single living is expensive (but so is marriage)

currently listening to: The Decemberists-The Crane Wife

now that i have a good paying job its time to move out of my parents basement/swinging bachelor pad so i started looking a week or so ago and found this place:

http://www.apartments.com/summary.aspx?page=summary&property=120497.2&am1=0&am22=0&am23=0&am24=0&am28=0&am39=0&am49=0&area3=y&city=merriam&lid=overview_tab%2ccommunity_tab%2cmap_tab&onebdrm=1&rent_maximum=600&rent_minimum=300&rgn1=80&srt1=0.33&srt2=0.65&srt3=0.74&ss=1&state=ks&studio=1&subarea1=y&zip=66202&level=7&prvpg=20&lid=Overview_Tab

it fits exactly what i want- close to work (about 14 miles, which is half of my drive now) decent size studio/1bed, washer/dryer IN-unit, garaged parking, $600/rent or less.  getting all 4 of those things was not an easy find but here it is.

drew up a budget and man its not cheap overall.  however, the actual moving out expense really only adds about $750/mo (rent+bills) to what i’m spending right at the moment.

total though, with rent, bills(gas/elec/cell/cable/internet), car pmt, car ins/taxes, gas, groceries, and entertainment, it comes to about $1900/mo!  ouch.

so i’ll go ahead and put out a feeler for a career driven, independent woman with no strong desire for children or pets to help share bills with.  i prefer short and petite with similar interests that is clean and organized.  email your resume with photo to ksufan19 at yahoo dot com.
