The Good, Bad, and Ugly
The Good:
We have the key to our new place! We are going to start moving stuff (primarily books and the furniture we got at some yard sales this past weekend) when AJ gets home from work! Then we have to unload the boxes and bring them back to the apartment so that we can re-use them. Our current place is so full of crap and boxes that we can't pack everything at once. Expect "before" pictures sometime soon!!
The Bad:
On Friday our TV broke. We got the TV when we moved into our current place as a housewarming gift from my parents, which means it is a little more than a year old. We had it mounted on the wall, but took it down last week so that we could fill the holes, sand, and paint. I'm not sure what happened during that process (or if it is at all related), but now our TV is not working. We have no picture, just sound. Also, when we turn the TV on it makes this weird hissing sound twice. Luckily my parents bought a 3 year warranty and someone is coming out to fix it on Saturday. Without a TV, we have been spending our time at home listening to the radio, playing board games, and watching movies/TV shows from Netflix on my computer.
The Ugly:
During that painting process, I also somehow got RED PAINT on my favorite Lilly sweater.
I wasn't wearing it, but it was draped on the back of a bar chair in the same room where we were painting. It is a white cardigan that I have had for 6 years that probably needed to be sent to Goodwill anyway (it is looking a little dingy in this picture), but it is so soft and comfy from years of good use that I am so sad it finally has to go.
