I bought a coffee table this weekend! Finally finally finally. So far I've been making do with two galvanized steel bins placed next to each other in front of the couch. And while they have done the job, and have given my apartment a certain industrial, loft-esque feel, I've been looking for a replacement for some time. They tended to slide around when you put your feet on them, and there was only room for one person to eat on them. So, this weekend, I took action, and bought a heavy, dark wood paneled coffee table from World Market. I can't wait to see how it looks!

This weekend has been mellow and relaxed for me. I putzed around my apartment Friday night doing laundry and cleaning my kitchen, and then Saturday was spent purchasing my coffee table and setting up my living room so that it will have a nice place to sit once it gets delivered. Saturday night I headed over to Matt and Lizzi's for an impromptu gettogether to watch some Friends, play a spiffy new game called Imaginiff, catch some of Saturday Night Livel, and just generally hang out and have a good time. It was a late night for me and I didn't get to bed until 3 or so.. but I had a great time.l :)

Today I spent my day on that most dreaded of all shopping excursions - jeans shopping. What is it about this fashion staple that makes it so bloody hard to find ones that fit, flatter your body, and cost a reasonable amount? Who on earth came up with super low ride jeans? Certainly not anyone who has ever had to find casual work-appropriate clothing before. I spent several hours trolling through Gap, Guess, J Crew, you name it. Only when I got to Ann Taylor Loft, currently my absolute favorite clothing store, did I find a pair that I liked. The only problem? There were none in my size left in stock. Not only that, but there were no more left in stock in the entire Northern Virginia region. Because I checked. Apparently the rest of the jeans-shopping pupulace discovered these perfect-fitting jeans before I did and snapped up all of them. So now I'm back at home, exhausted, and still without pants. Well, I have pants on (sickos), but just not the new pair of jeans that I desperately need. :)
