Casa Kemppi is open for visitors!

So the move was a week ago and I still have few things to put into place but overall I've settled in. Furniture is in place, kitchen is done and bedroom is getting there. This is really cool apartment and I'm so happy I got it. It's weird being alone and having so much room but I'm sure I will get used to it. Now I just need a job and everything would be...ok.

As I've ben unpacking my stuff I've noticed how much I dragged with me to USA. And it's awesome to notice how much I invested in our life together. We bought stuff for our kitchen that is now in Brooklyn probably gathering dust un-used. We bought a whole set of towels and I'm realizing I have 2 sets here. We bought sheets and I'm realizing I don't have any here. I had to get an under sheet from my mom because I didn't have any. Picture frames, coasters, little niknaks...all there. And let's not forget about my clothes! This would be a great situation for a shopaholic if I had money to go buy new stuff. But I don't so I am trying to get by with what little I have and hopefully be able to go get mine from BK soon. But hey, I can't really mess up the place because there's not much stuff to displace!

I thought my interview went well and for once my unemployment might be working FOR me instead of against me. Work is waiting for someone to do it and they want the person to start ASAP. I told them I could have started last Wednesday. And my education and experience from the environmental companies in Forssa should come in handy. BUT, I haven't heard anything yet. The last day to apply was on Tuesday, the day I interviewed so they might be interviewing more people next week. But I feel quite confident about this.  Forssa isn't necessarily my first choice but there's nothing waiting for me out there in the big wide world now so I might as well settle down for a few and regroup. And the job seems very exciting and challenging. Earlier this fall I did say I would slash my wrists if I was still in Forssa on my 31st birthday so I might have to take that back. If I'm unemployed by my 31st b-day, then all bets are off!

Arttu gave me his PS2 and I was playing some Guitar Hero yesterday. Same game I had for WII so I know the songs...I think he has 2 or 3 different so I can learn new ones as well. The bad thing about it though is that it gives me a tunnel vision. Afterwards for awhile it affects my line of vision and I need to chill.

I had to go exchange my last dollars today. Interests for my loans need to be paid on the 15th and I have to have 900 euros on my account and I was little short so it had to be done. It's sad but what can you do?

I went to Euromarket's clearance sale today with a list of things I needed for my apartment...my list was shorten by 1 item and I couldn't find the other stuff. But I came home with 2 bags of stuff! I bought food which was 20% off so that's good but the other stuff just wanted to come home with me. And I bought some make up. If I really am single (yikes) I guess I should at some point put myself out there. Not any time soon but I should be ready, right? Be prepared? Although putting myself out there in Forssa is probably a waste of time, money, energy and effort. Sigh...I don't wanna be single.

I will leave you with this depressing topic. I had more on my mind while I was out but can't remember what it was anymore. Getting old I guess.

You are all welcome to come see my new place. Just call first so that I will know you are coming and can make sure you are not some fee collector. Cuz I might or might not have paid a fee that's required by law and I don't want anyone knocking on my door or more specifically I don't want to open the door for a collector so if I don't know you are coming, I won't open my door! And that would just suck now wouldn't it?

Have a great weekend and go buy bags from my mom at the x-mas market this weekend! Later
