Now that the place is under my name, we were able to start the process of moving in. We’ve changed the locks and cleaned up the place. Next will be painting the living room, which I’m hoping won’t take much at all this weekend.
I will also be looking for a microwave this week and start picking out the furniture I absolutely need. I’m thinking of starting with a dresser and bed, then an entertainment center and desk for computer stuff. Finally a sofa (sofa sleeper) and area rugs to round up the first items. A coffee table to follow. Barstools will be needed and a small table and couple of chairs for the lanai.
There are other things to get done along the way too.
Very involved but definitely worth it.
Anyone who knows me can attest, I am a gadget freak. I love them shiny things even if I don’t need them. So it will be quite a challenge to do what I’m looking to do in a couple of weeks. Or technically starting now, come to think of it.
I won’t be buying much gadgetry. The last thing I’m giving to myself is possibly upgrading to the iPhone 3GS, mainly for the improved camera features and definitely at the subsidized price (not to mention sticking with 16GB). I will also need to be picky about what games I get. Lucky for me, I already pre-ordered the big ones that are planned. I know for sure I pre-paid in full for one. Can’t say about the other.
I think the sacrifice will indeed be worth it. But would I suffer from withdrawals? I’ve never considered that, although I have been thinking of how well my willpower is.
Strong like bull.
