I survived

Yesterday, that is. Here's how it went. Justin picked me up after he got off work. We went to South Beach, about a 5 minute drive, to pay our gym fees. Then we went to the grocery store for the invites. Turns out they are indeed regular postage. Woo Hoo!!! We picked up a roll of stamps and headed off to the craigslist guys house. The couches were AMAZING!!! He could have easily gotten $500 for them. We paid $200. Lucky us!!

They were only getting rid of them because they have 3 kids. One is a cute little girl about 4 maybe? who kept coming out to help us load it all up. They also have a great dane. This furniture was just too big for their house so they were downsizing. Yeah for us! After saying yes, we absolutely want this, we drove to the nearest ATM withdrew our money and headed home. We had enough time to pick up the living room and move most of our current furniture out of the way (shoved it in different rooms). Then the nice craigslist guy showed up with our furniture and backed his trailer into our super narrow driveway. What a guy. He helped Justin unload everything. I didn't have to unload anything. The plus side of them thinking girls are "dainty" ha! I've never been dainty in my life.

We spent the rest of the evening rearranging the house, putting stamps on invites and finally sitting down and vegged a little watching Starship Troopers 3. That movie was pretty dumb. Not the worst movie I've ever seen, but pretty lame and definitely in the top 10.

P.S. The twitch continues in my left hand.

COngrats on your invites only needing one stamp. Mine were the same way and I was so happy that we didn't have to pay double what the damn things were worth.
