Just got back from Jeju Island. It was a good trip…glad to be back in my bed. Wow, Osama Bin Laden is dead. Congratulations to the Navy Seal team for a tremendous job!
I should be getting my orders soon for San Antonio. I am buying up a storm in preparation for my move. I am still drooling over a bedroom suite that I have been eyeing since last year. My bank account took a beating after buying up a storm at a furniture auction. I bought this beautiful 100% silk Oriental carpet for $1,400. I also bought a $140 Tiffany lamp that ended up with a crack on it already (very annoyed). Lastly, I purchased a lacquer/mother of pearl trunk/chest of drawers, a leather window seat and a porcelain wine cooler. I will upload pictures later. The bedroom suite I want will probably cost about $2,500.
I still need to sell my car. I am thinking I should post a “for sale” sign by next week. I bought it for $1,300 in 2009. I think I will sell it at $1100 or $1200. It would be cool to sell it before I leave. It would offset the costs for my upcoming vacation. The only thing left to spend on that is a rental car in Chicago. It seems like the rental car prices are knocked down lower the closer you get to needing it. I refuse to pay $64 a day. I have a $100 Hertz gift certificate, but it is useless on Hotwire. Sorry, I used my points for something that if I used it would cost me more money than if I didn’t use it. Uggh!
