Closer

Today I got to see my sofa set in person and it is so gorgeous. I wont be having it delivered until the forth of feb though. I want to be moved in and have my mom there when it comes, so it’s easier on me. I also found a really nice area rug I’ll be getting for the living room as well. My place is going to look so nice, I love decorating. 🙂 I was thinking of getting some artwork for my walls, but I want to paint my own stuff to hang up, so I stopped myself from getting this one cavas painting I liked. I bought a purple throw for my sofa today and was trying to find a nice lamp, but I still haven’t found any I love yet for my living room.

There is only 8 more days until I move now. This weekend is going to be super busy for me. I’ve got to super clean my place and pack the rest of my stuff. I’ve also got to pick up my keys. I am praying the whole move goes smoothly for me.

Oh I also bought an entry rug for my new place, it’s of course, pink and purple. 🙂

 

 

In the presence of men I’m…Rajesh?

I posted a blog about how I managed to get my sofa taken downstairs but I didn’t go into details of how it came to happen and the journey of it so I thought I would share my story since I’m still laughing about it. It’s really quite a funny  little story and proves how weirdly shy I am and nervous when talking to men. I was with my mom at home and we decided to go out and I was just discussing with her how I needed to get rid of my sofa by Friday when I get my new sofa, well used sofa that is because it’s not new.

I know the thrift store wont take it and I was mentioning to mom how I keep running into the maintenance guy in my building and we hardly speak. I just giggle and he says hi and watch out for paint is usually how short the conversation is. ha!

So I was walking down the hallway to leave with mom and I saw the guy painting and I decided to ask him, I figured just go for it because I really need to get rid of this sofa and mom was with me so she gave me courage. Heres how it went,

Me “Hi… um… I know your just the maintenance guy and you probably don’t do this but I was wondering if you knew anyone that wouldn’t mind moving my sofa from my apartment to downstairs so I could get rid of it. I don’t know anyone so…”

Him “Is that a weird way of asking me to do it?”

Me “Um.. well yeah. I didn’t know who else to ask.”

Him “Okay.. I’ll do it for you.”

Me  “Wow.. really? “Thank you so much.”

Him “how big is the couch, a love seat?”

Me “A little bigger than one”

Him “DO you have a pen so I can give you my number since your going out. What time are you going to be back?”

Me “In about an hour… Um I think I have a pen.” Looks through purse.

He takes out a pen and finds a paper and starts giving me the number while my mom  talks about how I have three other kids after he asked about Niki and how old he was and then he mentioned how he has two girls and the situation with his ex etc and mom was chatting about mine and how i have three others etc.

Okay so then I get the number and we are all talking now about other stuff like custody and kids and ex’s and then  I hand back the pen and paper and he tells me to give him a call when I’m back so he can come get the sofa. I say okay and mom and I go to leave when I realize I don’t know where I put the paper with his number on it so I am like,

“Wait… where did I put the number.”

Him “Did you give it back to me?”

He checks and realizes I did and gives it back and says, “you probably took my pen and gave me the number back.”

Me “Did I?”

Then we both laugh and then I leave.

Then he came to get sofa later after I called and he’s like, “This isn’t a love seat.”

Hahahaha

The sofa is so big and bulky I can’t even believe he got it out of here. What a funny little story. I still can’t belive the way I asked him, “Is that a weird way of asking me?” hahahaa

One thing you should know about me is I aint one to ask for things. I kind of hint at what I need or want and hope the other offers to avoid having to really ask. I am not sure why, I just don’t  want to ask and I  find it really difficult to. hahaha

Oh and then he  was very surprised when he found out I was almost 28 and when he thought I was 16. Rofl

I just said “I’m immortal” and he responded, “A vampire?”

I said, “yes.” and that was pretty much the last thing besides where he told me to put the cushions when I take them down.

I am so glad and relived the couch is gone. 🙂

The Ugly Couch is gone!

The ugly couch is gone, the ugly couch is gone, Lord have mercy the ugly couch is gone!

I ran into a nice guy who works in my building who does maintenance and I asked him if he wouldn’t mind taking my couch out and bringing it downstairs and he did it for me. Thank goodness because the thrift store refused to take it away because it isn’t in very good shape at all. 🙂

I am so happy it is gone and now I can get a new one on friday 🙂

I still have to get rid of the cushions though, but that wont be hard to do. 🙂

Niki’s making good use for it for now though 🙂

Hahaha he’s very entertained playing with mama’s keys on it 🙂

My New Desk

Today my new desk comes, though I wont be able to set it up until I move in which is fine. I really like it, it’s going to be a pleasant upgrade, now all I need to figure out is how to get my new couch home from the store and also get my office chair and some how bring it home as well. I don’t drive or know anyone with a truck so it’s going to be pretty hard to do, but I suppose I could look in the paper for someone to help. I just don’t want to spend a lot on delivery when the couch is already like 400. That’s just the long sofa, I eventually want the matching love seat, but one step at a time. Eventually I will have the furniture I’ve always wanted and have a happy little home. Home should be an expression of yourself and mine hasn’t been ever because I’ve always had to get what I can afford instead of what I really want, but that’s going to change. I believe it will and I have faith and I’m going to focus on making a comfortable wonderful home of my dreams out of my small not so great apartment and make the best out of it. I’ll paste a picture of my desk below, perhaps I can find a sofa online that looks like one I want. I doubt it, but I’ll check.

