My Labor Day Weekend...
Was full of buying and moving furniture!!! I am sore, I am a bit tired, I am behind on my homework... I AM SO IN LOVE!!!
This is the first time I've ever had a place of my own - my own furniture, my decision on how to decorate COMPLETELY, my name on a lease... That part is just a little strange. And, it is everything I was hoping for: cozy, comfortable, spacious, random and FUN! I spent three weeks looking for a house with hardwood floors; then found a carpeted apartment one Thursday, signed the lease on Tuesday and moved the first parts of the furniture in the Thursday after I found it. I spent weeks looking for furniture, including The Scary Trip to THE IKEA!!! I thought I wanted a red couch and kept looking for them; I found the softest light army green couch and love seat at 9:15 Moving Day morning... and had bought them by 11:00 for a third of the price as New Red Couch! My whole apartment has come together by the grace of my best friends and Craigslist for the price of one couch and chase lounge!
AND IT LOOKS LIKE AN IKEA AD!!!
The icing on the cake for my Wonderfully Soft, Plush, Comfort Zone of Happiness is the purchase of my new Shaggy Bag - I have wanted one for the past year (the first time I sat on one). However, I could not afford to buy a "bean bag" for the $400 price tag on my budget... so when I found one on craigslist for less than half the price, I jumped on it. Quite literally: once I got it into my apartment last night, I took a running plunge onto it! It's wonderful!
I feel like such a grown up right now - but still a silly and fun-loving one. It's good to know that doesn't have to go! Of course, I should be studying for my Biostats quiz and am, instead, blogging... Time to go do grown-up-type things...
