Friday, I moved the bulk of my stuff from my parents house to my place… I’ll be unpacking, arranging, moving, setting up, building and organizing everything over the next week or so. Then I need to head back to get all my stuff that I left behind. Thank god I’m not in a rush or else I’d have wall-to-wall boxes of mostly stuff I don’t want or need.

The living room couch came on Friday. Of course, being alotted the time slot of 12 noon to 5 PM, they showed up at 4:45 PM… Took them less than 10 mins to bring the couch in. Pretty amazing. It looks great except one of the recliners wont lock back down, so they’re going to have a technician call me during the week to schedule a repair/replacement.

I also broke my entertainment center trying to move it 😉 I actually broke 2 screws right in half. Can you believe it! I’ll have to fix that once I clean out the room.

I also have to mount the projector and screen. So much to do!

My livingroom couch will be arriving tomorrow. I’m excited because that will give me the means to finish my livingroom finally. The bedroom, kitchen and bathroom have all come out great (see pics if you haven’t already). I’ll try to get pics of the bathroom, but it’s a small room and it’s gard to get a good shot of it.

To make it easier on me tomorrow, I’m staying here tonight! It’s my first night in my new place. I brought over all my PC and Home Theatre stuff.. so I have the TiVo hooked up temporarily in my room. Gotta have something to watch now that I’m here.. right! 🙂

Also got my projector screeen in the mail today. It’s gonna be a bitch to hang, but well worth it!

I started taking pictures:

So people ask me quite often why, if I own my own place, have I not moved out of my parents yet? Some have even felt that I am afraid of being on my own. I’ve thought about this, and thats not it either. I actually want to move out pretty badly, but I think the biggest thing holding me back is convenience.

All my *Stuff* is still here. Sure, I’m moving it over gradually, but one thing I do fear is moving all my shit there and then having to go through infinite boxes searching for my stuff… Knowing me, and with my busy schedule, I’ll never get around to unpacking everything. The saying, It’s easier to keep it clean than get it clean holds double with me. If I let it get too bad, I’ll lose the drive to keep it, so I’m trying to move everything over in phases…

I packed up my bar, all my stemware, and started putting together some of my computer stuff. Tomorrow, we’re building my workbench so I’ll be able to migrate my computers over finally.

Next week, the couch arrives. I’ll then be able to position and mount the projector. I don’t know how I’m going to get the screen there. Maybe I’ll tie it down to the roof of my car. Maybe I’ll luck out and it’ll fit in dad’s truck. Maybe I’ll call a friend with a bigger truck 🙂

I should be in fully by next week. Once the couch comes, I’ll be able to just chill and relax like I can here now. Thats also a big reason I don’t want to go there now… I’d be confined to my bedroom, as the living room is no more than a workshop for home-repair right now 🙂

I am going to shoot for the weekend of March 17th for my open house. That’s pending I can get all my furniture moved in by then. Need to call on some friends or rent a truck for Friday evening or Saturday. I would love to be in next weekend and have the week to organize, clean and set up.

I wish the furniture store still had that bar!!! I need to find a local retailer that sells the one I want or else pay an arm and a leg to get it shipped here.

I think it looks great… Who wants to break it in with me? 🙂

Sorry to mislead you with the title, but i needed a song with Friday in the title because i’m in a good mood. I feel like singing. Don’t worry, I’ll spare you! Got up early and headed down to Town Hall. I picked up the paperwork to apply for the Star program. I had all the paperwork, I just had to go home to my parents to pick it up.

I swapped cars with dad and brought my night tables with me to my place… I brought clothes to paint in, but somehow, I managed to lose them. I don’t know how. I had them in the car. I carried em in with the pillows. When I got here, they were gone. Nowhere to be found. I don’t have that big of a place, so I really don’t understand how I could lose something in it. Especially now while there’s minimal furniture or places for things to go. There must be a vortex in my place to the land of the missing socks (among other stuff!)

So I headed back to my parents house, picked up what I needed and turned it all in to Town Hall.. Good news, I just saved money on my monthly bills.

I headed back home, and got some more painting done. I really need to do the moldings in the place, I keep putting it off for some reason.. I still havent picked up the paint I need for my hallway either. I’m going shopping with mom tomorrow, so perhaps I’ll pick up the paints I need, as well as other trinkets and do-dads I need in the place 🙂 My wallet is full of gift cards for just about any store I could possibly need to pick stuff up in.
