Kev has a new hobby - houseplants! Hey, at least it gets him away from the computer. well, at least until he has to look up the name of one of them. More »« Less

I’m guessing this means my friends are going to cancel any fun road trip plans with me…

how I kept my sanity

without access to my website all day. What did I do? WHAT COULD I DO??? IF I WASN’T OBSESSIVELY REFRESHING MY SITE LOOKING FOR NEW COMMENTS???

I painted. Our entranceway. More »« Less

and….we’re back!

Sorry the site was down all day.  According the Bluehost, the server my site was hosted on was undergoing “maintenance.”  Riiiiight.  Sounds like Skippy the Intern spilled his coffee on the boards this morning.  After 8 hours of this “maintenance” (careful wipe down and removal of stickiness, Skippy likes his coffee sweet, apparently), we’re back.

Pictures of how I kept myself from going insane all day coming soon.

the evils shop for couches

at the furniture store

ESC: well, I still like the sofa, even if it is smaller. I could definitely nap here.

Kev: you could nap anywhere.

ESC: that’s true. it’s like my superpower.

looking online at sofas

ESC: ooooo, I found a pink couch!

Kev: NO. WAY.

ESC: awwwwww…you don’t love me

Kev: nope. not at all.

We are VERY close to a couch.  We measured the actual couch at the store yesterday and found out that it was 2 1/2 inches shorter than we thought it was.   Sweet!  That is a pretty crucial 2 1/2 inches.  I might look at a few more places this week.

As a side note, has anyone ever bought or knows someone who bought furniture from furniturexo.com?  They have the EXACT same sectional for the same price, but no sales tax and free delivery.  No out right complaints that I can find on the interwebs, and they are rated fine by the better business bureau.  They are based in Philadelphia.   Anyone?
