Wow, taking a few days off from writing just feels weird. After competing the 90 in 90 challenge I intended to wait until Monday to put up a new post, but after writing every day for three months I just felt incomplete going to bed without putting something, anything up here. Yesterday was a full day for me with volunteering at Lafayette Day in Easton and shopping for household items. I think I’ve gotten to the point where I really can’t do much more to buy for the new house until I actually close on it.

After a lot of research and consulting with friends I picked up a Stihl BG 55 leaf blower, so outdoor power equipment is covered, for now. I have also been trying to pick up odds and ends, but without knowing exact dimensions for things, I don’t want to buy something that won’t end up fitting, no matter how many Bed Bath & Beyond 20% off coupons I amass (seriously, they just keep on sending those things out).

Thanks to my aunt I have two great blue chairs that I plan to put in my living room. They should go with the blue couch and blue and white striped chair I already have. Well, that’s the plan anyway. I guess I’ll have to see how they all look together in the same room. Thanks to a neat room planner feature I found on the Thomasville website I can try arranging my furniture virtually, even if I only have rough dimensions.

Is it September 30th yet?
