The furniture I mentioned in the past post or so has arrived--to much rejoicing. This picture symbolizes my state of anticipation. I rarely have my door open like that since I tend to be very private. (did I hear anyone say "paranoid?") Dorothy and her husband had a few changes in their plans so the furniture that was originally going to be delivered around 6pm didn't actually arrive until after 9pm. She kept me apprised of the changes in timing but I really wanted to get everything in the house. :-) This also means the end of my being a "couch potato." You see, my high def screen is quite sensitive to viewing position (damn LCDs!) so that's why I was so eager to get these chairs. I hate to sit up on a couch yet that's the best viewing height for my television. These chairs provide a much better vantage point for tele watching. So now I'll be a "chair potato." A much better breed, or so I've heard. This is the assembly of furniture ...

Here I go again. I found some more furniture I like on Craig's List. This time the price is a little higher but the location is closer. Last time it was a leather couch, this time it's either two leather recliners and / or one leather chair with ottoman. Decisions, dammit! The ad was posted this afternoon on Craig's List and I'm going to go see the furniture tomorrow at 11am. Maybe this time I'll have some "new" furniture to enjoy in my living room. It'll make watching my tele a lot more enjoyable.

There's times when you just shouldn't hurry... But buying a decently priced leather sofa isn't one of those times. I was interested in buying this sofa off of Craig's List. The couch was listed late Friday night and I contacted the owner right away. I was going to look at it after work on Monday since the owner is located in the town where I work. Oops. It sold today at 5pm. The owner called me just a few minutes ago with the bad news. The reason I wasn't in a hurry is that I don't like this particular style of couch, but I definitely want leather and I really like the color.... I should have acted on it quicker. The area I'm in rarely has anything of this nature listed--Raleigh has them all the time but I don't want to drive 75 miles just to get a sofa. I'd be better off buying one new and having it delivered. Damn. Pretty leather. In other news, Lee is coming over to my place today. She's recovering from some surgery and isn't going back to...
