Oy, we’ve got a lot of errands today, and then dinner later with David’s parents… about that latter item, more later.

This is one of the last two weekends before we take off for Utah, and there are a lot of doodads and things we needed for the house that we wanted to get before then.

So in mostly logical order, we’re going to Eddie Bauer at Woodfield (David), Costco (me), Bed Bath & Beyond (both of us, for a lot of house-y stuff we need to replace), Toys R’ Us (UGH!! The Hellmouth! Need to buy a gift card for a niece there), Binny’s (David needs some good English beer, I need cider, we both need wine), Valli’s Produce (odds and ends of groceries, with an international flair – all are belong to me).

The new furniture was delivered yesterday morning (at freakin’ 7 ack emma) and looks very nice indeed – it needs to be repositioned after we get back. Man, it’s comfortable, and I’d like nothing better than to spend some time sitting on it, but no joy there. Maybe tomorrow.

We’ve got a container bin full of videos and CDs that now can be stored properly in the new entertainment cabinet. Sadly, the little man that came to adjust the height of the one built-in shelf wasn’t able to make the adjustment, so we have to leave the tuner up on top. Eh, I can live with it for a while longer. Supposedly there’s another solution in the works to get all the shtuff inside. There’s apparently a cabling issue – the expensive bit of inter-component cabling – the most expensive one, naturally – is too short for us to put all the components in the side cabinet, so the tuner and TiVo have to be grouped near each other, near the TV. Hence the problem with the wrong-size shelf over the TV, that’s too small for the height of the tuner.

Furniture gripes. Jeez. My problems=hill o’ beans.

Anyway, lots of tasks and chores and shtuff to buy. Better get moving.
