Holy Moly, the lotto is up to 300 million! OK, here’s what I did over the weekend. Friday Night, I got things kicked off by watching MASH on DVD. I like that movie a lot. Saturday, I woke up and cleaned/rearraranged my apartment. I really cleaned everything. The cat hair alone took over an hour! What was once on the left side of my apartment, is now on the right. I also put in my air conditioner. And I cleaned my windows — I even got on the fire escape and cleaned the outside! I was like a cleaning machine. There’s only one way to top a day of cleaning — You guessed it, laundry. I drove to Nutley but something was different. The usually empty parking lot was filled to the gills with shoppers. A Kohl’s opened up. I may have to find a new place to do my laundry, the emptiness was half the charm. Don’t ask me what the other half is, ha ha.

Hypocritical! I had to get that out of my system. Sunday, I woke feeling like an adventure. I didn’t feel like spending the day solo so I picked up the phone and called my friend, Mindy. We drove to my new favorite town, Red Bank. They have a Restoration Hardware there and I was going to buy a floor lamp for my apartment. The lowest price floor lamp was $199. Crazy! That’s my lamp budget for the next five years, ha ha! We walked around, she bought some CDs, I bought a guitar tuner. We checked out some interesting and some not so interesting stores. We grabbed some Chinese food at a converted Friendly’s Restaurant — By the way, that’s the best place to get Chinese food, ha ha. From there we went to IKEA. I found my floor lamp:
