Almost there

Bed… check.
Bookshelves… check.
coffee table and matching end table… check.
Dresser… check.
Dining room table and chairs… check.
 

I’ve spent nearly a thousand dollars in cash over the last few weeks on furniture, but that’s nothing in comparison to the amount that I’d intended on spending. AND everything is exactly what I’d intended to buy in the first place: same color, same brand, same everything. I’ve just been stalking craigslist like a mad woman- checking for updates on my phone almost every hour, contacting people immediately when the things that I’ve been waiting to pop up actually do pop up…

All I have left to buy now is the TV stand! And then maybe some new stuff for the kitchen (I’d like a new set of stainless steel pots and pans and some new dishes. I need a new microwave.). Of course, I’ll be buying all of the kitchen stuff new. 🙂

I am so excited to get everything all set up in the new place. I really wish that the landlord guy would call us to give us a time frame for when we’ll be able to move in, though- it’s really hard to organize a move in day when you don’t know when you’re moving. I hope that we’ll be able to find a U-haul on such short notice- he said we’d be in by June 1st at the absolute latest.

I don’t want to work today. 🙁

I’m helping Dave move into his new place on Tuesday afternoon. It should be a fun day- it’s going to be me, Clint, Dave, and Dave’s dad… after we help him move Clint, me, and Dave are going to spend the afternoon wandering around his new neighborhood- drinking bloody marys and sitting in the sun (assuming that the weather cooperates, that is. It should be fun.).

Speaking of Dave, I’ve had the most wonderful couple of weeks with him! I feel like things are the best that they’ve been in probably about a year (speaking of which- yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of the day that we moved in together… can you believe it?). We’re just so… happy. And comfortable. And we can talk and talk and talk and talk and laugh and joke and fuck and cuddle and go out and show affection and there is no holding back. It’s been so wonderful. No word yet on whether or not this is due to it being the end of winter or the start of my ‘shining, happy, skinny person pills’. Maybe a bit of both? I just feel so much better and that seems to have rubbed off onto Dave and our relationship in general and it’s fantastic.

Anyway, I want to sleep a little bit more before work. Or at least lay in bed and reflect upon how good everything is going.

I’m out!
