We have not done too much these past couple of days. On Friday, I finally saw my best friend. We went out to dinner to On The Border. The food was great, we all had such a good time. I had the appetizer plate and a Caesar salad. They drank and let me suffer because I wanted a margarita so bad. The on Saturday we helped my friend move into her apartment. Well not WE, but he helped lug all her stuff into her new place. I spent the night on Saturday and we spent the majority of time giggling. We looked over some of her stuff she got from being overseas and watched the boondocks until we feel asleep.
On Sunday we headed on over to Ikea, Linens and Things and Walmart. I found a couple of things at Ikea, although we did spend half the time cracking up at some of the oddballs we saw there. I went there looking for a couple lamps and a side table. I found the table but no lamps. After Ikea, we went to linens and things they are having a huge going out of business sale. I bought myself a very nice comforter set. It includes everything that I need to decorate my bed. I cannot believe it comes with 2 sets of satin sheets and decorative pillows and about 8 pillow cases, in addition to the sheet set. Best of all I only paid $50.00 it was marked 80% off. They really did not have to much else that I needed, they had very nice bathroom curtains that I wanted to get but they were “half” curtains, what in the world do you do with those.

After she dropped my off at home, we started to finally put the dang living room in order, it was such a mess in there. I took down the really old crusty blinds and let some light in, it looks 300 times better now. We rearranged the couches and made our fireplace a focal point, some day I want to add a mantle to it. I still don’t have too much on the walls, I am looking to buy about 3 mirrors to hang the up in the living room and one in the hallway and one in our room.

Last night after work we all ventured out to find a new king bed frame, ours is too low and its killing my back to get in and out of bed. I had looked online to see if we can find a decent price and it was a no go, so finally we decided on going to JCpenny outlet. They had alot of good stuff, the had armoirs for about 90 dollars, they did have a few scratches here and there but original price 1500 dollars. We found this really cute head board, its a nice natural wood color, it has a oak like stain to it. Its very nice and sturdy, the only thing wrong with it is it had two long post type things coming out of the sides. I think it looks better with out them anyways. The headboard original price was 1039 and it was marked down to 59. Tell me I did’nt get a good deal so I can smack you, lol. It will be delivered sometime today and I will be sure to take a picture so you can see it with it new bedding.

**edit** They left the bed in the back yard, all I have to do know is wait for the hubby to get home to assemble it, yay I am so excited.
