I've never liked raising my voice, and I'm sure the neighbors don't appreciate it either, but it's easier to raise my voice to talk to the S.O. than it is to walk over to where he is sitting. I'm having trouble training myself out of this habit, and it's only been a little while.
Having two bathrooms means purchasing twice the toilet paper because I get paranoid when I see only half the expected stock-pile of extra rolls under the sink.

Living Large
This is an experiment in large-scale living.
Yup, you read that right.
My first place was a 400 sq. ft. studio--which might sound expansive to those of you tuning in from NYC, but in the suburbs surrounding Seattle some homeowners have bathrooms larger than that. When I move into the city proper, my student-sized budget again limited my housing options and my S.O. (significant other) and I ended up in a 520 sq. ft. one-bedroom.
So while I've been a proponent of small-scale living for most of my adult life, I have embraced living small without any idea of what it feels like to live large. This year I will change that. This blog will chronicle my experiences of living in a two-story, two-bedroom, two-bath 1300 sq. ft. apartment for 365 days. Will I like it? I don't know. More importantly, will I go back to small space living after this year is over? I think so, but we'll see how I feel eight-months from now. I might become addicted to closet space, after all. Stranger things have happened.
