No school!  Basically no work!  Wahoo!

My parents decided that this weekend we were going to take a trip to Ethan Allen to order my new bedroom furniture that I picked out last year.  Once we got there we showed my dad and brother (who’d never seen the furniture) what we were ordering and my mom gave my dad a chance to veto it.  He didn’t.  Then we started discussing bedding and whatnot.  We eventually decided we’d think about it.

Sunday was spent cleaning out my room so I wouldn’t have too much stuff once my new furniture gets here.  Most of my clothes hadn’t been sorted since 6^th grade, so we got rid of a ton of stuff.  Mom claimed that my brother and I don’t have any long-sleeved shirts.  I told her it’s because we have a ton of lightweight jackets.  My closet, trundle, and desk still need to be cleaned, but other than that we’re done.  That’s actually less than half of my room.  Plus I’ve already started on my closet and most of the stuff in my closet and trundle just need to be stored.

Yesterday in the Sunday ads I was looking at the bedding when I decided that I needed a picture of the Canon Powershot S5 IS, the "chosen one" of all the camera's I researched to replace my two-year old Nikon Coolpix L3.  It's so beat up that you can't even read the model on the front.  But really I just wanted a better quality camera because I know that I'm going to be using it a lot within the next few years, and the grainy pictures just weren't cutting it for our yearbook, you know?  So anyways...lol...I needed the picture for my "Wish Board," an idea stolen from "The Secret." (See Currently Watching, b/c I saw the DVD with my mom.  I'll read the book eventually.)  It just so happened that the universe was working in my favor (you'll have to understand The Secret to get that) because the camera was $100 off at OfficeMax on Labour Day weekend.  We found out that they honored competior's coupon's at OfficeDepot, and that was closer, so we went there instead.  We also found the perfect bedding (which also included 2 sham covers and a bedskirt) at Dillard's for half off, along with 3 Euros and 1 small square pillow:

My grandparents are spending the afternoon here today.  Dinner is going to be in about an hour, maybe sooner.
