"Oh, the things I have seen..."

Bruce and I have been looking for an apartment for a few weeks now. We have spent many a weeknight, rushing home from work to meet someone with keys to our potential home, only to find that people live in VERY different living conditions than we do. Our home isn't spotless by any means, but we do tend to be on the "tidy" side. To be messy is one thing, but we have seen some crazy stuff in people's apartments. 

Here are some my favorites:
  • a framed picture of a women parting the back of her hair to show her exposed brain
  • a model skeleton, standing at the foot of someone's bed
  • a mosaic dinning room table tiled with 1-inch orange tiles (if you are thinking this sounds cool, it wasn't. It was scary)
  • A COMPLETELY yellow kitchen
  • a dining room floor covered in dry cat food... it was crunchy to say the least
  • a four room apartment: one painted neon blue, one painted neon yellow, one painted neon green and one painted white
  • molding PAINTED "marble" with various brush sizes and paint colors, a feature that not only covered the whole apartment, but also that the landlord referred to as real marble!

Thankfully, our search may be over considering a pending apartment application that is in process!
