The Good and The Bad: Home addition

In previous posts I have alluded to the fact that I have an interesting and somewhat unorthodox living situation. Coming home after a weekend in LA made me realize that I am not that happy with my living situation and I might need to start looking for a new place. Sigh, in the last 5 year I have moved 8 times and I am starting to feel like I will never feel "at home" again.

The Basics:
I live in a 5 bedroom house with 4 other individuals in the Mission district in San Francisco. Brandon and I share to two adjoining which we have divided into a living room and bedroom.

The Players:

Roommate 1: a 30 something woman who works for a nonprofit during the day and artist by night.
Roommate 2: a woman in her late 20's.  Anarchist, MFA student and all around interesting individual.

Roommate 3:  40 something man who lives and works in LA as a lawyer during the week and lives in our smallest room during the weekends. e
Roommate 4: By far my favorite of the bunch, Brandon.  29yr PhD Bio Development student at Stanford by day, amazing boyfriend (most of the time) by night.

The Bad:
ONE BATHROOM FOR 5 PEOPLE ... 3 OF WHICH ARE WOMEN!!!!! One Kitchen which is ALWAYS dirty (I day dream about having my own kitchen and all the wonderful food I would cook in it), and last but not least no storage.

The Good:
Cheap rent (very rare in San Francisco), GREAT location, library across the street, and I get to live with Brandon.

I can't help but thinking the following: Do the goods out way the bads?  Will I be able to stay sane living like this?  Should I stay or should I go???

Bad: The Curious Case of Missing Leggings
The other day I was late for work because I wasted too much time trying to figure out what to wear.  I was planning on wearing my black leggings but when I went to grab them they were gone!  I remember washing them, folding them, putting them away,so where could they be? I went through my entire closet and laundry basket but no leggings were found.  So now I am on a mission to find my missing article of clothing. Thankfully I spent my childhood reading defective novels so I will have no problem tapping into my inner Nancy Drew and solving this mystery. So far I have two theories:


1.)  I have a "unique" living situation (more on that in a later post) and have two girl roommates.  One has a fondness for black clothing and the other is in serious need of new pants.  Hmmmmm, I wonder.....
2.) Brandon did a small portion of our laundry the other day and he has a tendency to lose misplace things so it is entirely possible that he knows where the leggings are.


Keep your fingers crossed that I figure it out soon. 

Good: Found Puppy Pictures
On the upside, while frantically looking for my leggings I found my old computer which contained a number of picture of Ruby and CoCo. Of course I have to share.

I know, I know cutest pups ever.
