10 DAYS!

Quite a bit happened today, and I'm starting to feel the stress!  I called around to two cable companies and carpet cleaning companies today, and decided who I am going to use (Cox and Stanley Steemer in case anyone was really interested...).  I also spent about 45 minutes on the phone with my home warranty company trying to get the policy transferred and renewed; unfortunately almost every person that works there is an utter idiot, so it was pretty complicated process (plus, this is the third time I've called in a week!).  Either way, everything got squared away; now just have to find an alarm guy and get the utilities switched over...

I also turned in my massive amount of credit card points in for a $50 Home Depot gift card (for paint, etc.) and a $50 Kohl's gift card (for kitchen/bath stuff...or clothes haha).  $100 isn't much, but it will help!

I keep going back and forth with the bedroom furniture and new bed; this is something I want, but not something that I need to move in.  My mom keeps urging me to wait at least a month before forking over a grand for all this stuff, and she is probably right, but I WANT IT NOW!  Anyone who knows me well knows that I: 1) have an impulse purchasing problem 2) have zero patience to "wait" for things I want and 3) do not want to put anything off, especially with this house.  However, I need to be careful, because money does and will go quickly if I'm not careful...  I really need to make a priorities list, but it just seems so hard to figure out what is more important that something else...

I think we all saw this one coming, right?
