Townhome fun

[rkold]

I'm now mostly happily ensconced in my townhome and Cookie is finally starting to relax and not just hide under the couch anymore. Basil adjusted pretty fast and I'm still amazed at how well the townhome is holding all our junk. I still have to go through boxes of course and get some new furniture but overall things are going well.

So far the biggest problems are: overhead lights. There are no lights in the bedrooms and the living room in case I've not mentioned this before. I bought a new light to try in the MBR which actually needs a lamp the most as the current window shades are super dark and the little forest our deck overlooks keeps the room dark most of the time. I want to get a lamp for the Living Room, but so far my favorite one is $300 which seems a bit steep. I'm also on the hunt for a well made and attractive chest of drawers or two.

So with that in mind, I am considering going to Brimfield next week end. I've not gone in years... I want to say more than 10! But it always use to be fun and I am hoping they still have the amazing Ice cream place.

Tomorrow I will be exploring more of Federal Road assuming all goes well.

Connecticut sounds nice. :) Hope the kitties will settle in alright. How exciting that you're starting to be able to feel the baby move!! =^.^=

I like CT so far, I think the biggest thing for me is just finding my way around and what is where since I don't have a phone book since we're not getting a land line. ^^;

I think it is the baby moving, there is always a chance it is just gas. >.< But now I think it is the baby since it feels all fluttery and weird. Being pregnant is very exciting, except when I am puking again ~.~

I wonder if that's a common set-up for townhomes and condos? Our place also lacks an overhead light in the bedroom(s), so we have cheap lamps from Target plus bedside lamps.

Good luck with the furniture-shopping!

So far I've been to Target, HomeGoods and an actual lighting store. I bought one lamp at HomeGoods. I'm actually thinking of hitting up Craig's List more and I am trying to tell myself that Brimfield is not a good idea to track things down. >>;

If I got to Brimfield want to go to? Would you want to meet after? It's about 30 minutes North of you, between Springfield and Sturbridge.

And thanks! It's sort of exciting but not since I'd like hubby's opinion but he has been curling up and gong to sleep as soon as he gets home since he is on an earlier schedule now and I think is behind on sleep still from the move. Of course I tend to nap a lot because I'm pregnant. I like to blame everything on the pregnancy and I sort of can according to What To Expect

Unfortunately I'm kind of booked up for the next couple of weekends, but I hope you have a lot of fun if you go to Brimfield!

I hope Kennis can catch up on his rest soon so he can help you with the furniture/light hunting.

Could you possibly go on a week day? I could pick you up since you're sort of on the way. I'd love to see you at some point, I guess it is getting close to strawberry season and then we can go picking! :)

Yeah, I'd love his help, I need to break down some more boxes as well to give to my brother, since he is moving in early June.
