Stupid Internet!!

Ok, so I have been gone for awhile again, but this time, I have a lot of good reasons! first of all, i have been really busy, then it was my birthday, and my parents were here, and on top of that, the internet wasn't working...on my computer only...OF COURSE! so i was using tom's computer to check email and stuff, but thats it! so anyways, i've got so much to blog about! lol so here we go...

I got the spare bedroom painted, and we got it all set up. Tom had built a box frame to put the mattress on, which we still needed to buy...so we went to a local furniture store, and its actually a funny story! the day before we went in, i had made some phone calls to several stores here in town, and when i called the store we ended up at, they said they had 2 king size mattress in their "oops" department, one for $139, and one for $149, which was a really good price, so we went there, and the lady was telling us that the mattress was like $350 or something like that, so i told her the day before i had called and talked to someone, and that they had told us the other prices, she said oh ok, well i can sell you this one for $139, and then a couple others for other prices, but the $139 mattress is REALLY nice!!! its a king size Vera Wang mattress, and is the most comfortable bed! lol Really a great deal! ok, so then the next thing, i had bought a REALLY pretty shabby chic duvet cover at goodwill for $3.29!! i was SO excited, then got a king size down comforter at target and thought I was set, until I went to put the comforter into the duvet, and realized it was a QUEEN!!! GRRRR but it worked for the weekend anyways. So I will have to take new pictures, cuz the ones I will post in a bit have the queen duvet on it still, but i'll explain how i got a new one in a min. lol...

Ok so my parents came for the weekend, for my birthday, so saturday we went to A TON of garage sales, jcpenny outlet, and sharestuff which is a REALLY nice thrift store run by our church and all the money goes to sharefest which is when our church and several other churches get together and fix up the city's public schools...ANYWAYS....so got lots of cool stuff at garage sales and all that, and at sharestuff we I found a king size Nautica duvet with the bedskirt, pillow shams and 3 throw pillows for $25, looks brand new, and its really nice! so that is the new one, its not on the bed yet, but we have it...anyways, we had a fun weekend, busy, but lots of fun!

Seems like there is more I should be blogging about, but eh, I don't remember it now, so I will post some pictures, and off to bed for now...
