Why is it

That Snoop Dogg-speech makes sense when coming out of Adam Sandler's mouth?
Freaky.
Anyway.
The "plans" I had for the weekend - shot to hell.No painting, I just gave up on that whole idea. Barely any cleaning/moving. Since Marc is bailing on coming over, I dunno how the hell I'm moving the furniture. Especially the bed, which needs dismantling to move, and that mattress and box spring are FREAKY ass heavy. And the damn bookcases, even empty, suck big time ass. I think when Marc calls back I tell his ass get down here, I'll skip going to Club Hell tonight, and we'll move furniture.

So now, as if I didn't have enough, I'm off to the unfinished furniture store, to try and get a lingerie chest, and/or end tables. My look in the store I bought the bed in brought nothing useful. the nightstand that matches my bed has no storage. and, with my bed up on height extensions, doesn't come up high enough. I'm going to measure the height of the bed before I leave, something I forgot to do yesterday, so I know what I'm looking for. Oh, and it can't extend into the closet door area, either, must measure that too.

Then I'm getting crap for lunch. I love that I can use my debit card at Burger King and Wendy's! Today I prefer it, until I can come home and do the books, it's best I don't have any cash handy. Man did I run through that, I don't even know where!

Right, this is boring, at least I found the mail key on the floor! *laughs* The Unit just left, still confused as to why I'm not painting. Now that I'm hearing my nephew is freaking out about them going on vacation without him, I CERTAINLY can't paint now. That would involve me furniture being in another room for a couple of days, I have a feeling he'll be here with me half the time. *sighs* So much for a vacation, I AM GOING to London, so I DON"T have this problem!!!!!!

I feel kinda icky - it's more than just the nice German word problem. *sighs* This should learn me lesson, which lesson I don't know yet *laughs* Six hours my ass! *snicker*

*sighs* OK, furniture awaits, plus I think I want to hit KMart or Target, my brilliant sister didn't get my nephew a lunchbox yet. Dumbass.

because I know you're all DYING to know!
*laughs*
I actually saw some things I liked, except the prices are NUTS. I mean, $250 for a 7 drawer lingerie chest, that STILL needs to be painted/stained? And it's made out of pine! Not even Cedar. the cedar ones - WAY more expensive.

I found the nightstand I liked, which is actually the one NOONE liked in my poll *laughs* It's 29 inches tall, has three deep drawers, and is just a standard wood that would be painted, I'm thinking a black texture, kinda like my bed, which is the standard Goffick Metal Bed with canopy. The thing is the THREE deep drawers. It's around $150, plus the stain/paint (which I haven't decided on yet) Now, instead I COULD get the 6 drawer Lingerie chest, which is about $220, but it's 40 inches tall, which defeats the purpose of having it level with my bed for my clock and glasses. (Yes I wear glasses, get over it.) and stuff like that.

But I'm now looking at Target and thinking "hey maybe I can do this way cheaper!" Now I'm resisting the "let's buy crap furniture, since it's cheap" but I'm also resisting the $300 it'll cost to get the "nice" nightstands. I don't know when I hit the wall with adult furnishings. Maybe when I have my own place.

I'm going to head over to Target. They have a Wicker Basket filing cabinet for $200 so I don't feel too bad about wanting to spend $300 on nightstand, that are exactly what I want. I'm looking at my current filing solution, which has two small drawers and one big enough for hanging files. I'm thinking this one is PERFECT and it was only about $20, if I can find it. I wanted something a bit more sturdy, but let's see. Target has the modular pieces I was looking at. So let's go look!

*exit, stage left!*

Addendum - The cubes with drawers come already in black (alder) and are $35 per two drawer set. So, for $150 I get 8 drawers, at the perfect height. guess what I'm doing!

My sister has entered the apartment to "check something out on the Internet."
She's now been here too long to define that as "quickly checking something out"
She's also brought mher fat ass boyfriend, and FABF's daughter.
My statue of Anubis is in the living room, and I've had images of either the kid knocking it over accidentally, or Fat Ass knocking it over on purpose. I'll KILL him, if either happens.
I want to hit Target but I'm not leaving them here alone.
I want to pee, rather badly after my pot of tea, and don't want to look at Fat Ass, so I'm stuck in my room.
I can feel the A/C going.
Fucking bitch.
I'm VERY glad I'm not at DragonCon, I bet fat ass would LIVE here.

Heh - I just offered to buy his kid a lunchbox. I don't believe the kid should be punished for her father being an asshole. Stupid kid - she likes Xtina more than Brit, dumb kid!

Right, I'm off.

Heh

Just watched the new Teen Titans for the week.
- Theme song in Japanese - NEAT!
- GOTH CHICKS RULE!
did I say Goth Chicks Rule!
*grins*
I so need to find a picture of Raven. *drools*

Anyway, I got the modular pieces, for one nightstand. It's about $60. If I want the other one, I can go back for it. I bought them out of the color I wanted anyway.

Oh, and LOTR: TT - $17, nice!

Off for coffee. back Later.
