Furniture shopping

I dumped most of my furniture when I moved to the Detroit area from San Jose. Lately, I've been looking to find the cheapest and most portable temporary furniture I can find for when I have my own place again. (I'm putting the cart before the horse; I need a full-time job before I can get my own place!) I've found an inflatable bed and loveseat (no really, nothing's cheaper or more portable!), a dresser with canvas drawers, and folding bookcases that actually seem practical. I also found a folding dining table and chairs that are not so cheap, but I really like them. My mom told me where I can get cheap director's chairs. I now have a pinterest account, and I'm "pinning" my finds on there. I could furnish my place within minutes -;) It's kind of fun.

Oh, and Harlee likes to lie on a down cushion on one of my mom's chairs, so I promised that I'd make her a down cat bed when I have my own place. Of course, I need to learn to sew first -;) I do have a sewing machine though.

My Sweet Girl Is Back

Harlee is back home. She had to have a few teeth extracted, so she's on pain meds. She started meowing as soon as she smelled me at the vet -;) She was really agitated when she first got home, but now she's settled down on her chair and is half-dozing.

Adrienne's Test Kitchen

I made Fettucini in Walnut Sauce tonight. It's the first time that I've really cooked in years. (Generally I just microwave stuff.) It was pretty good; my mom and I discussed how I could improve it next time. Now I'm thinking about making Scallops in Parsley-Brandy Pesto Sauce, though I probably won't make it for a few days. I've been using the Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook, and it has some interesting recipes.
