stuyvesant town

finally got all my barang into the new place with the help of the kelly and the guys. this time i drove the u-haul around the city and it was quite the experience. we were gangsta - double parked on some streets and even left the hazard lights on while we moved the boxes upstairs.
mattress arrived the next morning and the guys who installed it should have a guiness record for putting it all together in under a minute. i just lay on it for five minutes and couldn't wipe that smile off my face. call me crazy, but anyone would've if they got pins and needles from sleeping on the floor the night before.
i'm also on the quest for the best general tso's chicken. had the crappiest one on saturday and now i'm determined to find something that'll keep me coming back for more.
i've been buying supplies from bargain bazaar and the 99cent store across the street - it's all very wonderfully cheap so i am quite happy. i can't wait to actually start furnishing the place and once again pretend i am the designer from trading spaces. haha.
the name abc carpet and home sounds really sanitary and boring, but my oh my the store is a heaven for vintage/kitchy furniture buffs like me. it's like the home section of urban times ten. of course though i could not afford even a cushion but just walking through the store was such an inspiring experience--chandeliers, luxe fabrics, flea market finds and all. they really should change the name because it sounds like a place for old suburban fogeys.
