have i mentioned how dangerously addicted i am to calgary.kijiji.ca? i've already given a mouthful to john who introduced the website to me. it doesn't help that john's been oh so kind to help do some of the pick-ups with me and for me.

since the last post, i've bought myself a full set of dishes ($15), several pyrex glass measuring cups ($15) and 12-speed blender ($10) to start the "bake section" of my kitchen-to-be, and 2 altec lansing kickass 3-piece sound systems ($35 each) (with what-the-hell-do-you-need-that-kind-of-bass-for bass). we even picked up a long solid wood dresser for john. this one lady even threw in a few more things for me for FREE. it's not as i'll use the fancy napkin holder anytime soon, but thank you little lady nonetheless!

on my list of to gets/wants - (i've already done my research):

large L-shaped computer desk (FREE)
a floor lamp (adjustable height) ($15)
2-piece black suede sofa couch set ($200)
a propane/natural gas & charcoal BBQ grill (FREE-$50)
this certain table lamp ($25)
this dark wood with oval glass top coffee table that i fell in love with ($55)
32" HDTV flat screen TV (preferably LCD/ one that doesn't weigh a ton) ($150-$200)
11 12"x12" mirrors ($20)

all i need now is a new house to call mine. i feel like i'm nesting. haha. my big brother must be thrilled because he knows that once i'm out of calgary, he's gonna get all my beautiful furniture. (: be nice to me kor or i'll just put it out on kijiji for FREE for all the people who need it more than you do. okay, maybe not all for free... i know i'll at least be able to get $800 for the lot.

the basement i'm living in is going to go under renovation, and i've got dibs on how i want it done. how fun! (:

deep down, i know i'm gonna be a wonderful interior decorator and personal assistant to the world's rockiest rocker. i've already got those plans drawn out. if only you were here to see the transformation. i'll remember to take pictures again. love for all.
