Busy Bee

Whew, I need a vacation from the weekend I just had! Busy busy busy!

Friday night I had to work until 11:15, which was not too bad. I had to get up super early on Saturday so we could go check out some furniture. My aunt's friend is downsizing and selling her house, so she needed it out. I was a little surprised when I walked in...I'm not sure what I was expecting but it wasn't this. I ended up taking the furniture, because we have nothing to put in the apartment, and it really was something I couldn't pass up.

For $500 I got:
A couch - is currently cream with green and mauve stripes, needs a slipcover
Two formal chairs - am selling to my mother, they are comfy but a little stiff and my mom LOVES them. She is planning on having my aunt help her re-upholster them and in exchange, my aunt is giving us two wingback chairs
Two side tables - want to get new hardware for these because it is currently gold
Two lamps - Words cannot describe the horror of these lamps. They have engraevd butterflies all over them. *barf* Even if I paint them, it will still be visible - I have some ideas up my sleeve on how to fix them
One wingback chair - is brown...maybe need slip cover. This is going in the second bedroom.
One kitchen table - Nice, but doesn't appear to be extremely sturdy.... hopefully Kevin won't be diving onto it anytime soon haha (also, has two leaves and expands to fit 8)
4 (i think) chairs for the table - The table is a pretty wood color but for some reason, she painted the chairs a cream color. Need to be stripped and stained

I would like to look into getting a remnant carpet for the living room as the one in the apartment is currently a purple-y blue color. I'm thinking beige.

After this, my mom, sister and I went to the fair! Yahoo, I love it there! I bought bbq sauce for Kevin, a necklace and anklet for myself and had a Philly cheesesteak for lunch! Also, some lady cured my headache in approx 1 minute and another cleaned my gorgey engagement ring and it super sparkly and even more beautiful (if that is possible).

We had to leave by 3, but we got stuck in the parking lot when the key wouldn't turn in my mom's ignition. Boy was my dad happy that he had to come and rescue us (dripping with sarcasm)

My mom and I ran some errands after the fair - I got a dry erase calendar for the new apartment, frames and miscellaneous supplies from Joanns to make my Photo card box, and got some ideas for the aisle runner I volunteered to make for my friend's wedding in 2 weeks.

Kevin is coming to visit me on Tuesday after work because we haven't seen each other in 2 weeks and its been completely sucks. I'm super excited to see him!! Also, I am looking forward to seeing my cousin Amanda this weekend, meeting my goddaughter Hayden and going to Kevin's friend's wedding on Saturday! Looks like another busy bee weekend haha

Enjoy it!
