My Summer Adventure

So I am trying to go to Charleston for the summer. I figure that this is the first summer in 5 years that I have been single so why not do something super fun and different! Yes single! (That's another story) Anyway I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Charleston (see post here), and my best friend just happens to be working there until September. She will only be there during the week, but it will be nice to at least know one person to do stuff with. I'm on my own on the weekends though. 


 I've already found someone to sublease my apartment in Houston. Now I am just working on finding an apartment in Charleston. It would be a lot easier if I wasn't so picky. There are so many ads out needing a roommate, but I want to live alone. 

The first reason that I want to live alone is my dogs. I do not trust some random stranger to be left alone with my 2 babies. Yes, right now that is what they are to me. I would be devastated if a stranger did something to them or even accidentally let them out and they ran away. I've heard HORROR stories about things that roommates have done to other roommate's pets! 

The second reason that I want to live alone is that I have numerous people that want to come and visit me. I want my mom to come and stay with me for a week as well as other friends/family members. I don't want to feel bad because I am constantly having guests over. I also don't want my guests to feel like they are imposing upon these strange roommates.


Number three, I have lived alone for 2 years. I am used to being able to do what I want and when I want. I want to be able to cook when I want, lay on the couch when I want, etc. I don't feel like I would be comfortable living in a house with strangers. It would be one thing if it was one of my close friends, but that is not the case.


Maybe I am being picky. Maybe I am not adventurous enough. If it comes down to it and all I can find is a place with a roommate, I am sure I will take it. When I stop to think about it, living with other girls would be an immediate way to make friends. BUT what if we don't get along?  Charleston is also a college town and I have no desire to live with college aged kids that party all night long in the living room! That would be a miserable 2 months! I am going to try my hardest to find a one bedroom place. We will see how it works out. 


Here is my ad on Craigslist. If you know of any thing that would fit the criteria, let me know!


I sure hope I can go to Charleston for those 2 months. I would love to be so close to the beach all summer! I also want to take weekend trips to Charlotte and Savannah. This blog may turn into "My Adventures in Charleston" and I will LOVE it!

Who wants to come to visit me???
