Impulse Buying

[plumtreeblossom]

Yesterday while on an innocent errand to the supermarket in Porter Square, 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!) 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. 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.

I’ll do my best to bring some stuff to anchor it on Wednesday. How far from the wall is it (the top half)?

Me too, but if they let me read everything Pratchett has ever written in one go, there might be serious medical and psychiatric consequences, so maybe it’s just as well I have to go to work every now and then.

*Smooches!*

Hi sweetielove. It's about 1.5 inches from the wall.

It *might* be possible to swap it's place with the green chair, which may give it clearance from the wire casing. I'll check when I get home if that's possible. Can't remember if Chris already checked.

Thank you so much for your help, sweetie! That's the reason why I... [CENSORED!]

If anyone else is interested in those bookcases, they've actually been on sale for a month, and probably won't disappear too quickly. They are very cool bookcases, and it's a great deal.
