Something resembling furniture
Jan. 6th, 2007 11:32 pmToday, with the help of an ad in the Money Mailer, we discovered The $99 Furniture Store. Hee. It actually looks like it has some decent bedroom and dining room sets, but we bought a table and four chairs at Big Lots yesterday, and until we get the rooms painted, we're just going to stick with the air mattress, so we didn't need those.
What we did need, however, was something we could both sit on and watch tv. Enter the Giant Beanbag Puff. $99, it can supposedly hold three adults, but like most things like that (ie, three-man tents), I'm not sure what size adults they use to measure it. Matt and I are both over 200 lbs. We can sort of comfortably fit on it together, so it serves its purpose for now, as a cuddle-and-tv spot.
No painting was accomplished today, but Matt did get the ceiling soaked in the front room, in preparation of scraping off the popcorn texture. So the air mattress is now in the living room until the front room is scraped and painted.
We did take some time, went out to downtown Glendale for Glendale Glitters & Glows, a sort of block party the last weekend the Christmas lights are up. Plus, they have a lot of hot air ballons that are supposed to light up at the same time. We didn't spend too long down there, since it's also the first year a major college football championship was being played in Glendale, so the streets were crammed with rowdy Florida and OSU fans. Very annoying. So we tried to get out of there as soon as possible.
