We bought a new couch and loveseat. I won’t go into the whole never-buy-from-value-city-furniture spiel, but trust me, you don’t want to. So after 3 years of pure shit as a couch, we went to Bob’s Discount Furniture. :) Now, before you go all, “Why are buying discount furniture?” let me explain. We’ve done the Seaman’s thing. We’ve gone the regular furniture store, and we’ve done Jennifer Convertibles. Furniture stores around us are available, but the prices for what they are selling — well we’ve been burned and I refuse to spend that much money again. So we did some research and asked around and we went the Bob’s route. ;)
Let me just say – wow. When we got there (in the pouring rain!) it was mobbed. There had to be about 50 sales people on the floor. The store was packed. They truly had beautiful furniture at great prices. We knew the set we were going in for, so our sales rep (who greeted us at the front door, lol) showed us right to it. It was perfect. It came in a bunch of colors (which would take 4-6 weeks) but luckily the color we liked (sage) was available in 3-4 days. :) We saw another couch (cheap) for the playroom that turns into a full size bed (or you can do twin, queen king, but fill fits better). We’ll be adding that to the order if we can measure before delivery sets out.
I can’t believe I won’t be embarrassed to have people come over anymore! PLUS we’ll have a couch, loveseat and ottoman. Right now we have a couch and a chair. Bleh.
So after the running around with that, we hit up Costco where I got a cute wrought iron coffee cup holder with 6 coffee cups. Yay. :) Can never have too many coffee cups.
The low point of the day was when I went to the dermatologist this morning. I’ve been having an issue with a tiny cyst on my outer ear cartilage. It kills me with pain with the slightest touch. I’ve had it injected once before, but it still hurts. Well, it turns out it’s not a cyst, but something or other that is inflammation of the ear cartilage. AND — it’s rare (very rare, as in they never see it) in someone under the age of 50. I’m 30! Can you imagine what I’ll be like at 50?! :( I was really upset with this. I can’t remember what they called it so I can’t look it up (and really, I tried, but lots of icky things came up — none of which is what I have). I have to go back on the 13th of December and if it’s not better, they may have to remove it. Uhm, I don’t want to even KNOW what that entails because really – how do you remove something on cartilage without removing cartilage? And I don’t have big ears either, so there isn’t much to take away! :(
Sigh. Ok. Enough whining. I suppose it could be a ton worse. I suppose.
YAY on the furniture! HUGS about the ear! Hope it gets better so you don’t have to have it removed.
LOl Thanks Wendy! :)
