So, I’ve been in Lithuania for 2 full days and the one thing I know is that I don’t have a clue about anything that’s going on. When I first walked into my apartment I was pleasantly surprised, but also caught off guard. I’m going to try to paint a picture for you by explaining my apartment in detail.
To start things off, everything is painted in bright colors, I guess they are trying to compensate for the lack of sunshine and good weather. My kitchen cabinets are highlighter orange, and grey, so that was a lil strange. My kitchen chairs are burnt orange. (I think they were trying to have the chairs match the cabinets but failed) My couch in the living room is burnt orange and brown, so maybe they were trying to have the furniture match. I have a tan lazy boy so I guess the furniture matching idea was not correct. The entertainment system is really nice; I have a good size flat screen TV and about 8 different American channels. (I hear that’s a lot) The walls are regular orange and yellow. (If you’re wondering, yes I am living in a crayon box)
Oops I forgot to mention that there is a plant in the living room. Looks like a large bonsai, and I don’t know what they expect me to do with that. I know I’m not going to water it weekly, or monthly for that matter. I definitely didn’t inherit my Snook’s (Snook = mom and that’s the last time I’m going to tell you all) green thumb.
The bathroom is simple, I have a toilet (duh) and one of those things you’re supposed to sit in front of so that water can spray on your butt. I hope I explained that right, well if not, that’s my explanation of what it does. And no, I don’t use it, that’s too “Euro” for me: I’ll just stick with toilet tissue.
My bedroom just has a bed, closet, and two stands on each side of the bed. Those walls are painted pale lime green. You know what, now that I think about it, maybe they tried to personalize this apartment for me because my two favorite colors are burnt orange and lime green. That’s cute if that’s the case.
(Oh by the way, I’m listening to Robin Thicke right now as I’m typing, he’s on my favorites)
Ok so now where was I? Oh the guest room/computer room. The walls are yellow, there’s a desk, futon (blue and yellow), and computer chair (navy blue). At this point, I don’t think they are trying to have things match. Maybe there was a sale at IKEA or something. : )
All the floors are hardwood except for the bathroom is tiled and the kitchen has the material that all kitchens have, you know what that is right?
Welp that’s everything, but I’m in the process of remodelling. I’m getting things to make the apartment more homely.
When I first got here, I deep cleaned everything (It was dirty, I just like to clean it on my own) and that was no fun, but now I actually am enjoying this remodelling.
Ahh mann, you know what I just thought? I should’ve taken before and after pictures. That would’ve been nice to see. Ahh well, it’s too late now because I’ve already thrown lots of stuff away and replaced it.
Within the next couple of months I am going to get a video camera so that I can give you a real tour of my apt and take you with me when I am out and about. For instance, my supermarket experience and first practices were, how can I put this, umm “unique.” But I’ll have to talk about that in the next blog because I’m sure you’re tired of reading by now.
Happiness is what you make it. So, as always, I’m going to make the best of this situation. Until next time…… Be blessed.
