So what will go inside of it?

My manager gave me a single shift next week so I could pack up and move but he said I could pick up whatever shifts I want to work which is both good and bad. It's bad because then I won't meet my quota (and I finally got the schedule I wanted), but good because it gives me the time I need to continue to look for an apartment and job hunt. I've done three doubles in a row and then a single shift today so I didn't have time. I really need to get on the ball now. Besides, I picked up night shifts for Friday and Saturday.

While I am thinking about the apartment, I am thinking about what the hell I will put in it. The futon I had for ten years finally gave out during the move to Texas so I need a couch, maybe a love seat if I can find cheap ones. I gave a bed and tv to Kristie, one of Daylan's friends, because I didn't think I would need it anymore. Now I need to find another bed and a tv. Well, there is a bed in the warehouse so I'm pretty sure I can take one of those and I'm pretty sure I can take the tv that is in our bedroom right now. It's a decent size. I'm just worried about a couch right now. Possibly a love seat, a coffee table and maybe some end chairs.

I'm looking on craigslist and I see some that could be promising but of course I would have to measure the living room of the place I will be living at, which chances are will be the one that Dennis looked at because well it's cheap, it's within walking distance to Mikey and Dennis, it's in Val-P which is ten minutes away from everywhere I want to be and because I'm already familiar with it. Plus it has a dishwasher and a shared backyard.

These are the possible contenders for what I want to buy to fit inside the apartment.Of course I am mostly looking at the ones with pictures just so I can make sure I wouldn't be buying something hideous. I'd rather not waste money on a couch cover that may not fit. Click the links and tell me what you think!

Now on to some coffee tables and end tables.

I will worry about the rest later on because I didn't have a lot of stuff to fill the last apartment I was in and I really don't remember what I have. Everything has been in storage for 16 months now. Some of this stuff can be really nice and I really did like that red sofa, but one of the sofas was a sleeper sofa. I'd like something that looks like it would be close to matching so it doesn't look bad. Most of the coffee tables and end tables were in a set. I really like the second selection for the coffee tables because it was a glass top but still had a shelf underneath so I could display some books.

That may be all I need for an apartment. The rest would be ornamental, as far as the living room is concerned.

  1. Personally, I like the L-shaped couch in number 2. It's like getting a couch and loveseat in one! It says OBO, so you may be able to get it for like $200 :) And also, I HATE leather...especially in Florida, where it gets blistering hot in the summer, but that's just me :)
    Also, I really like the glass end table/coffee table combo in #6...classy and never goes out of style! plus it's from Destin, so you know it's good quality merchandise!
