So we've been window shopping for the last week and that's about all we can do for awhile. Buying this house is going to cost us a bunch in the first place, but everything else we'll need will add up pretty quick too. As of right now we still need to purchase , shower rods and curtains, a washer and dryer, lawnmower, microwave, spare bed or sleeper sofa for my Mom to sleep on when she comes down for Thanksgiving and maybe some kind of rain barrel so I can water our young trees with the crazy ass drought down here. And that's only the relatively absolute needs. We could use matching dining room chairs since we now have a dining room, and a bunch of other things like an outdoor grill and chairs, miscellaneous tables and furniture, and a shitload of groceries since we have nada. We're going to be extremely poor for the next few months which sucks, but having a house will be worth it, eventually. We've set up an online gift registry at Crate and Barrel and a couple of other places, not for people to actually buy things for us, but solely so we can get the 20% discount to "complete" our registry after our "event" We're doing the normal scouring craigslist and will be visiting goodwill and the like, but its a bit harder being 10 miles out of the city in the burbs. It's like living in Maple Grove and everything is in Bloomington or St Paul and we don't have a truck...
We'll figure it out...
