What a long day. I just got home. I was seriously busy today from the moment I walked into the office, until the moment I realized it was time to go, and I needed to leave because I had other things I needed to do. After work, I hurried home to get these vases to take to my florist for the arrangements she's making for my fireplace. Well, I hadn't really sat down and chatted with her in a while so I got trapped at her house for about an hour. And, I realized I had bought the wrong vases. Great! So, after I left her house, I ran back home and ate dinner really quickly. Then, Chris and I went to Pier One to try and find the right vases. We failed. Instead, we ended up buying 2 really small julep looking vases and some fake pink dahlia's to go in them. They look pretty cute. Now I just need to figure out where to put them.

After that, we went to Bed Bath & Beyond to get my aunts bridal shower gift. I ended up spending way more than I wanted to but, in the end, just decided to make it a combination shower/wedding gift. It's her second wedding anyway and dude. I spent a lot of money on this stuff! Anyway, I just got home like 20 minutes ago.

When I checked my email, I had an email from the place I ordered the Rebel from saying I needed to call them because they need to call my credit card company and verify the ship to address (my work). It was such a pain in the ass. They guy I talked to was a jerk. I realize the company is just trying to protect themselves as well as the consumer, but they don't have to be such pansies about it. The guy told me that he "looked up" my work phone number and it "came back as a business address, so you're okay there." Uh, yeah....duh? It was just really frustrating. I hate that. JUST SEND ME MY CRAP OKAY?

I can't complain too much though, I got a really great price on it.

Anyway, I just read Asten's blog and noticed him talking about summer plans. GUH. My summer is already packed, and it's not even May yet. It really all starts with this weekend. First, Michigan. Then, the weekend after that I'm having a garage sale and I have to go to my friend Dionne's graduation. The next weekend I have to go to a bridal shower for my friend who's wedding I'm in coming in June. The weekend after that, we're in Miami for my aunt's wedding. The weekend after that, we're going away for our anniversary. I *think* the first 2 weekends in June are still open..unless I'm forgetting something, which I am. The 2nd weekend in June is the bachelorette party for my friend. The next weekend is her wedding. The weekend after that, the weekend is blocked for reason's I can't really talked about right now (surprise related) and also, that 'surprise' weekend, I'm supposed to be going with my family to my great-grandmother's grave for a 'decoration day' that they have each year. She's buried on the property of where she was born and where an old cabin still stands, so usually everyone goes out there and cleans up the cabin and stuff like that. It's pretty much a tradition. Anyway, in July the only thing I can think of right now is the family reunion and Cornerstone Festival which is around the 4th. I think there are 2 more things going on in July, but I can't think of them right now. For August I'm drawing a blank and at the end of Sept/beginning of Oct, we're going to the Dominican Republic for a week.

That about sums it up for now. I'm sure more things will be added soon.

I think we're going to buy a new entertainment center for the living room and a bookshelf for the bedroom pretty soon. Tonight we stopped by the furniture store and they had some new pieces out that match our set for the living room and bedroom. But first, we need to figure out something to do with our existing entertainment center. The thing is heavy as shit. I actually like it and wouldn't mind keeping it for the family room that's eventually going to exist in the basement, however I already know Chris isn't going to carry it downstairs so I'm not even going to ask him. :P

I also need to get my ass in gear and start painting the master bathroom (which I already have paint for) and the bedroom. I've been talking about the bedroom for weeks now. The hardest part is painting. I really need to do that. Maybe I can start painting the weekend of the garage sale.

Well, I think I'm going to watch the Restaurant now. Have a good night!
