Sofamazing & This Weekend

Here’s what the majority of our tax return went to: a sofa of beauteous proportions. It gets delivered tomorrow, and I’m ever so excited. In the nearly four years of marriage Husband and I have shared, we’ve never had a couch that wasn’t a hand me down.

Our first sofa set was actually really nice. My parents gave it to us, and it was from their living room at the time. But my older brother somehow ended up stealing it from me. I dunno. I’m still scratching my head on that one. How did he end up with our sofas? And why did I not call the police?

Next came the Nasty Nightmare. We were once so desperate as to accept (gratefully, I might add) a black PLEATHER couch with dozens of tears in it that were “mended” with black duct tape, (it blended quite well, actually) but it was painful to sit on…all the tears made it quite sharp and uncomf.

We then took my other sister’s sofas that had been sitting in her garage for, like, a few months. They were dusty and ugly, but I was sick of my bony little butt getting cut from the fake pleather monstrosity. And that’s what we currently veg on. And don’t get me wrong, we’re grateful for everybody’s charity and ugly sofas, but really, it was time for something new and nice.

More pics to come, I’m sure, once the beautiful sofa arrives. I’m thinking of naming her Chutney. Yeah, I likes it!


On to other news: what's everyone doing this weekend? My Saturday morning/afternoon is pathetically wide open. Any ideas, anyone? Or better yet, anyone wanna take pity on me and ask a young mom to bring her crazy toddler to tag along with whatever it is you're doing? Lemme know.
