post://8024153020850409123/

So the opposite of not much happening has been happening - I'm wishing now I kept up on the posting. I'm going to have a hole in the whole "just got my first house" period. Most of the reason I keep a blog is for my own recollection. It's not very good on it's own, so throw a couple pictures and paragraphs together and I have a much better recollection.

Just this weekend:
- friday ~ I had off to get a tooth pulled. I actually had the gas/IV and it was awesome. It was considered "a luxery" by my insurance, and even at $225 for this "luxery" I don't think I'd recommend going without. I floated out of the office, but by the time we got back home, the novicain had worn off and it really began to hurt. I'm still a bit swolen a couple of days later but the 5mg of oxy are keeping me fine in the interim.
Later on we went furniture shopping, I was nice and fuzzy and feeling a bit stir crazy so figured why not... we went to a few local places to check out couches, chairs, and china cabinets. We've got our table and bar already picked out so we're looking for items to match. I think we found a china cabinet, but not buying just yet. We finally went to go look at matresses. We've got a bedroom picked out at Ikea, but still need a mattress. I heard about a sale at Sleepys so we looked there.
We were the only ones in the place so we got a lot of attention. They have a special bed you lay on and it gets your exact spine shape and determines the best mattress for you (and your sleep partner in our case). We found a good one, and as it turns out the sales girl was from Quaboag - so got employee pricing w/ free delivery and such to boot!

- saturday ~ Nicole's mom came out to visit for the shower on Sunday, I spent a bit of time hanging out and then headed out to Jay's to hang out for his b-day and Cinco de Mayo. It was fun, but interesting since I wasn't drinking. I had picked up Jay some XBox360 games as there was a sale on used games at EBGames. We had rented Rockstar table tennis a while back and it was awesome, when I saw it for $17 used I knew it was time. So we played that for most of the night. I also got him Prey and Tomb Raider. TR was just like the old ones - probably the best one yet. It played well and looked fabulous. I didn't get a chance to play Prey. It was ok when I played the demo for PC, and though I don't feel it would be worth full price, it was well worth it at <$20.
Mattress got delivered and dang... never knew what we were missing with a bunch of springs.

- sunday ~ Nicole's bridal shower, so now we've got lots of new stuff, appliances and such. No Wii yet, but we've got 4 controllers, at least 2 nunchucks, and Wii Play, so we'll at least have a lot of fun mini games to play with at least 4 people when we do get the Wii. The house is really coming together, and it was a great feeling to take all our old dingy towels, pans, and box everything up. Amazing what a bunch of new stuff will do ;)

We've finally got the invitations out, so you should be getting them shortly. Also we got a WAV of my nieces and nephews doing some practice for our wedding.
Take a listen!
