The joys of homeownership = $$
Nov. 27th, 2006 08:35 amOh my god, I don't know if I've ever willingly lived in such a pit in all of my life. We can't even really do much in the way of unpacking until we get all of the furniture together so we have somewhere to PUT it all. Argh! I suppose I need to start on some of the hanging clothes, at least, just to get some of the boxes out of the way. Or maybe the kitchen. But I have no idea where we're planning to put stuff, except on this new big table thing we bought for the kitchen that will probably be a lifesaver in terms of storing pots and pans.
We drove down to New Haven (gah, what a pit) to spend far too much money at IKEA. I mean, the amount scares me a little bit. But not too much to not peek at baby furniture for, you know, sometime. But I've never spent 4digits at a store before. We managed to score a couch, a coffee table, that thing for the kitchen, and an entire bedroom set, among other things. Now we just have to put all the frickin' things together. After they are delivered, of course. (We had to deliver the couch, and then we learned that it is the same price for up to 15 items, so umm, yeah, we told them to pretty much take all of it.)
It's kind of fun living out in the country but I really need to get cracking with the job search. I probably should wait until we have real, reliable internet (no offense, Jim) but I need to get on that ASAP. Being a grownup is HARD!
I know most of you are all back at work today, so I will think of you while I lounge around the house. In my mess of boxes and piles and disaster.
p.s. Is everyone getting LJ comments e-mailed to them? Is it just me who is not?
