Today I:
- slept in.
- did my yoga.
- purchased curtains and curtain rods for the kitchen and bedroom and hung them.
- purchased a lamp shade and put it on the lamp.
- purchased everything I need for my cat except for dry food (asked Mom: he eats Meow Mix seafood mittles), a food dish (everything tastes better out of a purple bowl, so I must find a purple one), and some sort of mat for the bathroom floor to put the litter box on. Oh, and a scratching apparatus. But I got the catnip mice.
- put vases away under the sink, washed fancy serving bowls and put them away, unpacked my paltry supply of liquor (two bottles of passoa, one of chai liqueur, and half a bottle of malibu), began hanging photographs in the kitchen.
- unpacked... a lot of boxes. Stacked the remaining kitchen boxes against one wall, pulled out the table, put up the leaves and placed chairs around it. The kitchen looks like a kitchen now instead of a storage repository.
- stripped sheets off my bed, put on the new mattress pad and clean sheets, washed the previous sheets.
- compiled another bag of clothes for Goodwill, as well as a box of unused knicknacks and electronics and windchimes, and put the box in the basement, along with some more empties.
- cleaned out the hall closet, stacking board games in the living room in preparation for the new something I'm planning to get to put them on. Refilled hall closet with blankets, towels, kitchen towels, craft supplies.
- found my peacock tapestry!
- cleaned out my jewelry box!
- discovered that there are more stuffed animals in my apartment than there are at Toys R' Us. For serious. I opened that box and immediately closed it again. Not ready to deal with the furry friends yet.
I can't remember what else I did. The best thing I did, though, was discovering that the drain stopper thing I purchased so I can run a bath in the tub actually works. Best $1.99 I have ever spent. There's just something about a nice hot bath that makes my eyes roll back in my head. I could get addicted to this.
I still need a bunch of things for the apartment, but other than living room curtains, some sort of table/shelves for the living room, a cd rack, and the aforementioned cat products, the things I still need are in the realm of gifts. I'm going to ask my parents for a nice microwave cart or bakers rack for my birthday; I don't own any wine glasses or much wine or liquor; I'd really like some new bubble bath and a short sexy bathrobe. (Well, that last one's not really crucial for the apartment.) The whole place is in such good shape! It's almost ready for Mr. Sam to move and be comfortable here. I hope he likes it here. He's the last really important thing I need. I'm going to bring him home with me next Tuesday.
Tomorrow: hanging the rest of the photos in the kitchen; ironing bed curtains and tapestry; cleaning the kitchen and hopefully mopping the floor, or maybe going to Walmart for some of the last few things I need if it's not snowing.

Date: 2007-02-26 01:29 pm (UTC)From:Agreed! When we had our tub fixed so that the drain and bath fixtures worked (previously we'd only had the shower and the drain wouldn't really close) I went out and bought all this fancy tub products. I was like IT'S BATH TIME. Btw, The Body Shop has an awesome warming sake bath gel.... which I would post a link to, but I can't find it. Maybe they discontinued it and that's why I got it on sale. Pooh. Well, I'm sure you have lotsa yummy bath stuff already.
You know... that makes me think though, along with the "I still need a bunch of things for the apartment" paragraph, that places like Target and Bed Bath and Beyond should make a Housewarming Registry. That way you can register and have a housewarming party (with your, like, futon, one folding chair, milk crates and plastic cups) and people can chip in and get you the rest of the stuff you need. It wouldn't be greedy, because you could compensate whenever your friend moved and needed stuff and then *she* would have a housewarming party.
Anyway, moving is so exciting/stressful at the same time. Best of luck!!!!

Especially because house-type gifts are the sorts of things people give for weddings, and with people getting married later and later, by the time they actually get married they've got all their household stuff already. Not that, you know, they can't just register for *nicer* household stuff when they do get married. But I've spent years watching my friends get wonderful gifts just because they managed to find a mate. I want presents too! :)
Speaking of which--I didn't realize your wedding was coming up so soon! Good luck--have a wonderful day. :)
