I finally got a dining table yesterday. My friend Cathy is done with her time at IUP, and is moving to Georgia to start teaching. She had a table, nice size, black tile top with light wood trim...I got it for $20. Then I bought 4 wooden chairs from my landlord's antique shop for $40, which are antique blue right now. So now I have a dining table! I'm totally thrilled. Of course my kitchen is a little cramped now, but that's mainly because I have a nice pile of recycling to take to the recycling center. I also got 2 end tables, which I think one is going to go in my bedroom because another friend of mine is moving and said he would give me a recliner. I also got a beige rug that I'm going to put in the living room because my living room theme is beige, blue and black with light wood. Kind of mixed matched, but it works. Just really need to work on fixing up my bedroom now.
I also went to Lowe's yesterday. I got myself this vinyl that makes your windows into privacy glass, to put on the bottom of my front screen door. I like having the light, but the cats like to peek out and I can't have that. I just put it up. I like it. I wasn't too thrilled leaving the door open and having the neighbors peeking in anyway. I forgot to look at screens and screen material though. I need to fix the screen on my front screen so I can leave it open. Plus only one window has a screen, so I need those expandable screens so I can open the windows. Yesterday I had the front window open and the cats jumped up on the sill and were hanging out. Almost pushed Bootsie out trying to get him down. Learned my lesson with them yesterday though, no open windows.
I also bought parsley, cilantro and basil already growing, and dill and oregano seeds to plant. I'm debating whether I should do them outside or put a pot inside so I have them all year long.
I also got my friend's george foreman grill, so last night I had hamburgers. That thing is awesome! Ate my burgers at my new table. Bought stuff to have a nice shrimp dinner tonight, and enchiladas sometime this week. Right now I have a strong urge to continue working on the house, but I seriously have to work on my paper that is due Wednesday.
I booked my plane ticket home, well home to the Gray's. I'm leaving here June 2nd. I'll probably stay a week or so with them and then fly to Ontario. My dad and I talked about flying Nicholas with me so he can see if flying is doable, that way when it snows here he can come visit.
Not too much longer then around here in PA. I work on Wednesday and Friday, and the following Monday. May 6th my last final is due in stats. May 12th I have to help with graduation, and then I think the 14th I start my week long summer class. I talked to Jen about going to Cedar Point in Ohio, the best roller coaster park in the country. I also have to gather up supplies for studying this summer and figure out how I'm getting them home.
All and all though, I'm pretty darn happy these days.
