Weekend número uno

I moved into my very own apartment! My first weekend was very exciting and if every week is as eventful it will be an interesting experience for sure. I have some great friends, aka Nathan, Whitney, Daron,  Liz, Logan, and Jeff (who let me barrow his truck) that were willing to help me. We only had to leave a few things behind for me to go back and pick up. Nothing too important, a mirror, a cooler, a few pictures. After we got all my stuff in the new pad I started looking around and realized that having all the furniture you could possibly want in a bedroom and moving that into an apartment leaves it a little lacking. As in; lacking a sofa, lacking a coffee table, lacking an area rug, lacking pots and pans, and lacking many other kitchen supplies, lacking a shower curtain, lacking a bath mat...but don't worry I had plenty to hang on my walls. So, project A - get a sofa. I had a budget of $20 and Nathan with his grandpas truck. What else could a girl need? The truck was being used by the grandpa. The back up plan - Jordon with his brothers truck. So what if Jordon lives in Salt Lake and the truck was in Farmington and the sofa was in Ogden? Not a big deal. We can do this. Task 1; find a sofa within by budget. Thank you Savers! The sofa is comfortable and will look great in my apartment. Task 2; get the truck to the parking lot. All I had to do for that one is agree to go to poker night. I can totally squeeze that in between the unpacking and working. Task 3; get the incredibly helpful Savers staff to help load the sofa, that was only $10 P.S., into the truck. Good thing I have Jordon the biggest sweet talker I know with me. Task 4; get the sofa into my apartment. This may be the only time I have been grateful to have smokers for neighbors. And once again, good thing Jordon is a good sweet talker. I didn't have to lift a finger this whole project! Once again, Jordon thanks! You are seriously the best or if you prefer, you are my #1! My apartment is so much more livable with a sofa.  Project 2- buy a shower curtain. Task A; find the time to go to the store to buy the shower curtain. I know that should be easy but here is my time line; Wednesday - move and start unpacking, Thursday - wake up late and work from open to close then continue to unpack go to the store and buy things for the kitchen and totally forget about the bathroom things, Friday - wake up late work open to close go straight to Jordon's for poker night. I couldn't wait any longer so I was stopping on the way home from Jordon's! Task B; find a store. Don't worry i had gps on my side. Task C - be awake and alert enough to remember what I was stopping to buy. I made it to the check out with the curtain and the curtain rod. Task D - hang it up. I got rod in only hitting myself in the head once. I ripped open the curtain to realize I have no hooks. Great. I CANNOT go to work one more day without a shower! Also I am way way too tired to go out again I mean it is 1:30 am at this point. Task E- find a solution. The real problem is that my tub does not have a stopper so a shower is my only option. Time to get creative. I could drape it over the rod but there would be a gap and water would get everywhere. I could use something to temporarily attach it to the rod but what? Most of my stuff is still packed. I could find something else as a stopper and take a bath. Perfect. I try to use a hair product bottle as a stopper and it is the perfect size but water is still draining so i try the corner of the curtain but it just floats up. Ah ha! The corner of the curtain with the hair product bottle keeping it in place. Mission accomplished. No time to blow dry. i need sleep. Saturday - look and look and look for an outlet in the bathroom to no avail work open to close than go and buy rings and take a real shower the look and look and look for an out let in the bathroom to no avail. Man it would be nice to have a mirror in a room with an outlet. Also, seriously!? No outlet in a bathroom? I mean I know this place is old but not too old for electricity. When was that invented again? Was it invented or discovered? Either way I don't ask for much, but I would really like an outlet in my bathroom. In fact,  if I could only choose one room to put an outlet in I think it would be the bathroom. Sunday aka Project 3 - get ready for church. My hair is a mess man it would be nice to have an outlet in the bathroom or a mirror in the outlet room. Look at hair in bathroom. It looks bad. Go to bedroom. Try to fix it. Look at hair in bathroom. It looks bad. Go to bedroom to use straightener more. Go to bathroom to check hair.  Look up in aggravation/exasperation/ frustration/ and many other ations. SUCCESS!!! Holy Hanna who put that outlet on the bottom of my bathroom light fixture? Ahh... I guess I can handle living on my own.
