I just love finding bargains. It's such a great feeling to find something coveted at half the price. I love goodwill, I love eBay, I love sales. There are so many things I'd like to get for our home. I'd like to replace a lot of our hand-me-downs from my parents or our cheaper items. A new coffee table that will double as a work area for me. Possibly a new couch or at least a cover for the one we have- some people love the green as it adds a splash of color, but I want either a tan or brown couch to add to our loveseat. The chair we have might just end up being thrown out, maybe we'll keep it. I want two more book shelves. But I don't want to move them. So we'll stick with the cheap walmart ones for now. A new dresser is needed too. Then I could redo our room. I really don't like our dressers now and the space they both take up. But I also want our future bedroom set to match, so I might just have to wait until we move to replace that. I just hate waiting sometimes. I'd like to get two large area rugs for our living room and office. It's nice having hard wood floors, but not so nice on the feet. So two large rugs. One cranberry, one... Deep green maybe? I'm terrible at decorating, but I've been experimenting a bit. I just put up pegs on our kitchen wall over the counter to hang all our measuring cups and spoons on. I cleared off our kitchen counters as much as possible. I like it. Matt thinks it's silly. But the kitchen is my domain so it doesn't matter. Part of me wants to hire a decorator for our future home so I don't mess it up. But I won't. I'll just plan plan plan before nailing anything permanent.

That's really all I wanted to say today. I like furnishing our home. It's fun. Next house I'm going to try to use hanger hooks instead of nails for pictures etc so I can change up the decor if I want. I don't like having the same set up all the time.

Church was good. Lunch with friends was good. Afternoon nap was good. Dinner was good. I'm starting to feel better so that's good. Hopefully the rest of this week will go good. I have started the job search. Praying that will go good. Ut's hard trying to find something for June... When it's February.

Cheers.
