apartment shmartment.......Arggg!!!

I have never been so frustrated trying to get into an apartment as I have been theses past few weeks. Scott and I are trying to get into this place in Happy Valley that my mom said are the best she found when she went out looking for us. Well..... it has not been fun. First they had to fax over the applications and when we got them you couldn't read a thing on them, so my mom had to read the questions to me over the phone and we filled them out. Then they told us we had to have guaranteed jobs. My boss called the Outback in Portland and the mgr. there said I would be able to transfer but when the apartment called to check he told them something different. Ok whatever, so then Friday the owner called and now I'm guaranteed a job, But Scott doesn't. They told us we either had to have jobs or $7500 in the bank. All they have to do is look at my credit and rental history, I have never payed rent late and I always pay my bills on time. Plus I have have worked for the same company for 9 1/2 years and we pay 3 times the rent now then they charge there. Do I really seem like someone that will rent an apartment and not pay for it? I don't want to ruin my credit. I understand they have to cover their on butts, but seriously, I have never had this problem, even when I was 19 getting my very first place. Ok, I'm done, I had to get it out. I'm sure everything will work out in the end it always does. Now on to a more exciting topic. Aren't these shoes amazing? There the Poetic Licence 'Check Mate' Flat and their available at Nordstrom's for only $64.95. I think I just found what I'm going to spend my Nordy's gift card that my dad bought me 2 Christmas's ago on. I have so much green in my wardrobe so these will fit in perfectly. I really do love a good flat.

And look at these........very nice right? I found these shoes via meesh . You can find them at
Le Train Bleu and to my happy surprise is located in Portland, very cool huh? I'm defiantly going to visit this store when I get there.
Today I went to loehman's and found some very cool stuff. I had never been there and had been planning on going to the Nordstrom Rack today but a friend told me about this place. I finally found a good pair of (Joe's) jeans that I have been in desperate need of and they were $100 cheaper then normal. Of course the closest one to Portland is about 3 hours away in Bellvue Wa. so I guess it will become a stop at the frequent Seattle trips we will soon be having.

Ok this is kinda off the subject but I found these cute little birds at Ann Wood Handmade and thought they were so adorable I just had to post them.
