Impulse Buying

Yesterday while on an innocent errand to the supermarket in Porter Square, [livejournal.com profile] beowabbit and I detoured into Tags (a small Home Depot-ish store). As it happened, we'd dropped in on a day when they were offering a very special deal on lovely wooden shelving units they'd acquired -- just $19.99 for 4-level shelving that ordinarily went for $50+. We bought six. :-)

Two were for me, and he gallantly schlepped them up the three flight of stairs to my treehouse. (Thank you, sweetie!) [livejournal.com profile] vanguardcdk set about the nasty business of moving the TV/DVD player and it's complicated wiring to another part of the room, and got one of the new shelving units set up. I set in to shoveling nine years of accumulated crap around, some of it going into a box that got hauled to the curb. [livejournal.com profile] beowabbit is going to secure the upper unit to the wall (they're stackable!) and we will finally have a proper place for all our books, while optimizing seating room.

I have a stereo for sale -- $50. It has a 5 CD changer, AM/FM, and a cassette player for you old-schoolers. Perfect condition; I just never use it. Can post pix.

I hate when I'm engrossed in a really riveting novel, and my reading is interrupted by little annoyances like having to go to work. Want to be reading. Really riveting novel = God Is Dead by Ron Currie, Jr.
