Our parents have always told us that we try to pack too much into one weekend. This weekend was no exception and in honor of Mother’s Day we’ll both admit that “Mom, you’re right.” 🙂
I’m too exhausted to type out the details right now but here is a quick run down:
Friday- movers finished everything around 3:30pm, ran into Melissa on the elevator (!!!), finished unpacking a few boxes before Bo arrived home, explored LIC/Queens as we ventured to Best Buy to buy a new flat screen for the bedroom (see pics from Saturday am post), worked like mad people for from 7:30-9 organizing and unpacking, ordered dinner from SHI which was cheaper and better than the sushi we used to get in NYC, watched Rendition for an hour before falling asleep.Saturday and Sunday- We went ALL over NYC yesterday exploring places such as ABC Capet, Carlyle Custom Sleepers, Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, Bed Bath and Beyond, Williams Sonoma, and more! We accomplished the following:
-Ran NYRR Mothers Day 4 mile race in Central Park together talking the whole way! I improved my time by 3 seconds since January which was dissapointing but they changed the course and we had some major hills!
-Ordered a custom sleeper sofa and overstuffed chair from Carlyle Custom Sofas which will arrive on May 23rd!
–Malika Rug from Pottery Barn – originally $699 but marked down 40% since the Pottery Barn Bed and Bath is being renovated next month and they’re trying to move product
-2 yellow throw pillows for the bed from Pottery Barn
-4 awesome baskets for our “dead space” above the kitchen cabinets. These are already holding our rarely used kitchen items such as baking supplies and seasonal things.
-20 container store tupperwares that all match
-1 Crate and Barrel entertainment center
-1 huge Brita Water filter container for the fridge
-1 bread knife as our Wustoff one was lost by his old roommates
-blue and white striped shower curtain
-4 amazingly soft Ralph Lauren Blue towels and hand towels from Macys on super sale!
-1 set of 800 ct sheets in light yellow/tan
-coaxial cable/cable hider/etc to set up the living room tv and hide the ugly cables from Home Depot
$37.93 Raised so far people are so generous!
Thank you!!!
