Ashley fist asked me the type of rooms that I had in my apartment. I told her there was a kitchen, a larfe living room, a main bathroom, a master bedroom with its own bathroom, and a little room that I'm not sure what to do with. 

"Is the room that you're not sure what to do with a decent size?" Ashley asked me.

"Yea it is. I was thinking about making that room into a little office..?" I sort of asked her.

"No, no, no. You're far too young to be having an office in your apartment. How about another place like your room? Another place you go to hang out and feel comfortable in?" She suggested. 

I liek the idea of that. I really really did, but I wanted another place where my guests could stay. I don't llike anyone sleeping on the couch, I honestly think it's weird. So I asked Ashley about it. 

"Oh yes, you could have a guest room, and your own little place in the same room." Ashley explained. "Have what you want in that room, and when you have guests over just put your things in a closet.

"That actually sounds like a really good idea." I half-smiled.

"Great! So what I'm thinking is maybe there could be a fun kind of chair in it. A really cool funky shaped kind of thing, like this one." Ashley motioned over to a zebra print wavy like chair. 

I kinda liked it. "I really like this chair, so should we scheme the room with zebra print?"

"Yea, and for the other rooms we could do something that matches with your living room and bedroom. I feel like the place that your guests will stay needs to be more fun, so they feel nice and comfortable. Are you following?" she asked me. 

"Yea, you know you're ea really good woman to work with. You have some really great ideas when it comes to these things.." I complimented Ashley.

Ashley smiled, "I wish that I got that all of the time, but since I'm an older lady people don't think that I know what I'm doing." 

"Well I think you're amazing at this, if I ever have a friend or somebody that needs help with home related things, I'll definitely tell them to give you a visit." I told her.

"Why thank you, now let's get back to shopping!" Ashley clapped her hands.

We did what we said we would, we got things that went with zebra print for the spare room. We also picked out a flower decor picture for the room also. We got a zebra print lamp, with five different colored zebra print lampshades.

For the living room we picked out an oversized and stuffed dark chocolate colored couch and love seat. Also a dark chocolate colored coffee table and entertainment center.

For my room we got a king sized bed frame, with large poles at each corner of the bed frame. There was also a head board and dresser with a mirror in the center of it that went along with the bed frame. It all went well very nicely so I decided to get it.

For both bathrooms we kind of got the same things. We got dark chocolate and white checker patterened curtains, along with dark chocolate colored mats and toillet seat covers.

"Do you need dishes and such for your kitchen too?" Ashley asked me. 

Haha, I completely forgot about the kitchen! "Why yes, yes I do." I laughed.

Ashley awkwardly smiled at me and said, "You can also get those items here if you'd like." 

"Alright."

So, for dishes we got dark brown and white colored bowls, plates, and cups. Some were even checker patterened! For silverware we got the ordinary silver colored utensils, but they had brown and white colored stripes on the handles. And also for pots and pans, we got black ones.They didn't have dark brown or white ones, so I thought black would work.

"Okay, well I think that's it. Thank you." I smiled at Ashley. 

"You're very welcome. Would you like your cups and such to come with the furniture, or would you like them now?"

"I can wait, I'd rather have it all together than have it all come in segments." I explained. 

"Okay, well your furnitture should come in 3 days. Your total is $4,500." Ashley said.

"Okay." I swiped my credit card and it was all paid for.

"Here's an air mattress." Ashley handed me a large box. "Use this the first few nights until your furniture arrives. And then when your furniture does arrive, use this in that little extra room for your guests. It's on the house." she smiled.

"Wow! Thanks so much! Have a great night." I smiled and walked out of the store. 

When I got to my car and pulled out of the lot, it was 7:30. I realised I was starving, so I ordered a large, stuffed crust pepperoni pizza with a 2 Liter Dr. Pepper. I didn't really feel like waiting for twent mintues, so I decided to go home and have it delivered to me.

The first thing I did when I got home was blow up the air mattress. Then I changed into an oversized t-shirt and fuzzy pajama pants.

I laid donw on the air mattress while waiting for my pizza. The air mattress was in the living room pushed up against the far wall. I didn't feel like sleeping in my room, I don't just want to sleep in an empty room with me and an air mattress. So the living room was my next choice, it was nice and big and I wasn't locked in a small area. 

The door bell rang a few minutes after I laid down. I got up, paid for my pizza and ate all of it. I even finished the whole bottle of Dr. Pepper.

I didn't have any thing to use to put my drinks in or to put my food on, so I drank from the bottle and ate from the box.

After I was finished I decided to shut off all of the lights and go to bed. Man I couldn't wait to have my furniture so I could sleep on an actual bed. 

I closed my eyes and quickly fell asleep.
