Pretty

I came into a little bit of money recently and along with paying off a significant chunk of my student loans, I've decided to put some money into beautifying my wonderful home. Jason and I ordered a new (red!) sofa and loveseat at Bassett Furniture the other day which should be arriving in 4 to 6 weeks. I can't wait! I also picked out some ceramic tile for our kitchen and entryway and had someone from Home Depot come out to take measurements on Tuesday. And yesterday I picked up a new area rug at Pier 1 Imports that I absolutley love. I not only got it on sale but also applied for a Pier 1 card so they knocked another 10% off the price, saving me a total of $125! I love bargains. Unfortunately, our biggest tubbiest cat, Sailor-Po, thought we bought him a new scratching post so he dug into it as soon as i laid it out- prompting me to immediately call the vet and schedule him to be declawed on Monday. I simply cannot take that anymore- especially now that we're getting new furniture. The other cats will follow in the coming weeks but Po is the worst offender so he gets the honor of going first.

Anyway, my rug will be rolled up until his claws come out but I took a picture of it first since I think it's so purdy. As you can tell, I enjoy bright colors.
