Well, today was a bit crazy for us! We got up early, headed to Starbucks, then packed and organized some more. I swear, I keep thinking we're done and there is STILL junk laying EVERYWHERE! It's driving me nuts! I don't want to pay movers to move the boxes and end up with a ton of stuff laying around that we end up having to move ourselves. So, even though I am driving Lance crazy, we're still packing! After we organized for a while, we took a "short" trip to Costco. I swear, when I told Lance I wanted to go, I really only meant to grab 2 things. An hour later I had all new dishes (they are exactly what I wanted and they were such a bargain!), new glasses, cleaner to spray on the side of the house, an awesome kit of garden tools that come in a collapsible bag to haul your weeds and such around in while you work, a set of nozzles for our hose, and I even managed to get what we originally went in for: a new USB flash drive and toilet paper (BOTH on coupon, of course!).
After that we headed to the Kasala outlet in SoDo. I've never been there before but holy cow, that store is AMAZING! In their main area, everything they have on the floor is outlet priced but if you want to buy it, they order you a brand new one. In the back they have their warehouse and everything is as-is but SUPER cheap. For example, an amazing brown leather sectional sofa for $700 and everything was an additional 10% off. I found a great king bed frame for $299 (yes, this included a brown leather headboard, the sideboards, foot board and the slats across the bed) but Lance refuses to buy one until we figure out if our king sized bed will even fit in the room. I however am sure it will and an extra 7 inches added by a minimal bed frame won't kill us! But, in the tradition of picking and choosing battles, I let it go. We did end up buying a couch though! It's white leather (I never thought I'd love a white leather couch). It's really modern looking and super low to the ground and comes with a great ottoman and it's really comfy to sit on. They are holding the next one to come in for me that'll arrive in 3 weeks or so. Thankfully I got to put down a refundable deposit so if we get into our new house and measure out the size of the couch and it ends up being too big, I can cancel and get my money back. I really, really hope it fits because I am in love with couch!
Other than that, we swung by the Home Depot and grabbed 4 gallons of primer, some roller covers and a shower curtain rod for the new place. I think if we purchase one more thing for the new place before we actually move in Lance's head might explode because our apartment is already jam packed with boxes and ladders and paint cans and I just keep adding more! Thankfully he's very understanding after I provide him with a few Busch Light beers so I think I'll be okay.
Fingers, as always, are crossed for this closing to actually happen on the 29th! Off to clean and pack more stuff up now!
