the furniture purchasing continues unabated. i went to cost plus today and spent enough money to choke several large monkeys. a few baboons and maybe a silverback. i just waved my card around and acted non-chalant about it, but i was sweating inside. i had to squeeze my socks out when i got home.
anyway. i got a dining room table. and two chairs. i would have gotten two benches to go along with it, but i'm not entirely convinced as to the ergonomics of benches. doesn't matter, really, as i'm only gonna invite one person over at a time anyway.
i also bought a bed frame. i've been told that i'm dumber than a bag full of hammer handles. the reason for this is that while i have purchased the frame, i have not yet purchased a mattress or box spring, and continue to sleep on a sleeping bag on the floor. frankly, the whole mattress buying thing kinda scares me. it's an irrational sort of fear, sort of like being afraid of glass, or elbows. i acknowledge the usefulness of these things, but the sheer, terror-inducing VOLUME OF OPTIONS makes me gibber a bit with fear. yes, GIBBER. try working that one into your thesis.
anyway, the stuff should be delivered within the next few days, as should my tv and dvd player. and i'm picking the couch and chair up over the weekend. the long and short of it is that i will have a place to put things on, and things to sit on. as soon as i get over to the mattress store with its ghastly panoply of bouncy wares, i should have something to lay on top of, too.

i wish i could go shopping with you. i love the home decor thing, but i'm sure your tastes are better than mine. i'd have you buying pink fluffy faux fur coated longe chairs and maybe some bondage tables and what not to be used as make-shift dining tables and things. that would impress the guests.
Now where is that couch.
Did you remeber to reserve the truck??
