No because it's not really within my budget.

Sure am excited about my new light bulbs though.

Being old doesn't make you good at adulting.

I'm in my 20s but I was excited to get a new rug last year because it was for my dog. Does that count?

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I'm "excited about buying a new vacuum cleaner" old. Because I already bought the rugs.

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

No. A vacuum cleaner? Yes. A dehumidifier? Yes.

But then again, I was told that without my partner the only furniture I would have is a table, bed, and chair

Not me, but my spouse. I love all the rugs they pick, we always agree, but I can't match or really even understand the excitement.

But if it's shopping for food in an open green market, sign me the fuck up.

If I could justify a rug rn I'd be rubbing my hands together like a fly.

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah. A mattress though? You bet!

If I could have a convoy with my younger adult self - invest in decent beds.

[–] cattywampas@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes! Looking for one for my office, it's really gonna tie the room together.

Don't let anyone ever pee on it!

i am actively looking for one to color-coordinate my bedroom.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Maybe not quite that old, but old enough that the really soft blanket I got for Christmas was the highlight. Even over the real nice headphones I got that I've fallen in love with.

Though, I was recently thinking of getting myself a couple towels all for myself and was kinda excited at the prospect of having my own couple towels my family can't use, so maybe I'm nearly there.

I’m going-out-means-going-to-the-grocery-store-to-peruse-today’s-coupon-discounted-items old.

We bought this one a few years back and we were super excited for it. It's still a nice rug to see in our house. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Mohawk-Home-Majorelle-Gardens-Blue-Blue-Indoor-Area-Rug-Common-5-x-8-Actual-5-ft-W-x-8-ft-L-x-0-5-ft-dia/1000931700

Hmmm, maybe not a rug, but new towels and such? Yeah, I'm that old :)
