I have furniture!!!!!
My apartment now looks like someone actually lives there, my DVD’s, CD’s and books are up off the floor, though not arranged in any meaningful order yet 😉 As soon as the desk arrives (should be tomorrow) I’ll post some decent pictures of the whole thing. The only disaster was the CD storage unit I got from IKEA – I put it together, after having a few drinks at 1 a.m. and managed to essentially put all the shelves int he wrong way so that the screws are visible – uh oh. Anyway, once full of CD’s you can’t see the screws, so not too much of a disaster 
The sofa/couch is ordered too, now all I need is a lazy boy and I’m sorted – should be going to the lazboy store tonight/tomorrow night to take a look at the options there.
Of course none of this would be possible without the arrival of my lovely girlfriend who can drive while she is here. She’s also pretty nifty with a screw driver and allen key Right now I believe she is amusing herself in Leesburg Outlet mall while I “slave” away in work. Speaking of slaving, I better get back to it…..
