New furniture

Hip Hip Hooray for new furniture!! We finally got our couch, love seat, and ottoman today after a little over a month's wait. We got our furniture from a store in Jackson called Miskelly's. That is the coolest store and they honestly have great prices too! Picking something out was the biggest headache! For most guys out there, they would not care what their wives picked out as long as he 1.) did not have to go with her to pick it out, 2.) it didn't cost to much money, or 3.) it could recline/comfortablity, right? Not my Bradley, he truly does care the way it feels, the way it looks and he also had to be there to pick it out! We drove to Jackson, spent the night, got up and drove about another 3 1/2 hrs to a place called Woodlands. We were told they had the best furniture and the best prices. We didn't really see much in this big warehouse so we headed on back to Jackson, back on to Miskelly's where we had been for the past 3 weekends in a row looking. We got there at 6:15 and soon realized they closed at 7. On any normal occassion I could not have picked out my furniture for the next 5 yrs or so in that time frame but being there several other times helped alot! We narrowed it down and bought it a little after 7 only to learn that they were all out in storage, but said they placed an order and we could have one when it came in. Then this lady, who said she was from N.O., told us they placed an order for 11 sets and we just so happened to be the 11th couple to come in and purchase the same furniture set as 10 other ppl. Sounds a little fishy to me that they would place an order for only 11 furniture sets and that I would get the last one!! Well to my astonishment, they called us and delivered our furniture TODAY with a week to spare!!! All of this took place a little over a month ago, just goes to show you how long I have waited and how excited I am to finally have furniture that matches!!

On a positive note, I am feeling much better. On top of having the flu, yesterday I was sick to my stomach hugging the potty. I'm guessing with all the diff. meds they have given me and the Subway sandwich it was bound to happen. Iam feeling so much better....that flu drains the snot out of you and leaves you feeling so weak but not today I am beating the flu! Sounds like I would be a good spokesperson for a flu ad, doesn't it? I will post a picture of our new couches if I get a chance, I know several of you would love to see them.

Ashley and I think you and Bradley need to take the quiz we took on her site. If only there was a question about "favorite baby-making music."
