So living in New York is expensive...everybody knows that.  What we are learning here is that in order to save money, all you have to do is just stay in your apartment all the time!  Unless you have to leave it for work or auditions.  Since this is our mindset, we are thoroughly enjoying our apartment. 

We made our own popcorn!  Well really Maria made popcorn...I was too scared to do it!  It was actually really good and we have a huge bag of it that would probably last us two weeks.  A diet of just popcorn?  Ok.

The doorbell rang and in walks a Poland Spring employee saying that the man downstairs told him to come up to our apartment and install this wonderful water cooler.  All three of us had no idea what was happening but we welcomed the idea!  We were so excited to have this new addition until the doorbell rang later that afternoon.  It appears the water cooler belongs to our landlord's son.  He had to come and get it and take away our present.  Oh well...at least we enjoyed it for a couple of hours!
