Shopping Two Weekends in a Row!!!

I learned over the holidays that friends of ours go shopping about twice a month. When I say shopping I mean browsing through a mall or other similar experience. It is also my understanding that her husband does this willingly. Brad is not a shopper & tends to avoid the experience whenever possible. Well, we are currently on our search for a new bed for Sydney (which will eventually go to Jason's room) & Brad is obviously not willing to leave the decision to me. As a result the poor man has been on 3 separate shopping excursions since last Saturday. Our goal is to find a mate's bed (the beds with storage drawers underneath) because Jason's room is not very big & think that any extra storage will be much needed. However, we are discovering that there is a huge variance of quality out there. Before we are done our search, there are three other stores that I have found for us to visit. Of course two are in Oakville (nowhere close together) & the other is near Stoney Creek- so there is a lot of driving that still needs to be done.

I think maybe Jason & I will try to hit the two in Oakville this week to see if there is anything worth dragging Brad to for a second review. The one store had models you could review on the website, but no prices of course. I may even try to make it to the one near Stoney Creek, but I am not making any promises. Of course, while we are bed shopping we also have our eye out for a new chair for our living room. I am finally ready to get rid of my dad's old recliner because it is just too big. However, I would still like to have a recliner in the living room- I just don't want it to look like a recliner. This search may never end, because I am getting the definite impression that Brad & I are not going to agree on a chair. I also plan for there to be a new couch in our far future (when the kitchen is redone & the kids are older), so the chair that we get now needs to be at least workable with new furniture in our future. I think that Brad's willingness to shop will run out far before we find a chair that we can agree on.
