Thursday<\/b> I spent the evening out with two former coworkers, one of which I haven’t seen in over a year. We met at her house to have dinner. She made us some yummy lasagna. Afterwards, I drove us all to the local mall (the same mall that will be MY local mall once we move) to do some ceramic painting. I made this<\/a> for one of the bathrooms in our new place. I want to have an ocean theme. After painting, we went back to our friend’s place to have dessert. By the time I got home, it was after 10 pm and I was exhausted. I just cannot do the social thing on weeknights. Call me old, but it’s just too tiring.<\/p>\n

Case in point, Friday<\/b> Joe and I just hung out at home and did laundry. Saturday<\/b> was more fun as we did some shopping. We bought a bunch of supplies for stripping the wallpaper in the new place, as well as for painting the walls. In addition, I picked up this awesome cd rack<\/a> at The Container Store. It holds 360 cds and I was a bit shocked to see I own that many. I knew it was around 300, but I wasn’t aware it was over that. I like how it looks having all my cds in one place instead of spread between the bookshelf and the rotating cd holder I had before. It also frees up the bookcase for more dvd storage.<\/p>\n

Today<\/b> we did some more shopping and found the sectional we may be buying. I can’t decide, though, because I really liked the idea of a plum-colored couch, but this one<\/a> is so comfy. It’s really cool – The left side reclines and the right side is a sleeper sofa, plus each side has a space to store remotes and one back cushion folds down for use as a drink holder. It’s on sale until mid-September, plus the place will hold it for free until we move so we can get the sale price, so we have time to think about it. I’m so indecisive about these things!<\/p>\n

I feel like we’ve been spending money like water lately. It’s all being spent on things we need and were planning on buying anyway, but it feels weird to be spending so much in such a small time frame. We dropped over $150 at Walmart over the weekend with all the supplies, plus decorative items for the kids’ bathroom (I’m doing a rubber ducky theme). It’s so fun getting new things, though. I went to Micheal’s and got a very cute Harvest-themed welcome sign for our new front door as well as some notepads on clearance for my obsessive list-making. I still need to order some things online, not to mention we need bedroom furniture and a dining room table. Moving is expensive when you have more space than furniture. Not that I’m complaining. I need space; I’m suffocating over here!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
