Natalie's New Post

My daughter has indicated that she is ready for a new post, so here goes. We just got back from spending way too much money on some new furniture -- and I"m so jazzed I"m about to bust! We went to Rooms To Go as a result of their ad in the paper this morning and checked out a nice-looking leather sofa that was on the front page of their ad. Sad to say, however, that it didn't look as nice in person and it sure didn't feel very nice. So we walked around the store and found something we liked a lot (and was it on sale too? of course not!!) and went ahead and bought not only the couch, but a big chair and ottoman as well. And we had to buy a funky chair for Mark too -- that seems to be family tradition. It's all really cute though and I'm happy and if I was as smart as Natalie is, I'd have pictures to show you. But I"m not, and I don't. (I actually looked at Rooms to Go's website and I don't see anything that even resembles what we bought - so who knows?) Anyhow, it was a good shopping trip and I love the stuff and they will even deliver this Thursday instead of making me wait forever. Then we went to Costco and bought a pedestal and a patio umbrella for the new patio Mark is finishing up (with Chris and Maya's help today) -- so now I feel broke. But happy.
