Before and After...

Sorry...it's been awhile since I have posted. As usual, I have been busy working a ton. Also, Cody has been visiting for about a week and a half. When Cody got here, he was amazed at how I had been getting by with just a 10" tv. and a couch. and thats it.

The first night he was here, I decided to inflate the air mattress so we wouldn't have to share the couch. Little did I know, the cats had popped the mattress with their claws, so we were sleeping on the floor after the first couple hours. Then we were trying to share the couch. then sleep on the floor. then back to the couch... you get the idea

The next morning, we got dressed and immediately bought a mattress. A much needed improvement. :)

When it came time for me to work on Monday, Cody got restless and needed something to do. What better to do in the Vegas area but shop? Needless to say, I called him about halfway into my day and asked him what he was up to. He said "Oh nothing, just playing Mario Kart." I was thinking, hmmmm, we don't have anything to play MarioKart with. So I asked him how he was doing that? "Oh," he says, "I bought a Wii." (like it was nothing)

Then I got to thinking even more, and there were no hookups for a Wii in that 10" tv. So of course, he bought a 40" flatscreen while I was at work. LOL

I guess I can't complain, it is a Sony Bravia 1080p tv, and we needed a new tv anyway. So scroll down to see what the apartment looked like before Cody got here. Here are the 'after' pictures.

The Sealy mattress we bought, we got a great deal on it.

The couch. As you can tell, I love blankets :) And the mess? That goes with working 12+ hours a day.


The sweet tv and tv stand we bought. A fantastic improvement :)
We had to buy the tv stand, when I came home the day Cody bought the tv, he had it sitting on that little wooden end table that the 10" tv had been sitting on (scroll down to previous post to see what I am talking about). Just slightly unstable lol

Here is the kitty ledge so the cats can look out the window (as you can tell, Magic loves it so much, he prefers the carpet lol). This is their birthday present, the kitties turn 7 this Friday!


The apartment feels more like home now, and it won't be so bad when Cody goes back to Denver this weekend. Now if only I could get the yappy dog downstairs to quit barking 16 hours a day/night.
