Amazing Craig's List Finds
Moving from 450 sq feet to 900 sq feet, T and I needed a few pieces of furniture. A lot less than one might expect, considering the size difference, but none the less, we needed some furniture. Our experience at Pier 1 was less than stellar, from the crazy manager asking if I was pregnant to the damage we discovered upon unwrapping the table, so we turned back to our friend Craig's List.
Why we ever looked away, I don't know.
Look at this treasure, for only $500!! Act quickly!
Seriously. Does this person ACTUALLY think they will get $500 for their horrendous mauve furniture? They can't expect that unless they throw in some wall to wall mauve carpet. Wait they have that too.
And then we have this special piece of loveliness:
Guess how much they're asking for this Laura Ashley knock off. $1,600 buckaroos. WTF. I'm not spending that much money for your USED furniture! Jordan's furniture isn't THAT nice.
But what's really funny is the armoires.
Dude. You aren't the only one who got a flat screen TV and doesn't need a huge honkin' piece of furniture to hide their huge fat TV in anymore.
You really think someone is going to pay $500 for this? Apparently you do since you've posted it here for the past month. I don't care how much you paid when you bought it originally, there's this thing in economics called "supply and demand". There's way too many armoires on the market, and way too little demand. Good luck, my friend. Good luck.
That being said, we did get a great antique dining room table for a reasonable price on Craig's List. You just have to dig through all the crap.
After all, one man's trash is another man's treasure! Or so they say.

A sideways chair! Wow, I've always wanted one of those.

Life Status
Life is delicious right now. This is likely due to the fact that I just drank a cup of hot cocoa with mini-marshmallows, ate a cookie, and nibbled on some cheese.
In other news, T and I are 95% moved in, the remaining 5% due to the lack of curtains anywhere except our bedroom. And... the second bedroom/craft room is 75% done. Unpacked, but cluttered. Maybe I can finish organizing it after I start using it... to make curtains. And a few last minute Christmas gifts.
Thank you to everyone who sent out holiday cards - our fridge is covered with adorable animals, cute kids, and a funny christmas letter from Kate! T informed me that he was not into sending out joint Christmas cards until he is married, so don't expect one from him. Or me. But know that we love you all. Even you internet peoples.
Happy Holidays! Now, time to party.

Important question
Is a 'head sweater' either:
2. A knit hat, likely with an argyle or striped pattern
Thoughts?
PS. I originally used the phrase when referring to T's head after he eats spicy foods. Then I realized that I was sooooo funny. At least to me. Because I pictured T with a sweater on his head.

- Someone whose head sweats on occasion, such as T's head after he eats spicy foods

Casey Williams vs. Jones
In case you all were wondering, us Casey Williamses WIN against Casey Joneses:
At least in Google, according to Google Fight, which I assume uses Google Insights data.
GO CASEY WILLIAMSES!!
PS. Move is going well. Still unpacking. We now have a dining room table, yeahhh! T's office is all set. My office area still needs the furniture installed --- i.e. a very heavy wall shelf from my parents made by my grandpa John.
