Give Me Back My Five Bucks

It was a productive but spendy weekend. I budgeted $500 this month for household items, and have spent $613.25. $95.72 of that was from the stupid U-Haul rental (plus gas), which I wasn’t expecting. So that’s pretty much my overage right there. I spent $94.05 this weekend at IKEA. I love IKEA because everything is so affordable (although not great for buying long lasting pieces). But I mostly hate IKEA. You go in with one thing in mind, and you come out spending way more than you anticipated. Same goes with Costco. BF built us a really cool joint computer … Continue reading →

Boxes are piled up, drywall is unpainted, and sawdust is everywhere. I’m hoping everything gets done by the end of next weekend, but it doesn’t look like it. I can’t really help with anything either. So I’ve been trying to be productive by bringing more boxes over, organizing my things, etc … but it’s hard when there’s no space to move around in, and my furniture which houses all of my things is still in my old apartment. Oh well. We’ll get through it. I’m glad this is a long weekend! Otherwise we wouldn’t be as far along as we … Continue reading →

Last night BF cleaned out half of his closet to make room for my clothes. That man has more clothing than me! Seriously. I think he has double the amount of clothing I have. And I also think he’s some sort of crazy pack rat, because he doesn’t seem to want to throw away anything. As for the closet situation, I would say that I have a medium amount of space. Not exactly enough space for all of my clothes, but definitely a lot more than my first apartment here in Vancouver. That place was brutal. All of my stuff … Continue reading →

Guess how much packing I managed to get done last night? NOTHING. I didn’t pack a single thing. Although, I did take a book and put it in my car, AND I brought a teddy bear over to BF’s house. So technically I did move something. Anyway, BF and I are supposed to be going away this weekend to go hiking and climb a mountain. But I have a feeling his work is going to ask him to do some OT instead, and I have an even stronger feeling that he’s going to say yes. I’d be really disappointed if … Continue reading →

Okay so last night I packed ½ of a box. And then was too lazy to carry it to my car. So basically I didn’t do any packing, but I have excuses! 1) there was a SUPER good baseball game on TV that I’ve been waiting to watch all season, 2) I had to clean up a bit before the guy came to buy my couch – made an extra $75!, and 3) I was fungry and wanted to get to BF’s as quickly as possible. I think I’m going to be doing this every day until I move in … Continue reading →
