Welll, it's been a Wednesday here, but at least it means I get paid tomorrow night. (WOO!)

demeterschild, we're planning to drive down to Dayton for 'teh shoppin' on Saturday, still, so we'll give you two a call once we get to Mehndelson's. With luck we'll either find what we want for furniture there or get it from a discount place up here that didn't look too bad, either.

I surprised myself when I looked in the mirror this morning as I got ready for work. I didn't recognize myself, and it was in a good way! That's rather fun.

My dad asked if Alex and I would like to go shoot some pistol tonight over at the powder room (which happens to be not far from home at all), so we're going to go out and do that tonight after work and then head home.

In other news, feeling a very strong 'cuddly' urge, and Lisa's visit can't come soon enough. (Love you, dear. *Kiss*)

Hope everyone else is having a decent midweek.

I've decided we needed a bit more Mad Science around here. Also to take over the world.

Unfortunately, mephron must now die. You did go over to the other side, after all.

Well, what an interesting turn of things.

Alex and I were going to be meeting my dad this evening for dinner and then to go over to the Powder Room for a bit of relaxing small arms therapy.

We are now still planning to do this, but also to go down to Campus.

You see, Alex caught a student mentioning that she is moving back to Germany and therefore needs to sell all her stuff off rather quickly, NOW. Everything is apparently in quite good condition, and he was invited to take a look.

( And here is what she's offering. )

Sadly, the hover vacuum was claimed by the time we arrived at the woman's home. The death catapult shall have to wait. But, for all that, we made a good haul.

2 sets of 4 setting silverware
Electric hand mixer
4 dining room chairs
1 standing bureau/TV centre.
Queen Sized Air Mattress
Electric air pump
Comforter for mattress
2 pillows.
Sheets for mattress
15 assorted picture frames, 3 of which are now in use.
4 tumblers.
4 glasses.
4 smaller glasses.
2 pyrex mixing bowls
2 corningware casserole dishes.
4 matching coffee mugs.
2 sifters.

Needless to say, the dishwasher is quite full.

The chairs need refinished, but are otherwise wonderful, and the TV center is going to need a bit of minor modification before we can put Alex's TV into it, but is otherwise great.

Total spent? $70.

Not bad at all.

Our initial rent/deposit checks were cashed rather late because the landlady was on vacation, so the money will be a little thinner than I expected until tomorrow night when my paycheck is deposited, but I'm not too concerned about that, really.

Things work. That's what matters. And we'll still be going down to Dayton on Saturday to see if there are a few more bargains we might manage here and there.
