My first Purchases for "US"

Hey everyone. So if you didn't know, last year when I moved in we had no furniture. My roomate John had a friend with a bunch of stuff in storage, and we worked out a deal for him to "store" it at our place. He lent us his dining room table n chairs, desk, tv, dvd player, vcr, and vacuum. Well, he moved away last week, so we've been scrappin it again eating on the floor and stuff. But, not anymore. So I've kinda been this spend-aholic lately but have been getting some really sweet deals. You know I've never bought furniture, so this is a whole new experience, and I loved it. I think the most exciting part about it is the fact that I'm buying them for Connie and I. Well, hopefully I suppose.

So we began moving everything out into the U-haul and John called to ask his buddy if he could buy the vacuum. His friend just gave it to him, and then asked John if anyone would want to buy the tv. We had just loaded it in the car and John told me his friend was selling it for $200. With only 10 minutes to decide, and completely exhausted from moving it all out, I made a compulsive purchase and offered him $175. You know that I'm not good at spending money without thinking heavily on it. He took it, so we went back out and moved it all back in. That was for the tv and stand, but his friend threw in the dvd and vcr too. It's a stinkin big tv, but I figure Connie (we) will enjoy watching her Survivor and The Amazing Race on it. That's the first deal.

Then last week I found this dining room table on Craig's list (kinda like an online garage sale) for $75 dollars. Went over today to look at it, and it's in sweet condition. My buddy with the truck fell through so I decided to make a couple trips in my car. Well, turns out with my master action jackson stacking skills I was able to get the table, extra leaf, and all six chairs in my car!! Pretty much amazing. And, the lady asked for only $65 cause I was such a poor sweet college kid. Rockin' good deal eh? Gotta love the charm too.
