For now I leave you with some youtube videos that I am wee bit obsessed with.

Can you tell I’m really excited?

When I get home I will get to see all my lovely new furniture in my house.  It will feel like freaking Christmas!!! 

I am getting a new bed, Queen (finally), with a pillow top.  No more Full firm bed for me.  Now my back won’t hurt anymore when I wake up in the morning.

I am also getting a sofa, love seat, and entertainment center.  I will not have anything mix matched anymore!

Full adulthood here I come.  (Oh yeah, and some debt….but very much because we put down a good size amount before financing the rest.)

I won’t be able to marvel in it’s awesomeness too much when I get home because I have rehearsal tonight.  But that’s okay.  I get to sleep in my new bed, and all will be right with the world….

Our couches, entertainment center, bed, and sleigh bed get delivered tomorrow!!  Yeah!!!  No more mix and match stuff for us!! 

I have also decided that I am starting my Couch-to-5K today after work.  (I don’t feel comfortable doing early in the morning yet, because I don’t know the area completely).  But I will be logging my miles and letting you know how I’m doing.  Anyone else doing this too?

Well, now I leave you with some pictures of our house while we were moving in.  I will do a video tour once our furniture gets delieved. Most likely Wed. or Thursday.

This will be the office, but for now we call this the 'Blue Room'. It's kinda bright.

Lime anyone? This was awesome to have when we were done unloading. Corona with a lime.

If you want to try this out let me know, so then I can take a look at your Picture Art.

Tomorrow we are closing on the house and moving in!!  I can’t wait.  I will do a video tour whenever we get most of the furniture set up.

(Before you start thinking my Land Lords are Asses, let me clarify one thing, I think the same thing!!!  But we did just pay up until this weekend and they do need to paint the inside of the house. So I guess I can’t crab too much, but it still feels good.)

What this means is that we are technically homeless.  All our stuff is in a moving truck or in someone’s garage. 

One of our really good friends actually volunteered to let us stay with them (and their three kids), and help with the whole non-move.  They were really great to come all weekend and help us from early morning to late late at night. 

We packed stuff upon stuff  upon stuff.  I kept finding random stuff all over there place that had no real home, but I was so tired of trying to decide if we want it or not and just starting throwing stuff in boxes (with no lable – so that should be fun later when we actually move…not).  I cleaned like I have never cleaned that house before.  I whipped out the Comet and scrubbed my hardest on the tub. 

I even shampooed all the carpets in the house (our bedroom was really icky after we moved all of our furniture out – ew…).  I am now very sore, tired, and just want to be in my own house with my new sofa, bed, and frigde.  (We picked up the fridge on sunday. It looks AWESOME!!) 

I think I might suggest to Hubby, if this whole thing goes more then a few more days, that we spend a night or two at a hotel.  Granted our friends will have to watch the dog, but that is easy.  And we will be out of their hair for a few days.  AND  it will be like a mini vacation for us. 

Hmmm…maybe…

Update: 4:30pm – Just got a call from my broker and WE HAVE A CLOSING DATE!!!!  We are finally closing on Wednesday at 1pm. 

*sigh* 

I’m so relieved and there feels like so much weight has been lifted off my shoulders. 

So who wants to come help me move?  Again…

The stress is really getting to me. Just the not knowing.  The living in boxes.  The waiting.

Then on the other side we have the land lord’s wife bitching at us because she needs to get in there and paint.  That she is obligated to the new people because they paid a deposit. 

We paid our rent. We paid a deposit (that she owes us).  We have been here for 5 years.  Where is the loyalty there?

I think it is because we aren’t bringing in anymore money for her, so she is done and moving on to the next person.  Sad, but very try of her personality.  She is all about what will benefit her, not about people’s feelings.  She prides herself on being the Bitch Boss. 

To get away from here we are moving out this weekend, whether we have closed or not.  We are moving. To get away from her, and stop hearing her bitch.  We will most likely load everything up in the U-Haul and stay with some friends.

Right now I’m extremely busy at work and just waiting impatiently for the phone to ring to bring me good news.  (I don’t do the whole waiting very well).

I don’t care if we have to do some of it ourselves.  It will be fine.  It will give us the whole weekend to organize everything, unpack, and possibly shop for stuff to decorate the house with. 

*Sigh* The one thing I’m so excited to do.

I have found numerous sites, magazines, ideas, and what not. Other people have given me ideas to their favorite places to shop.

(Can you see where I’m going with this?)

I need inspiration people.  I want to know where you go when you shop for your house.  What sites do you visit?  What stores are your favorites?  Where are the best deals?

I am not going to lie, but I’m in LOVE with Pottery Barn.  I would buy everything in it if I could afford it.  It is completely my style.

I also love to redo furniture. I just bought a China Hutch off Craigslist. It needs some TLC – paint, hinges, and knobs.  Once it is done I will post before and after pictures.
