I'm officially all moved. I started my day by waiting for Ikea to deliver my furniture. I was getting bored waiting so I decided to paint my nails. Word of advice: water marbling and moving don't mix. By the time I was ready for the top coat they had already chipped. At 11:20 I went out to get the vacuum from the garage and found that the gate was stuck and we were locked in. At 11:25 my furniture came. Kat did some quick thinking and took the lock off. After my stuff arrived I headed to Katie's to get my last load. Stan, Nova, and Chen Chen drove me over to my new place and helped assemble my bed and fix the broken lock. We found that my bed is not actually functional. There is no bottom so my mattress falls through. Back to the store! Kat and I went shopping a bit more this afternoon. The list of things I need keeps getting longer and longer. I got a bath mat but the whites don't match. I may have to take it back or bleach it a bit. On the way home we stole a chair from our neighbor's rubbish pile. With a quick wash it'll be nice. There were 2 cushions but only 1 chair so I'm hoping for a sofa to match. When we were both exhausted from assembling furniture and organizing we went out for dinner. We wanted to try the pub at the end of the street but the kitchen was closed. Urban spoon pointed us to cheep pizza, pasta, and beer. Surprisingly they had good cheap pizza, pasta, and beer. When I got home I did a tiny bit more organizing to finish the still need from Ikea list. Then I collapsed into bed. The only part of the house that I would call finished(or close) is my closet. It's up early tomorrow for refrigerator delivery. Yay!
Today's elephant my look remarkably like a previous elephant but don't be confused. This elephant is for tiger airlines and the tiger elephant is for the Richmond football team. Duh!
