Why?

Why the heck is it so hard to find nice bookshelves at a price that isn’t completely ridiculous? I’m seriously contemplating buying the lumber and finding tools to just building my own *grumps*

In other news, I’m hoping to be able to pick up my new keys this afternoon or tomorrow. My leasing agent is going to walk the apartment sometime today and give me a call to let me know if it’s ready *crosses fingers*

I’d really like to be able to get started on all the fun stuff this weekend, and then start moving in boxes of books and junk — the stuff I can carry in my car. I’d like to have everything out of the old place and the utilities switched over as soon as possible. Roomie #2 (henceforth to be known as the Couch Troll — her own nickname, not one I gave her ;) ) has her move-out date set for August 4th. I don’t think roomie #1 (henceforth to be known as Promethe — he may come up a lot as he is also my ex-boyfriend and still a close friend) has a definite date, but hopefully he’s a little flexible. The sooner everything’s said and done, the better.

I may or may not be buying a 4-piece matching furniture set from someone on Facebook. It looks very nice from the pictures, and it’s only $175 for a 5-drawer dresser (with a little side-compartment thing), a tall, narrow 5-drawer unit, a nightstand, and a tv stand. That would solve my clothing storage problem (as I have no dresser at the moment), and I could give the tv stand we’ve been using to Promethe for his new place. I haven’t heard anything back from the girl who’s selling them since the initial contact was made, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that she hasn’t found another buyer yet. I sent an email this morning. If I don’t hear from her by tomorrow, I’ll probably give her a call (even though calling random strangers weirds me out a bit).
