So. I still feel like ass. I'm starting to feel like I'm never going to get over this sinus crap. Even though I'm still a walking petri dish, I rallied and went out of town yesterday. But let's back up a smidge...
Friday, my Ikea cherry was popped. And yes, I was overwhelmed. And yes, I didn't walk out of there empty handed. I bought wrapping paper. And picked out 5 different beds I want in our guest room. And found 17 pieces of furniture for the same tiny ass guest room.
Having worked at a fairly upscale furniture store in college, Ikea was a new and foreign world for me. I never knew furniture could be so cheap. But it did seem that the quality matched the price. However, for a guest room that will average one person sleeping in it per year, I think we're safe with cheap and cheaper.
Tangent time- Bob refuses to have anything smaller than a king size bed in this closet sized guest room. I have the most fabulous antique iron bed frame that I'm dying to set up in the room. Issue is... it's a double. And Bob says we should have a "grown up bed" in that room for our "adult" guests (read... potentially one parent at time OR drunk friends who stay over after parties). So the way this will play out... I will let him win and keep a king size bed in there, but I will buy super cute furniture and make it a bright girly room. He's not going to like this compromise. Oh well. That's how marriage works. Right?
Friday I also found some pretty fabulous wine, made from North Carolina blackberries. I'm all for shopping local and I was very pleased when it turned out pretty freaking fantastic.
Yesterday, some friends and I took a road trip up to Virginia to watch the Louisiana Tech/UVa football game. We (LaTech) won. Woo hoo! 4-0 baby. It was fun, but ridiculously stressful. Those Wahoo's sure made us work for it. After the game, we found a Raising Canes in Charlottesville. If you've never eaten there before, find a Southern college town and get after it. And make sure you order an extra Canes sauce. The extra $.79 is worth it. And yes, it's just chicken fingers, but still. It's effing amazing.
Aaaaand that about sums up the weekend. Tonight, I'm dvr'ing 5 different shows, but trying to decide which to watch when and if I'll even watch them real time or continue with my Netflix'd Felicity, season 2, which is one of my all-time favorite shows, with Everwood coming in at a close second.
