KSL rocks

So along with a house, I thought I might want to furnish it as well. Being somewhat of a tight wad when it comes to things that are practical, I was slightly concerned when I realized I don't have any of the big ticket items that are a smidge important to have in a house. Like a refrigerator. Or a table to eat at; washer and dryer also come in handy, sometimes people look at you funny when you wear smelly clothes and eat off of the floors (that reminds me, I need to buy some plates). KSL.com to the rescue. (For those of you that don't live in Utah, KSL.com is Utah's version of craig's list.)

I should probably tell you that when I started looking at what I was going to get for the the house, I was trying to avoid my 13yr history of eclectic college apartment style living and go more for the "I'm a responsible adult" look. The must-have list looked something like this: "Tivo, leather couches, high-bar table w/matching chairs, flat screen TV, heavy duty cooking pans and all Teflon-coated cooking utensils, matching table settings for 8 and a stereo that I could plug my Ipod into. Go ahead and laugh. It's funny.....really funny.

Reality check. I figure if I pay my tithing at 12%, and with KSL's (and the Lords) help I may find a couch with no animal hair, smoke smell or stains, an Ipod that works ( forget the stereo, I'll just use my old ear-buds), a table with four legs that are firmly attached, something tall enough to sit on and eat and a HDTV converter box for the TV my co-worker is giving to me (bless you Lisa!). Kelly also gave me a DVD player, so I have something to watch, as the Tivo thing may not be a fiscal option. Luckily the guy is leaving the microwave, so I will have something to cook my food in until the after Christmas sales, where I hope to get a pot and a frying pan. Kelly also gave me a blender, so I am gong to start researching and adapting recipes for blenders. If I want matching plates, Big Lots has dishwasher safe plates that don't warp for the first 3 months. I do however draw the line at going any less than 2-ply TP. Believe it or not, you can even find that on KSL.com
