Shopping

So, last night I go to get into bed....but I don't have one. So I head back out to the car to get the air mattress. I set it up to inflate and head to the bathroom to get ready. Check the bed, check the email, shut off all of the lights and then head for bed. No sheets. No pillows. No nothing. By this time I am too tired to truck it back out to the car so I grab the one flat sheet I have already brought in and an ipod pillow I received from the girls at work (though I have no ipod).

Anyhow, I decided that today I am going to get a bed, but don't head out until after one. Did a lot of online scouting and then checked out a few local stores. I felt like I got a sweet deal for a queen size mattress, box spring, frame, scotch guard-y treatment, hypoallergenic water resistant super human mattress pad, and free delivery for about $750. (Mom thinks that I could have found a great bed for about $300. Pretty sure that has not been possible since the invention of the pillow top mattress.)

Then headed off to Best Buy to get a TV. (I HAVE to watch my show tomorrow night. More on that tomorrow, I'm sure.) A very nice gentelman from Iowa helped me out and off I went with a sweet 26" LCD flatscreen. However, I could not get a single soul to help me out in the printer section, so I am going to Circuit City across the street tomorrow. You'd think that I could get service with my new ultra nerdy glasses on.


Needless to say, it was an expensive day, but as I told my dad, I learned that there are a few things you should not go cheap on. Beds, TVs, and Washer/Dryers. Have the washer/dryer (Nikki--it's like DOUBLE the size of the last one!!!) so I just knocked my two big splurges out of my things to do list.

This morning I also set up the security for my wireless router so no one else can steal it. All by my lonesome. Hey, I'm pretty proud here.

As I walked out of Best Buy, the sun was setting. It was gorgeous. I was so afraid that I was not going to be satisfied with the end of the day like I was in NE. I kept remembering in New York and in the Mountains of CO when it went from afternoon straight to evening with no pretty skies. Needless to say, I was satisfied.
