From today's department of random:
I had a dream last night that my husband was a bigamist. At first I supported it; it was a favor to a friend. But after the fact, as the implications of it set in, I became distraught and felt suddenly that my life was ruined. I think in this case the subconscious second wife symbolizes the real, nearly full-time second job George currently holds. That job has been a blessing for the past couple of years, but it has run its course and thankfully soon will end. As George and I sat at breakfast this morning, I said to him: "Whatever you do, do not take a second wife. Or any more jobs!" With a very weary "are you kidding me?" look he said I need not worry about that. Thankfully, I'm not quite distraught over that job, not as much as I would be if he had another wife. I just miss him. A lot.
Random kitty pic. She was curious about the meditation candle I lit this morning. Don't be fooled that I do this every day, but today I needed the calm of staring at a candle for a bit. Curiosity did not kill the cat, thankfully.
And here's my living room re-arranged (with random Billy pic). The wing chairs are temporary, I hope, to be replaced by a leather (non pet-hair collecting) love seat or pair of chairs in the near future. We recently received those tables from my mom and dad and I wanted to use them. Can you tell they are from our family room in the 80s? I really like them, and like how they modernize and streamline the space even though they are now nearly "vintage". They are very good quality, as are the wing chairs. You would not believe how much those chairs have been sat upon since the 1980s, and how firm and comfortable they still are. Even the upholstery is *almost* back in style again and it is in surprisingly good condition. I like wing chairs so they'll do for now, but I'd prefer something else for that space.
I know. I have too many odd patterns in my living room right now. Above is a picture of our closet office or "cloffice" I've found they're called. I purchased the pillow at Target in the girls' room section, to "funk-ify" that old chair. I'd like that old chair to be the most traditional thing in our living room, eventually. I do like to mix traditional and modern.
Below is the love seat (with yet another pattern) I tried to move up to the living room as a temporary stand-in for a new love seat. I tried to do this alone. It's light enough and I'm just stubborn enough and...see first paragraph about tired, overworked husband...
But then this happened:
As I was trying unsuccessfully to get it up this staircase:
Oh well, the wing chairs will do for now. And not ONE of those mason jars broke. I just might move them away from the staircase though.

I think that the love seat would have looked cute in that space too, but... oh! The window! I'm glad that it didn't smash clean through.
Be safe, girl! :)
