THIS could be my new home!!!

It's not a purchase (still renting, unfortunately), but it overlooks the Hudson and has western exposure, which means, SUNSETS EVERYDAY! In New York, seeing a sunset from your house (when you don't make uber-cash) is like seeing a shooting star. rare, RARE occurrence. Saw this gem, and will be working on poking/prodding the boyfriend to let me live here. He claims it's too expensive but it's HISTORICAL; it's got a FIREPLACE AND it's in a really beautiful neighborhood. And he got to pick last time, and we're still regretting that decision--I strongly believe in investing in your place of residence. Saving a buck is fine, but NOT when it comes to shoes or living in a second-rate apartment building. I hate moving....but this place is so worth it.

Any thoughts?






and thanks for the well wishes, all!

no, not moving to Europe(dammit!); at least not yet. need to brush up on my french skills first, as i'm not too gung-ho about living in England.

but going for a while around xmas-new year's.
my birthday is new year's day, so it seemed like a grand idea to visit France and England and perhaps Sweden while there for 2 weeks, but going for new year's to a country where i'm not totally fluent in the language and i don't know anyone seemed a little lame. any ideas on what to do while there?
