Shopping Weekend!
This weekend was a shopping weekend. I'm officially CUT OFF from shopping once I pick up my new couch and the coffee table (that I have a rain check for). We went to this special area in Austin called: "Furniture Row" where I was able to buy a Scratch and Dent item couch. It was a good price, and the only problem with it is that it has a tiny run on the underside of one cushion. I figured for $100 off, it was worth it. :-) But it's really cute. it's blue denim, with blue and white piping. The pillows match the piping, as well as 2 additional flowered pillows (Which will soon be covered with better fabric because the flowers are kind of ugly).
My friend from work, Erin, has kindly volunteered to take me in her truck (Nissan X-Terra) to pick up my couch Wednesday during lunch, and move it with me into the apartment! I'm so excited. Once the couch is in, I can start my decorating :-)))) So my apartment should look pretty cute for my sister, Jake, and Seymen's visit this coming weekend!
I also bought sheets for the new air mattress for Chrissy and Jake, and my last - but MOST IMPORTANT purchase - was a new Monopoloy game. The requirement (Set by Chrissy) was that I buy another version (At home we have the Anniversary edition, and the millineium edition). I found at ToysRUs, the "Train" Version. It comes in a tin canister, and everything is shaped like trains, and there's little drawings on the houses and hotels :-) The monopoloy tournament will commence on Friday, Septemeber 3rd at 10:00pm! :-) (I heard from my other co-worker Steph today, that there's a version called: <a href="http://www.dogopoly.com/dog/main.htm">Dogopoloy</a>, which is all dogs! That will be the next purchase of Monopoloy when maybe Chrissy moves to S. Carolina in January :-)
