TOO MANY CHANGES
Ok, so I have keys in my pocket for a new apartment. I've signed the lease, they've finished painting, and I've purchased an airbed. It would seem that I am ready to go. HOWEVER, when I went to pick up my keys, a friend who has been apartment hunting as of late viewed one of my landlord's other available units. It's GORGEOUS; 12 ft. vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors throughout, terra-cotta tile in the kitchen, HUGE living room, and a total of 10 very tall arched windows, and it's in an old brick plantation style mansion. Now, don't get me wrong, I loved the apartment I signed a lease for. But this apartment is just heels over pantyhose above and beyond what I would expect for the price. SO, we're changing my lease, and I'm splitting the huge 2 bedroom unit with my friend. So far we have written down 23 house rules to ease our transition into urban cohabitation. A couple of these rules may seem a little ridiculous to most people. But he and I are slightly neurotic and they make perfect sense to us, lol. Here are a couple of the more entertaining ones:
*No health or beauty products are to be left out in plain sight in the bathroom unless there is a house consensus on the attractiveness of said products' packaging.
*No hard-heeled or hard-soled shoes are to be worn on the wood floors for any amount of time longer than is necessary to lace them and exit the apartment.
*A weekly chore list will be agreed upon and posted on the refrigerator each Sunday. Any chores left undone by a roommate will become that person's responsibility for the following two weeks so that they may gain aptitude to the task they found so difficult to accomplish.
Are we nuts? Lemme know what you think! :)

Don't think you're weird, I'd do the same thing.
Guidelines, not gospel, kitten.
