Ugg this is frustrating!

The early part of today was spent cleaning.  I am loving our new vacuum cleaner, though let's face it, how doesn't love to vacuum :)  The afternoon and early evening Carsten and I spent looking at furniture. We only went to two stores and somehow that took up roughly 6 hours.  In the end we bought nothing.  I know, I am as surprised as you (note the sarcasm).  As usual, we found lots of things we like, are concerned about the cost of everything and realized that what we want to get for the bedroom doesn't really fit in terms of the space we have.  We also found items for our dining room and living room and we were quoted a cheaper price than we obtained from another store one month earlier for the same items.  So, perhaps next week we will get those.  Whatever we decide to get, it appears that the mean wait time is 8 weeks.  What that means to me is that it will be summer before I am sleeping in a proper bed and not just a mattress on the floor!
