After giving it a bit more thought, we decided not to go to the coast until after we move into the new place.....................
Now that the lease has been signed, it is time to get serious about furniture, appliances and all the various crap that makes a home.
We had been looking at appliances for the past few weeks, in a casual "just looking" sort of way, but the last three days have been intense. Price comparing and deal negotiating have filled our days from breakfast till dinner.
Today we sealed the deal on a fridge, stove, washer, dryer, microwave, television, vacuum, and 3 gas tanks.
It pays to shop around and negotiate for the best price. It was fun, but exhausting.
We are going to take the weekend to relax and then start furniture shopping on Monday.
I have my eye on a purple leather living room set and I am hoping we can get the price into our budget.
The past three days we have had beautiful weather and I hope it holds for the weekend.
Poor Pete has spent the past three days alone while we have been shopping, so he is going to get a whole day in the park tomorrow, weather permitting!
We are going to go check the progress on the apartment and I hope to take some pictures to post.
For now, it's time to put my feet up and have a beer............
