Deposit

Carriage Cove made me pay a $200 deposit when I signed my contract to live there. When I moved out this is how much I got back:

Carpet fee (per contract) -$35.00
Re-hang closet doors-$10.00
Check-out cleaning-$50.00
Trash hauled out-$30.00
Bricks divided x 3- $25.00
Sofa removed divided x 3-20.00

If you do the math you can see that I got $30.00 back!

Yep, that's THIRTY dollars!!

The closet doors weren't on when I moved in, the "sofa" is a chair that a previous roommate left in the apartment. The cinder that were in my room I moved out, the remaining ones I believe where in the apartment when I moved in, along with a bunch of other crap.

I expected to be charged for not doing my cleaning check and for them hauling out trash, because I wasn't going to haul out stuff that wasn't mine. It's not even worth it to go talk to them about the closet doors.

Never having to deal with Carriage Cove and their money hungry ways-PRICELESS!!!!

Blogging about blogging about blogging about...

So I have been helping get everything ready for the Summer Reading Program at the Provo Library (sign-ups for the program begin June 1st and the program runs until July 31st all you need to sign-up is a Provo Library Card). I have been calling up sponsors and helping with the activities for the Teen portion of the program. I have been especially working on a blog that we are going to use for the Teen program. You can check it out here. Since this is the centennial for the library in Provo we are doing a time travel theme. I have learned a lot about the past 100 years in working on this project. It's going to be a fun summer, so you should all sign-up for the Summer Reading Program!

Pedometer

2,000 steps=1 mile

I've walked 47,440 steps in the past 4 days. That equals 23 miles.

I'm doing this as part of a wellness challenge sponsered by BYU. But mostly I just wanted the pedometer! It's really fun tracking how many steps I walk in a day! The goal is to get 800,000 steps between May 1 and August 25.
