We made the last of our major purchases yesterday. We got our 37″ Vizio HDTV from Sam’s Club and our 5 piece entertainment sofa form Value City Furniture. It feels good to have all the big things out of the way. Now we need to gear up for next week’s move. I’ll probibly try to start packing some things up on Monday or Tuesday. Wednesday through Friday will be the major packing days. The couch will be the first item to be delivered. It’s coming on Thursday afternoon so When I go see the place for the first time with all the new upgrades, The couch should be there.
Now, you may have read that last sentence and wondered what I was talking about when I mentioned the new upgrades. It appears Fred and Millie (the people who lived there before us) Were there for quite a long time and just about everything was showing its age. The yellow shag carpet is being replaced with an off white carpet, the kitchen is being completely redone with new tile floors, new cabinets, new countertops that look like granite, and all new appliances. Both bathrooms are getting new lighting and possibly some other new stuff, most of the walls are getting a fresh coat of white paint.
All this new stuff should help motivate us to keep the place in good condition… I think. Well, I’m gonna go watch a movie, “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”. Believe it or not, I haven’t seen it yet, at least, not that I can remember.
