Oh what a day we had!

Hola Folks,

Today was quite the day for Josh and me. First we started with a lovely pancake breakfast…most of you probably don’t know this but almost every weekend Josh makes me pancakes for breakfast. He has a special pancake skill that makes them taste like restaurant pancakes…not the brick like ones from home. Super delicious!!!!!!!

After breakfast we decided to take on the task getting a new a mattress, mainly due to the fact that my mattress has a very large divet in the middle and when we sleep we end up rolling in on each other. Not so much fun. So we went and got this scan thing done at the Sit n Sleep. Its kinda weird. You go in and lay on this mattress thing they have that scans your body and tells you what sort of mattress you need…its pretty rad really because it allows you to not have to lay on five thousand mattresses to find what you need. We tried out like ten and then found “the one” and bought it….WOO HOO!!!! But here’s the thing…in the purchasing of a new mattress we decided to get the California King. Thing thing is HUGE!! Its going to be soooooooooooooo nice! SO…the upgrade in size of the bed means NEW BEDDING!!!! Which leads us to our next adventure of the day…….

THE MALL!!! Yup you got it…I got Josh to go to a mall. Of course this meant we had to go to the Sears tool department first and buy him some new fun things, but soon after we were rocking the Macy’s bedding department with full force. We picked out the most awesome green bedding set. Now to Josh bedding means a “bed in a bag” from Walmart, and to me it means paying lots of money for everything individually. So when Sparky over here realized that just a fitted sheet alone cost around $80 on sale he about wet himself. Once he got over that and the sales woman and I explained to him how much more comfortable he will be in the end (aka 600 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets) he got over it. So, after we piled up everything we needed and wanted to make up the bed (sheets, pillow cases, shams, dust ruffles…none of which he has any idea what it is) went to pay for it and ooops card is declined….well shit! So I call the bank to find out whats happened because I knew full well that the money was in there. They told me that my account was coming up has being flagged as “fraud” so I verified who I was and that the purchases were approved and they popped back saying “sorry you have money but you can’t use it due to a limit on your debit card” to which I replied “if your going to impose a new limit on my spending don’t you think you should INFORM your customers” uh yeah…what a douche! OH and did I mention that this was all AFTER I had waited for a half hour in line with people hating me for taking up the register. You know I have made a million purchases when there was no money in my account and now that I can actual cover a bedding purchase they won’t let me!!!! So Josh and I run back to the house to get a checkbook and when we return she runs the check through and wait…wait….wait….DECLINED! HOLY MOTHER OF BANKING GOD!! Josh and I call the company who declined the check…turns out that it was declined because I had never written a check to Macys before…..uh seriously! I was SO SO SO angry by this point. I have the money and these bastards won’t let me spend it. I finally decided to apply for the credit card which thankfully was approved and now we have all kinds of fun bedding….but Good god what and ordeal.

Then we decided to drive out to Thousand Oaks to look at Jetta’s. I’m getting a new car soon and the Jetta was a front runner….now after the amazing test drive…I’m sold! This car is so so so rad. I will go back in a couple weeks and get it….YAY!!!!

On the way back home we stopped at a restaurant called Famous Daves. Its a BBQ place somewhere in the middle of TO and here. I had never had BBQ before and man was I missing out. This place is AMAZING!!! Ribs and catfish on the same plate…..soooooooooooo delicious.

More importantly than anything else today though was the conversation that Josh and I had on the way to TO. We have officially decided to move in with each other. I’m so excited. I hope he is too.

Well I suppose I have bored you all to tears with our day…it may read boring, but it was anything but. I have to go play with my new bedding now

Katie
