Social Butterfly
Time: 10:47pm
Mood: Sleepy...
Song of the moment: Peter, Bjorn & John - Young Folks
My friend Hector (from my Mac days) was in town this week, and he finally called me to go out today :) I havn't seen this guy since I left Mac, and he moved out to Calgary for work, so it was great to see him again. We decided to meet at Second Cup in the Yonge and Sheppard area (a mid-point for the both of us). While I was waiting on the street corner for him to show up, I see this guy walking across the street that looked an awful lot like Tom, Jimmy's best friend (and his Best Man). As he approached I realized it was him! haha! Small world! Apparently he just got out of a job interview. So we chatted a bit, then he went on his way...
Finally Hector and his friend Carlos show up :) It was so great seeing him again.. we talked about all the fun times we had up in our office (all the pratical jokes we played, and the fights w/ dragonboat paddles, tennis/squash/badminton raquets we had... LoL fun times!). While I was talking to him, I hear someone call my name - it was my old classmate Jamey! Small world indeed! LoL I felt so popular! hahah! What are the odds of meeting these ppl from different parts of my life in this one little street corner?

My "Pretty Woman" Moment
Time: 9:24pm
Mood: Happy
Song of the moment: The Arcade Fire - Keep The Car Running
Jimmy and I finally have our first piece of bought furniture - a kitchen table. Purchasing this table was the cause of my "Pretty Woman" moment. Before you start assuming I whored myself to a rich guy for the table (my co-workers thought that was the reason why... I should have known that was going to happen b/c they're GUYS, and only GIRLS would remember this particular scene, as it is usually their favorite moment of the movie):
So I went to Leons Monday afternoon and saw a kitchen table I liked, but I didn't like the shape of the glass top (it was square, i wanted round). So the sales guy said he could sell me the round glass top from another set b/c on the tag of the other table the glass top was a separate item on the inventory list. What I had to do was buy the set I wanted in full, then pay extra for the glass.
After work, I took Jimmy to a different Leons, talked to the sales guy about what I wanted to do...and he said no, he couldn't' do that.. and that he's been working there for 7 years and he's never done something like that before.. blah blah blah. So I told him about this other Leons store that offered this to do this for me.. he went to talk to his manager about it. He came back and said his manager said no.. and that he tried really hard to convince his manager. When I told him I was going back to the other store.. he says "go ahead.. but u can't do it" .. cocky SOB!
I went back to the first Leons store yesterday, and I ended up getting the table w/ the extra glass top, but I had to go pick it up at the store I went to w/ Jimmy the night before. When I got there, I saw the sales guy that helped me... so I said "hi.. remember me? I wanted that kitchen table w/ the separate glass top.. you said I couldn't get it.. guess what?" and I waved my receipt at him. LoL! Then.. that retard had the nerve to say "oh, so why didn't you talk to the manager?" *grr* I said "well, you told me you went in to talk to the manager, and that you tried really hard and you still couldn't convince him"
You work on commission right? Big mistake... big mistake!!

Moving In
Time: 11:11am
Mood: Exhausted
Song of the moment: Take That - Patience
This past month has been absolutely mad - and it's all because of the house! We finally have possession of the house... Jimmy and I are homeowners! Exciting but scary - and extremely expensive! We throw down at least $1K a week just buying stuff for the house. We moved in this weekend, but we have no furniture - just my old bed, the tv and our appliances. We don't have a kitchen table yet :S We bought a couch 2 weeks ago, but it's not coming for another two weeks. We've been sitting on those fold-out lawn chairs for now! haha!
I love the house! But I'm still not completely comfortable here. I think that will take a while. All my stuff is still in boxes and I have no idea where to put my stuff in an organized manner. Yesterday was move-in day, and it was absolutely exhausting. I spent most of my day driving around and buying stuff we need for the house - garbage bins, step ladders, paper blinds, vacuum cleaner (which I absolutely love! I spurged and bought a Dyson vac! I remember my coworker talking about it... when I got to Sears, the sales lady told me it was one of the best vacuums you can get). We've had a few visitors over the past few days and I've been having fun giving house tours :) Flo has already claimed her room! LoL :)
I've been doing so much cleaning. It's so hard keeping a house clean in a dusty area. My area is still a construction site, and we don't have our grass yet. The clean-freak in me has definitely ben on full force - I won't stop until the bottoms of my socks stay white! haha! Thank God for Swiffer!
Anyway... back to cleaning... I'll take some pics once the couches come in :)
