Up at 6am, and out walking two dogs by 6:15. When I returned home at 6:45, my daughter was already up *blink*blink* I was surprised, but it was fine :) She cooked up some eggs, we both had our shower, got some house straightening up done. By the time my granddaughter and son woke up, her and I had a nice chit chat about furniture -- more specifically, the lack of furniture in my house! I haven't bought any since I moved to Arizona. In fact, the last time I bought a couch was 1992 -- and my daughter still uses that couch! yikes!
So she convinced me that we needed to head out and look at furniture - a chore I detest when doing it alone. And I put it off for other reasons too, but that's a different kettle of fish. Anyways, we headed off toward a strip mall with two furniture stores in it. And went into the one that opened first. We went in, turned a corner and I liked the first one I saw. But the sofa was too big, so we walked over the entire store and every other couch was just as big. Or had a patterned fabric. Or some other reason. We stopped at one, and it was eh, mostly ok, but I wanted to see the first one we stopped at again. And yep. I bought me a love seat and chair. And we were done and home in less than an hour -- the new pieces will be delivered on Sunday! Yippee -- it will look more like a real home now, for sure :)
My parents came over after that and Dad was gonna help my son put gutters on the back of the house to help with the rainwater issues. They worked and worked. Mom and my aunt -- well, you can't come to my house without doing something that they put their 'mark' on here -- so I had them painting stripes on my concrete block wall. And it looks fabulous! I love it :) (Sorry Aunt Margie, but you just never know what you're gonna get into when you come over to my house!!! lol )
