Furniture

After three months of living out of boxes, with stacks of clothes everywhere, I finally took the plunge and bought some bedroom furniture. Nebraska Furniture Mart was having this big sale over the weekend, with everything 50% off and the 30 months no-interest financing, so I thought it was a good deal. What a fun store! Here is a picture from the Ashley website of the furniture I bought:

In the picture it looks brown, but the color is actually black. I also bought a nice futon that has a really comfy mattress with springs in it and everything, but I don't have a picture of that. Thankfully they can deliver all of it tomorrow because my brother, Chris, and our friend Scott are all coming to stay with me for the weekend and I need places for them to sleep! I am crossing my fingers to make sure it all gets here in one piece.

Baby

Any melancholy I may have been experiencing recently due to my not being a part of the current baby plague among my best friends has officially been banished by the screaming baby that moved in next door to me in my apartment building. A little over a month ago I first heard the screaming baby on the other side of my bedroom wall. The wierd thing is, I don't hear it every night. About every other week for a few days I hear it screaming over there and I hear the parents trying to deal with it. Well, the baby is IN this week and the last two nights it has screamed until about 1:30 in the morning. This royally irks me because I did not get to sleep last night until about 2am when the parents finally got the baby to shut up. And I have the huge bags under my eyes to prove it. My dilemma is how to deal with this situation. I honestly feel sorry for the parents but at the same time it is not fair that I have to wake up every time the baby does--it's not mine! I feel like this is something I can definitely complain to the landlord about, but how do I do that without looking like a heartless witch who hates babies??? HELP. I need to sleep!!
