Marty messed up his back pretty badly on Friday. A 2:30am trip to the emergency room had him written off of work for two days. Of course, he only took one off. Better than nothing, I suppose. He is still taking the loopy pills, and luckily was scheduled off today and tomorrow.
Before all of this, I went to a few thrift stores. I found a King sized down duvet for $5!!! Oh yeah! I laundered it yesterday (more on that later) and it is bright white, fresh smelling and quite puffy now.
Since Marty was injured, I declared Saturday a mental health day and went yard saleing with Emily. I found a couch for the basement($5), dining room chairs ($30), curtains and hardware for the dining room windows ($5), camo bean bag chairs (free) ... and a bunch of other miscellaneous stuff.
Funny story about the chairs. On Friday, Emily and I were on our way back to my house and passed a yard sale. As we turned around to park, I saw these gorgeous chairs. As we were walking up the the yard, a woman walked away with them. Ugh! So... on Saturday we want to a yard sale where there was two table/chair combos. I asked the woman if she would sell just the chairs, and she said only on the one set because two of the chairs weren't in great shape. I thought about it for a second and decided I didn't want to buy 2 broken chairs with the set. At the very next yard sale, they had 4 chairs that matched the two I had just left almost exactly! I bought them and then ran back to the other yard sale and bought the two. I paid $5 for each chair. So once I finish the 9 million other things I have to do, I will paint and recover them. I think I am going to paint them black and use the same fabric that I recovered the other ones with. What do you think?

I used to have 2 of those EXACT same chairs!
Looks like the move is going well Krista! Congratulations!
I can't wait to paint them. I think I am going to do black chairs to match the black table. I was never really sure about the white chairs, you know?
