Sorry I need to vent...

So I decided that I really needed to get this all out of my system because I'm really kind of upset about it and it's just kind of a ridiculous story so you all can share it with me I guess. So the other night...I believe Sunday...my phone rang at about midnight and that does not usually happen so I was kind of surprised. Zora was out in the living room and I was in bed reading so he got up to answer it and I asked him who it was and he looked at me kind of confused and said it was Brett (his friend and former roommate from Sioux City) We were mostly confused because he was calling my phone instead of Zora's. So anyway I got up and went out there while he answered it and he asked me if Amanda (my latest roommate) still talked to Anthony (her ex)? And I was like well I don't know I haven't talked to Amanda since I gave her my last rent check and we didn't talk about him. So Zora continued his conversation with Brett and when he got off the phone I asked him what that was all about and he looked at me kinda funny and he said that apparently Amanda (who is in Sioux City for her sister's graduation at the moment) has been telling people that I have been cheating on Zora since I moved to Ames. Now just so you all know this is COMPLETELY ridiculous, you all know that I would never do anything like that to anyone let alone the guy who it looks like I will spend the rest of my life with. But anyway, she apparently told someone who knew both Zora and I and it spread throughout a bunch of people that he went to high school with including, but not limited to, his ex-girlfriend who he broke up with to be with me. Now I am not one to really get that upset about what people think of me or care that there's a stupid rumor going around that I was unfaithful because both Zora and I know it's not true and that's all that's important really. What I'm really upset about is the fact that Amanda was supposedly one of my "best" friends and I have never done ANYTHING to her to make her want to hurt me intentionally like that. I mean it's competely vindictive and it really upset me that she would do that to me. I have not really had good luck with roommates, my first roommate stole a bunch of my clothes, another one moved out and trashed the place, and now this. I just don't understand how someone can be so intentionally mean for absolutely no reason. So there...I feel a little better getting that off my chest.

My life for the last week

Zora making a peanut butter sandwich on the coffee table in the living room...those were his mom's really nice leather couches that we got from her because she was moving too and needed someone to take them off her hands.
Obviously the kitchen...it's kinda hard to see but the table is a nice round glass one...also from Zora's mom.
This is the 2nd bedroom...I'm standing on the guest bed and that's the fouton to the left.
In response to Sarah's comment about my wierdo neighbors I thought I would at least share the most updated pictures of our new place. We got moved in with all of our furniture last Thursday and have had a week of unemployment to clean it and get settled. I haven't figured out a way to get pictures of our neighbors yet (I swear it's a family of bums that live off of one person who lives in this nice apartment, they even have an old van with a cardboard window) Anyway, I still am jobless, had an interview at Target on Tuesday but I haven't heard anything back from them. Zora, on the other hand, now has two jobs; he's working in the shoe department at JCP which is what he was doing in Sioux City and had an interview this morning at Target and they hired him as an overnite to unload trucks, so he will be working from 10pm until sometime in the early morning hours estimated from 4am-7am. But we're going job hunting for me tomorrow in the morning after he gets back from peeing in a cup at Target.

New apartment

We're on our first full day in our new place...pretty exciting. Everything is cleaned up and put away and we're settling in nicely. Now all that's left is a little shopping. Thought I would show you all some pictures though. Enjoy!
