We went off on a furniture quest. First went to a garage sale and did really well - I got a short bookcase, a small chest of drawers, and a vacuum cleaner. The furniture isn't beautiful, but it's otherwise in really good shape. I'm thinking I may paint the chest of drawers and then do some cute stencils on it.

We also went by a place that had a free washer and dryer that they claimed were in good working condition, but they were outside and looked seriesly grungy. Maybe they were in good working condition when they set them out, but now...I gotta think no.

There are a few more things I'd like to look at - a free entertainment center and some livingroom furniture that is fairly inexpensive, but we'll see. A lot of things will have to wait until I have some income.

Keepin' my fingers crossed about the job interview...it would be nice if things happened that smoothly, but I can't quite imagine it. Not after a year of trying so hard and having so many letdowns...

Hi - we're back! We were out at a garage sale buyin' some bargain stuff, and we went to look at a free Washer-Dryer that turned out to look like a bargain at all!

We still can't get in and really do much in the place next door 'cuz handy guy is working there, but we did talk to him about finishing up with unimportant things like painting in the areas we need to get to and focusing on the bathroom floor that really needs done now.

I think the handy guy kinda got Rosie down with some of the things he said... but I think he's over-reacting a little. We need to make sure though, and have someone look into the electrical, to make sure the place won't burn her up.

Now though, she's got to get herself in the right headspace for the interview!
