That’s a Crapload of Furniture August 25, 2006
Today was our big shopping expedition day, and man did we do some damage. Good thing we have practice handing over large sums of money after going through all of our cycles.
We purchased things for several rooms:
-A table and chairs for the breakfast area
-A table and chairs for the dining room
-A desk for Dan’s office
-A sofa and matching chair along with a leather chair and ottoman for the living room
-A coffee table and end tables for the living room
I think that’s plenty for one day’s work. We had most of it picked out ahead of time, so it didn’t take too long to walk into the various stores and hand over our credit card.
Some of the stuff was in stock and some will have to be ordered. As nice as it would be to get it all right away, it will be fun to have new stuff arrive every week or so for the next month.
There’s not too much going on right now besides the house stuff. I am most definitely getting spoiled by the fact that Dan is taking time off from work. I love having him home. Unfortunately, we’ve got to pay for all of this house stuff somehow so he’ll have to head back to the firm a week from Tuesday. Don’t think I won’t be enjoying the heck out of our time together until then, though. I know what kind of hours he’ll be working once he starts back.

Squee! I love new furniture! Of course I don’t love paying for it, either. I hope we can see pictures once the various rooms are assembled.
I love shopping for furniture (I don’t love paying for it, though)!
Congrats on the new home/ furniture. Pictures would be great! Show off some of the new goods. :-)
Life sounds so amazing for you right now. I am glad that you are finally getting the happiness you deserve.
Can’t wait to see pics once you get everything in place!! Enjoy this next week sweetie. Hugs! Thinking about you!
Good work on the furniture shopping! When we moved, it took us forever to find stuff we liked. We were sitting on lawn furniture in our kitchen for a month! And the fun aspect of furniture shopping got old pretty fast as we spent every single weekend going from one store to another. We finally found a few stores we liked and managed to get our house furnished. The style in most of these Orlando stores near was just not our taste!
Glad you’re enjoying some time with Dan before he starts working the long hours!
