Well, not sure it’s time to change quite yet, but we shall soon see. After 7 years of living in my current apartment as a renter, I have just received the news that the building management company wants to sell the unit. This could mean one of several things. First, that I buy it from them, second, that I buy something else in the neighborhood (where I have lived for 13 years), or finally, that I buy something in another neighborhood (most likely Brooklyn). I’m in the process of assessing my finances and getting a sense of the real estate market, but this whole thing is freaking me out quite a bit. On one hand, the concept of moving to Brooklyn is overwhelming, not to mention buying an apartment here, there or anywhere (when did I become a grownup?!?). On the other hand, change might be exactly what I need to shake things up a bit.
That said, the Apartment Therapy project is somewhat on hold for now, with the exception of continuing to clean out my crap, buying myself flowers, and entertaining people now and again.
The other major change that I’m not sure I’m ready for? Giving up my fantabulous home phone number (which I’m not sharing here, but it is very catchy). I don’t think they’ll let me take it to Brooklyn. Will keep you all posted . . .

How fortunate for you that you have good friends in the Real Estate business. I’m sure they will gather around to give you some assistance with your dilemma. Especially if you provide the wine!

Good luck.. as your Mom says, having friends who work in the industry will certainly help you.

Being the “Queen of Moving” (I’m in the process of moving back to Long Island this week…move number 8 in 5 years), it can certainly change things up and uproot things in both positive and negative ways. Either way, good luck and enjoy the ride!

Get Vonage while you’re in your current place. They’ll let you keep your phone number when you move.
