Sofas. Sofas everywhere !


Current Mood : Loafin'



I would say ‘we got the sofa in safely last night’, but the fact is, Beloved Hubby got the sofa in safely last night by himself, mostly by pivoting and more or less rolling it from curb to carpet. Four guys, our sometimes-seen neighbors, passed him one by one and didn’t offer or ask if he needed help. Possibly the same jerks who set off boom fireworks a couple weeks back at 11pm on a Thursday, for no apparent reason. Ah, well. Bitterness does not become one. At least he got the first nap on it !


Got the living room up to par today – it was a mess from all the moving around. Repositioned both of Dearest Son’s desks, and Beloved cleared his Airsoft workbench to make space for the sofa. Since he wasn’t using it anymore, it was becoming a clutter magnet, and the #1 place for him to drop clothes. Grrr. Told him if it wasn’t in the hamper, it wasn’t getting washed, so here’s hoping. I’ve been telling Dearest the same thing for three years now. Most of his tools and Airsoft stuff went into the footlocker in his closet, and his chair replaced the one Dearest has more-or-less wrecked. The still-usable wrecked chair went outside, and it’s nice to have somewhere to sit besides cold concrete while the kids play. His workbench was a foldable buffet table, which now fits perfectly under the sofa, and ready in seconds when we need it. Got everything vacuumed, repositioned the power strip where it’s easily accessible, and now the living room isn’t just where the computers are.


We watched the library copy of Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs tonight, and I really enjoyed cuddling on the sofa with my guys. Cleaning up Dearest’s desks to move ‘em freed up a milk crate, so now I have a footstool or mini table. The short benches from our dining area table can also double as a just-right height place to put a drink when you get to stretch out. I love multi-function pieces…


Oh, and I found someone selling a buncha MH stuff super-cheap. I didn’t wanna ask if I could spend the cash, since we just got the Coffin Bean playset, but…a half hour later, I bought the faceless green doll from the coffin-like water-transfer Create A Monster set, nude, Cleo’s sold-separately fashion and her Skull Shores outfits, both altered to skirts, and her Ghouls Rule punchbowl, Abbey’s GR platter (not the hand-stand, but I’ll snag that later) and her Roller Maze skates, and some MH drinks for less than I would have paid for just Cleo’s SS costume. I can’t wait to get it all !


Talk about over-indulged…it’s been like Christmas around here for me ! The cauldron came in today, and it looks so great in the Creepateria ! One of the drinks from the Coffin Bean is nearly the same shape, is silver as well, and has a green…something in it, so they look perfect together. It’ll be a heckuva potluck when I get all those pieces together. Especially with Deborah’s cupcakes and cookies added !
