Friday Ty and I headed to Wal-Mart to find a couple of Wii games. No such luck. They had been picked over. So instead we picked up a movie from Redbox. I have to say The Hangover was even more funny the second time around.
Saturday I have been wanting a comfy, curl up and read a book chair for our living room. I was perusing Craigslist and came across a listing for a furniture auction. I was intrigued and tried to get Ty to come with me, but he is lame and was studying. I had no idea what to expect from this place. It was a huge warehouse filled with gorgeous furniture. They auctioned off everything piece by piece.

I ended up serving a cheese, cracker & grapes tray, pork chops, roasted potatoes, green beans, salad, bread and chocolate chip cookies. Turns out I have no idea how to cook for more than 2-3 people. I have a ton of leftovers!

I cannot wait to see the Hangover again. It was seriously the funniest movie in 2009!!!
ReplyDeleteI love those big curl-up chairs! They make a cozy day just perfect. I hope you find one soon! :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love a new couch like the one in your picture!
ReplyDeleteThat furniture is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to an auction but I think that would have been fun just to see it happen in person (as opposed to on TV).
LOVE the furniture!! I would be SO scared at an auction haha. I feel like I'd have to yell so loud!