Nope I couldn’t find a good enough picture that gives the sofa I want, justice. You will just have to wait to see it in a video or upcoming blog.

What Will It Be

Today I am suposed to find out whether I have that other place and if I do I get to put a deposit down and if I don’t I get another stressed out feeling and have to look some more through the slim pickin’s list. Once I finally get a place I’ll feel better because I can then start to ease my mind of the other stress that goes with moving, but until then it’s just more stress after each place that says no or looks completly horrible. Like I still have that gheto looking place that doesn’t mind me living there, but come on. “GOD, are you seriously going to put me in there?”

I mean the one I looked at yesterday was decent and a nice area and people were so friendly to each other, not so much to me, but they were still friendly. I don’t like stuck up people. Ha! think their better when we’re equal. There was this coffee shop I told you about in my last blog across the street where I filled out my application which was a cozy little place to hang out. I didn’t much like the lady that worked there because she snarled at me, but I think it’s cause she thought I was a young mother. I over heard her talking with her co-worker about kids etc…

They don’t realize I’m 27.

That’s why you should never judge by a cover, even still though, you should just never judge because it ain’t our place to. After all, would you like someone judging you? “Nah, Uh!”

Today I’ve got to do my laundry some time and maybe get that shirt I wanted the other day but couldn’t because I almost passed out because I’m anemic. Needed me an iron pill. I’m good now, I just need to remember to take them when I require them.

The shirt I want was red plad and long sleeved. It was kind of Bella Swan look from twilight, but I like that kind of stuff. 🙂

I’m going to get my new desk soon, so that’s going to be exciting, that’s something good. Perhaps the clouds are going to start lifting and sun will shine on me? It’s a really nice desk, I’ll show you. http://www.jysk.ca/furniture/home-office-furniture/office-desks/felix-computer-desk.html

It’s at that link, no be afraid, it’s not a virus. :)-

Let me know what you think of it. I figure, it’s really nice and big enough for my printer and computer and has a lot of shelving and storage on it, which is handy. 🙂

I wont be setting it up until I move into my unknown place though. There’s no point doing it here when it has to go for a ride to another world, now is there.

It’s breakfast time and I’m starving, I haven’t been sleeping good lately, so it makes my body wake up sooner and therefore I get hungry earlier. I am going to have me some yummy sausage and eggs scrambles with broccoli, green onion and a tiny bit of cheese whiz. “Don’t ask” It’s something I just threw together yesterday and enjoyed it. I do that a lot with food. :)- “It sure was good though.”

Searching

It’s so hard to find an apartment or basement suite to rent from because I have a cat or I’m not quiet like they ask because I have a child and the fact that I sing a lot. I don’t believe that’s quiet, Ha! I’m hoping to move soon but it’s not looking so good. I found a few I’m really interested in but their always followed by a, “NO” or even no response at all which is kind of harsh because they can at least say no. Or better yet say something more kind before they say no.

I hate moving, I used to love it when I was younger but back then I wasn’t the one searching and setting things up like trucks and what not so it’s understandable why I liked it. All I had to do was unpack my stuff when I got to it. Though I also helped load my boxes in and out of the truck, I liked doing that but back then my brother would take them from my hands and say their too heavy. I was the princess of the family. Ha! “Don’t dent a nail.” Well not quite that kind of princess, this isn’t legally blond. More like, “You might hurt yourself.” Then I’d sit by the truck and get passed bags to bring in, but only if they were pillows or blankets, Ha!

Little do they know I lifted a double bed box spring and mattress when I was 17 over my head and leaned it against my bedroom wall every day so I could create dance routines. Ha! Also when I was 23 I set up a huge glass table by myself and that glass was very heavy. I mean so heavy I needed help so I got my chair one and two to help me out. Isn’t that an image? they were good helpers besides the fact that they kept sliding from the weight of the glass when I tried lifting it onto the frame. That must have taken me a half our or so to get that glass up there, but I did it. With out a scratch on me, ha! I mean the table. 😉

So here I am to move again and into a smaller place which might be nice, maybe I’ll feel a bit safer in a smaller place, I used to like my last place cause it was small, though I hated the laundry and the no storage part because my living room was my storage room and that was bad. I hated that immensely because it made clutter and I am one of those people who hates me some clutter. Ha!

Hopefully soon I will find a really good place to live and I can get some new furniture I need for it, Sofa, Tv, Tv stand, new table and chair, a desk, two dressers and a freezer.

Oye and it wouldn’t be bad to have some night stands for my bedroom. I really need to invest in a bedroom set one of these days. I’ve never actually had a set before. The kind of sofa I want and have always wanted is a red leather one with a matching chair. Mmm I dream of that.

On a Mission

So my mommyboo called, yes that is in fact my mom, I created the mommyboo long ago and now everyone uses it for her in the family. (Strokes beardless chin) “Wee”

There’s a nice dining room table set I’ve got to see she says so I thought I would take a sprint down there and a break from frustration with my closed legged virgin and take a little peep at the legs of that table. <“I just made that sound very naughty, but it was entertaining wasn’t it?”

================================================================

So I am back from my mission that failed. It wasn’t a very nice table, well it was okay, it just wasn’t what I had in mind for my table. It was a very loud mission to say the least, my son kept roaring like a lion every time we entered a store. Some days he does good and some days I have to get the hell out of the store because he just wont hush. I did manage to go to one store to get some snacks and juice for later, but I can’t say he didn’t roar in there. Cause he did. Ha!

Rawrrrrrrrrrrr
