An opinion on bedframes

Loyal readers of mine, I need your help. I saw this beautiful bed frame online at a place called jysk, and found out that there wasn’t a store near me, so I called the closest store which happens to be in Hamilton. Not cool! Shipping to deliver to my city would’ve been $130! HAH. Is that not incredible? Obviously, I said thanks but no thanks, and hung up the phone. I found a pretty close replica of the bed frame on Ikea’s website! Huzzahh, love their discount furniture. I already have a few minor things from Ikea but I need your opinion on which color bed frame I should order! I already have the black/brown coffee table which will go in my bedroom at the foot of my bed (shown on your right), but I also have a super cute mini night table (on the left and I have to add that it looks so much nicer in person) in a different brown color! Here are the shades of the bed frame shown below!

Halp! I love them all!! I was thinking the black/brown color because it’s so nice and sleek, but the first one, the medium brown color looks warm and rich. Then the light color. Well isn’t that one just wonderful too? But I doubt I’d be purchasing that once since I’ll be throwing all my design ideas right out the window. I can’t have 3 different colors of wood surrounding my bed. That would just not look nice. Anyway I’m not sure. Hmm hmm hmm..

Almost time to go

Two weeks is definitely enough time to be home. I leave in two days time, and right now I’m all about seeing my brother come home tonight. He’s delayed in Halifax airport right now and due home in 5½ hours, if they stop delaying the darn flight! I think we’re going to take it easy tonight and have BBQ hot dogs (I haven’t had BBQ ANYTHING in over a year!) and I’ve been craving hot dogs and Georgetown Bakery bread. Mouth watering delicious–ness and you don’t need anything on it. Just sink your teeth into the yummy baguette and chow down.

I haven’t done any partying since I’ve been home, with the exception of going on George Street while being the designated driver. It was a fun night, nothing too crazy. Been climbing a handful of times. Supposed to climb tonight except now that my Brother is due back earlier than I thought (thinking: midnight), I probably won’t end up going one last time. I could be tempted otherwise. Anyone? :P

Did a bit of post–christmas shopping, but didn’t really get any deals besides the purses I posted below. Got a few thin puma headbands for soccer, a newfie decal cling–on sticker for my car that I will soon purchase heh, pens from Dick’s and Company (Love that store. They sell single pens, so you can try them out and only buy ONE if you want lol—I’m a sucker for stationary/pens), got myself a Rock & Ice, climbing calendar from the climbing gym, and I think that’s basically it!

Oh man. My Mom deals with vinyl decals and stuff at work. I should do up a fancy little design like they have for sale on etsy and get some neat little designs for my room. (Don’t know what I’m talking about? Click). I had this really gross eroding sticker on my retainer case, and now I have a nice “NANCY **** 555-1234” sticker on my case. You know, in case I drop it and someone is willing to pick up a small box with two retainers on it, and call me back lol. I should totally take a picture. I need to use my new camera more! YAY.

Kind of a boring/blah update. But that’s what you get when I just sit down and write an entry un–showered, hungry and on vacation! Time for a nice long bath.

Got me a party while I’m at it too!

WELL! If it couldn’t get any better than this. My parents were feeling kinda lame since we’re all about Christmas, but they came down with bronchitis and couldn’t do a thing. Nobody has visited us, except for the equally sick neighbors. I’ve seen most of the people I wanted to see, except for JOHANNA—NEED TO SEE YOU. I think I’ll get together with her on Sunday. Anyway … my mom was telling me that I should invite some of my relatives over, so I can see them before I take off again next week. So last night I told my Mom that I wanted to see my Aunt, a few family friends and like 2 other people and I called those people and invited them. However, my Mom kept listing off people that I forgot about lol…and The List started growing and growing, and now we’ve got about 25 people coming to see me before I head back to Ontario. Gonna be a great night, and we’re definitely going to have to whip out the tv furniture that’s in the den and put it all in the living room where the fireplace and Christmas tree is. OH BUDDY. I love that my parents love to entertain.

Unfortunately for my Aunt, she wanted so bad to see my boyfriend (she too doesn’t believe that he exists, because she’s never met him.) Though, he left the province already and is back in Ontario.

Oooh, I also got some pretty wicked deals at the mall last night. Both of these Nine West purses. They’re just… gorgeous. The big one was a retail price of $115, Labels had it on for $79. The store had a 50% off sale, I showed my SPC card and got an extra 10% off. I paid $32.00 for that big one. Now, the little one? Oh, what a deal I got. Retail price: $45, Labels had it marked as $29, with a 50% off sale and my SPC card again… $13.50! HOOOOLY. I got such an amazing deal, I mean they’re Nine West! lol

Have a great saturday night! I know I will, with my Dad’s homemade wine … OWW!
