo lease for only $5/mo more than now, and then less flexibility if a job should miraculously turn up that fits my criteria, or bite the bullet and go for the month to month lease for the extra $50/mo.
Right now I'm really leaning towards telling my dad I've decided NOT to pursue the idea of moving out to CA. I just am not firm enough on that to make the step of signing on the dotted line of a long-term lease.

maybe if you signed the long term lease and SAVED the extra $45 a month, then if you had to break the lease you would have money saved up incase something happened.
just a suggestion!

My current lease ends on March 30. So, if I signed a new one for 6 months, that would take me through September 30. I'd have to double check, but I think the reletting fee is $1,145.
My contract has a 60-day notice clause. I still need to check to see if that means I have to give them a 60-day notice if I decide to go month to month, or if I can wait until March 30 to make a final decision.
