We're staying at my parent's house for the week, with H meeting us here this weekend. Unnecessary noise makes me crazy. My mom has three clocks upstairs, one in the living room, one in the dining room and one in the kitchen. All of these rooms are connected to each other. It's like a fucking metronome in here. TICK tick Tick TICK tick Tick TICK tick Tick.
I started Googling around for sofas for our basement bar area. Restoration Hardware's 20% Friends & Family sale ends tomorrow. While rational brain knows I could probably negotiate the 20% off at a future time, I'm so tempted to use the sale as an excuse to pull the trigger - so not MM. Darn.
Hey, I haven't bought my copper moscow mule mugs so at least I'm MM there?
I gave in and bought the sofa. The configuration I was looking at was actually on sale for > 20% once I called in so YAY! And, a good forcing mechanism for us to finish up the one messy task we have to complete near our bar before the sofa gets delivered!
My folks and I are looking at VRBO for a place to crash over Christmas. With my sister in the midst of a separation process and my brother's place just not fitting additional people very well, it's probably the best option for us. (we get along with my folks well, so this will not be a crazy idea)
I'm 90% sure that my folks will pay for it outright, and refuse to let DH and I pay for any of the rental. I am OK with this. SKRU for lyfe.
