Yesterday we did a little furniture shopping. My dresser has completely fallen apart and one drawer won't even open anymore. We were going to look into a replacement, but it's in the exact spot where I'll need to put the bassinet and eventually the crib. So we've decided to replace Chris's dresser with a much larger one for the both of us and replace his end table with a small dresser. Well, I found the larger dresser and fell in love with it. It's a gorgeous pine and really huge. I don't care for the drawer pulls, but those are so easy to replace that they won't factor into our decision. Anyway, it's a great price and the guy will cut us a deal on delivery since it's only one item. Considering we just went furniture shopping on a whim, I'm delighted that we found something. We didn't order it, because I didn't plan to buy yesterday and need to set some funds aside, but hopefully we can purchase it in the next month. Then it'll take two or three weeks before it comes in so I'll have to live with my current dresser until August. We did not care for the matching end tables, so we'll still need to find a small 3-drawer dresser for Chris's side of the bed, but pine won't be hard to match.

After my mil got off work yesterday, we all went and saw Around The World in 80 Days. It was highly entertaining and we had a good time. Tabitha enjoyed it, though she had to ask me a few questions every now and then. After the movie we went to Claim Jumper. Now, this is a restaurant we go to often, but I found it lacking yesterday. Some of the salads I got from the produce bar were bland and Tabitha's macaroni and cheese tasted like plain pasta and water. It wasn't the best experience we've ever had there, though the pizzas that Chris and my mil had were both very good according to them.

We got home a bit past Tabitha's bedtime, but it didn't seem very nice to just shuttle her off to bed, plus she hadn't really had dinner. So Chris and I watched Last Comic Standing while she ate some veggies and played on the floor in front of us. She ended up not going to bed until 10:00 but was up at 7:00 this morning so I'll probably get her to bed a bit early tonight, especially since we have a field trip tomorrow.
