Just Stuff

Today I do not have to go into the office. I have a four day weekend. I cannot begin to tell you how happy that makes me.

Then, to make things even better I get to have my Christmas early. Yep. I'm spoiling myself. See - I bought myself some Christmas presents. Couple pair of flannel jammies, that I have been enjoying the hell out of. I count the new fridge as one - even though that was kind of a "must have". Then, I did it. I made one of the toughest choices ever for me.

I went and purchased a washer and dryer. They are delivering it today. I really needed them and I got a heck of a deal. But let me tell you - as I paid for it all I could think of was how a ticket to Florida would have been less. I could have spent a week in Florida visiting friends and family, seeing the Gulf, walking in the sand - for what I paid for these appliances. Damn - sometimes being a grown up sucks.

But - they are being delivered today. No longer will I have the excuse of going to a laundry mat for not having things caught up. That is just about everything I need for the house.

Except for curtains. Here's a funny thing. As I was unpacking my box-O-window treatments I realized other than my formal living room set, I only have one pair of each curtain I own. Every room but the kitchen has two windows. I mentioned that to my cousin and she reminded me that in Florida, because of the heat/sun, most houses only have one window per room. The only reason I have 2 of the formal ones is because I had a living room/dining room combo. Huh. I never realized that - but it's true of every place I've lived. The problem is I buy very unique curtains - I'll never find another that matches what I have so I need to buy new sets. Oh well, in time. Everything in time. Thank goodness for blinds!!! I can only imagine what my new neighbors would think!!!!

Anyway - I leave for Mama Vi's tonite, to return Sunday afternoon. It should be a quiet holiday weekend, and I'm looking forward to getting back here and doing some more puttering. Or just sitting. Whatever I want. I just know I don't have to go to the office. No one is going to yell at me. It's a four day weekend and I can do whatever I want. :-)
