stuff stuff stuff

Well, we are just going insane here on Mica Peak. No, the orange shag carpet is still here, but other things are changing.

When my dad was here we took two big loads of trash to the dump - one of which included the nasty couch in the basement. Jim had always envisioned a movie room in the basement with a projection tv and all that surround sound stuff. Well, we were in Costco the other day and one of their offerings was an 80" projection tv! I thought we were ok, because we had driven the convertible, but Jim is a master of loading, and we soon aquired a big tv. Actually a big screen and a little box, otherwise it would never have fit.

So the next day we go to Furniture Row, where we had seen a couch we really liked about a month ago but we wanted to look around more. Our neighbor said they were having a sale on, and we went into the "tent of values" out in the parking lot - and there was a couch just like we had picked! The only thing wrong was one of the pillows (attached) was understuffed, but we could either rip a seam and stuff it, or just plop a decorator pillow there - it is not noticable to look at. AND it came with a matching loveseat for the same price as a regular sofa alone. So we bought it. Yay. Here's what it looks like (ours is sage green) http://www.furniturerow.com/group_detail/brand/sofa_mart/id/497/

Of course Jim could hardly wait to hook everything up, and I was amazed at how fast he did it - we had movies last night! And his $20 sound stuff he'd been hording for years (in a pile under the table) worked great. So all you friends and reletives, come visit!
