I am going to try really, really hard not to be a total downer today. Although, I must say, this weather is killing me. Why the $*#& is it still raining?? In MAY? It seems like a lot of people around here are either sick or suffering from prolonged allergies because it just won’t freaking stop raining. Or rather, it will rain for a day or two, brighten up, and then start raining again a few days later. Seriously, wtf? I pay a big fucking premium to live here for a reason, I want my nice weather dammit.
Okay, I’m done with my little spoiled California girl hissy fit. For now.
On a brighter note, it looks like we are inching towards the finish line in this whole real estate purchasing fiasco, and may even close on time! Of course, my dear wonderful husband who has a penchant for shopping like a 16 year old girl who has just been given her first credit card and told to go wild, has discovered Room and Board (and yes, of course, I’m the idiot that introduced him to the store) and we are about to be a whole lot poorer. It’s okay, we don’t need to eat right? We’ll have really high quality console tables instead! And a dining table we don’t have to piece together ourselves with the handy-dandy IKEA tool.
Paul says we are grown ups now and therefore IKEA furniture is no longer acceptable. Apparently being grown up means you have to buy really expensive furniture that weighs so much you can’t possibly move it anywhere without first taking a trip to Home Depot to pick up some help. But R&B has a flat fee for delivery, so really we’re saving money by ordering more. Silly me, I never thought of it that way…
Sigh, I love my husband, but thank God we don’t both shop like women or we’d have to live out of the boxes our furniture comes in.
Aaand, this probably doesn’t qualify as a cheerful post, but it’s the closest I can muster right now. I tried.
