I drink wine sometimes.

March 9th, 2007

I’ve just made the first major apartment purchase, a slipcover from Overstock.com for the ugly red couch. I hope it works. I’ve also skipped ahead in the Cure and cleaned and organized the surfaces in the bathroom, minus the bathtub. Its much less scary to put my contacts in now. I’m not so afraid to drop them on the counter.

I bought some wrapping paper that is pretty cool. I want to mount it to some nice plywood and shalack it as a cheap artwork idea. If I like it, great. If not it can always become a collage project.

Things to get at Target:
Litter box (out of stock, other tgt next week), Counter wipes (got spray instead). Power strips. Extension cord (they were all shady). Look at organizational bins/trays, pillows, lamps, bedding, curtians, rugs.

This weekend:
Return cabinet things at home depot, get plywood, shalack and paint for desk. Returned! Got paint chips and made some decisions. I picked up drill bits for the shelf project instead of plywood and shelack, which I now think was a silly idea.
Go to Santa Monica and pick through West Elm, Anthropoligie, and Urban Outfitters sales.
Look at Pier One to see if the lamp I like is on sale through the store or only through the website. Lamp was nice, but shade was ugly.
Measure for rug. Measure for drapes.
Send Mark shelf picture.Didn’t need to, Scott’s going to pitch in.
Stop at the thrift store on Venice. very cool, but everything needed more love than I’m willing to give.
Bring stereo to Scott’s.

edit: I’m failing at the outbox. I haven’t put the green chairs outside yet. Or the ugly blue coffee table. Or the black side table on the patio. I may cheat and leave all those things out there for now. The black belt that is broke is in the outbox though. As is all the clothes I need to give to Diane or Lisa.
