Here's a real laugh H...I was checking out Target's website and they actually had some pretty nice looking stuff! Free shipping too. Worse comes to worse and I will probably be rolling the dice.

Yes, I am way to old for a futon...but I figured it would be better than sitting on the floor with my 13 inch TV...LOL.

Actually, if you pronounce 'Target' with a pseudo-French accent, it doesn't sound so bad

You're right, they do have some decent stuff. It's just, dammit, I'm 36 years old, I shouldn't have to even be thinking this you know?

Trust me...I know the feeling. I have a gorgeous decorated house with beautiful everything and now I am back to buying furniture that comes in a box and needs to be assesmbled!

Yes, I like the sound of Tar-jay better myself

I have a 20" TV I took from my garage! Yes, I had a TV in the garage, doesnt every self respecting guy who has to watch football anywhere anytime? Broke down and went a bought a flatscreen for my own sanity.

I'm with you CVA. If/when I move out, I'm seriously considering taking advantage of the no-interest deals on TVs going on just about everywhere right now and getting a high-def TV so that I can watch football. I was raised by my mom, mostly, so sometimes I dig on the chick shopping therapy.

Furniture in a box stinks. Thinking of just saving as much as possible and just buying stuff that I really like a bit at a time. Ack, why am I thinking this stuff. Go away, negativity.

How is the furniture coming along?

WAW
U out there? Just posted a big thank you on my thread for the extraordinarily nice things you said about me during my ranting and raving. I missed it cuz you had 2 posts back to back and I was frantically either writing myself or seeing other people trying to pump me up. Little did I know there was this more than flattering post just sitting there ready to make my head not fit through the door!

Anyway, how are u doin?

I just read your thank you.

My hunt for furniture is coming along very well. H actually agreed to let me have the extra TV & stand from the den (36inch tube model) so D4 can use the 13 inch in her new room. My Mom gave me a loveseat that she has in storage and ironically my old 2 person kitchen table from my single days was there too. A pal of mine just got married so she is donating all of her old kitchen wares since she has all new stuff. All in all its starting to come together...Still assembling all my IKEA stuff...basically the whole bedroom, desks, etc.

So at least the place is filling up. Granted, nothing really matches so I will be painting and getting some slip covers to pull it all together...I know its a woman thing. Its got to be functional AND look great!

I am sort of sad, my H is leaving on this big trip to LA/Vegas that we had planned together. I feel like I will never get this opportunity again but I am too afraid that 10 days on a trip with him when I don't enjoy his company as is might be the straw that breaks my back, I will feel that its completely done and over and will feel compelled to file when we get home.

Hey WAW:

I am just trying to catch up on your situation so I am quoting from a post you made about this past weekend I think and the marital counselling session.



Try and not be too hard on your H when he is in the MC session. He wants beyond anything to have things "get better". Of course he is going to try and tell himself this, even if they are not really better. I find myself doing this as well, when I talk to MIL or friends that know what is going on. I say things are getting better, even though I don't really think that they are. It somehow makes me feel better to say it.



This is something that I think you need to remind your H. You can say to him, "yes we are getting along better right now. But things are not going to change overnight or even in a month or two or three. If you want things to get better, you have to stop looking for the quick fix, because it just is not coming. And it is putting pressure on both of us that is completely unnecessary and it is only going to hurt in the long run." What does your MC say about the difference in timetables and each of your expectations? I think he or she should be trying to at least make H understand this.



So true.
