Finally, furniture stops making our lives miserable...

After a hellish week, we initially planned on spending our first apartment Friday on some kind of a date - movie, dinner, exploration, etc. I got out of work a little early, so I rushed home to start getting the backing onto our massive IKEA HOPPEN - I thought it would be a nice surprise for Sue, since she could then finally start putting her stuff away in earnest.

Sue came home, and we got into a little furniture-building frenzy. After a few hours and exactly 48 screws we had all our furniture built and all our clothes put away. It was a spectacular bit of teamwork.

Saturday morning was equally positive. Raymour & Flannigan delivered our furniture at exactly 8AM. While they didn't deliver our sofa, they did deliver a lot of seating and, yes, TABLETRON. We Swiffer-ed, I fixed the media center, and now I have the 4 food groups (Wii, PS3, XBOX, HDTV) and a place to consume them. We have lighting, we have clean floors and, finally, some bit of peace.

We still have a to-do list, but it's substantially shorter:
-Rugs
-Sofa
-Microwave
-Cable / Internet
-Food That Is Not Horribly Unhealthy
