verbminxLooong day.
We bought furniture.
The livingroom furniture is (was) off-white, and purchased in 1988. So you can imagine, we are due for an update. We picked out a nice soft cotton duck sofa in a pretty shade called "eggplant", and a chaise that matches it (it's really more like a club chair with an attached ottoman). Comes with pillows, etc. Being delivered a week from Saturday.
Then went to Best Buy and got a few cds and dvds. I convinced my mom to try AfroCelt Sound System - she likes Peter Gabriel and most stuff she's heard on RealWorld, so I think she'll dig them. I got Moby, U2, Beastie Boys, and Ladytron, as well as the Blur collection dvd ("Coffee and TV" is one of my most favorite videos ever) and Camelot on dvd, as my old videotape copy is all screwed up and it's been on my mind.
& then I went to the store next door (discount clothing hell chain) and found a pair of Docs - ladys oxfords with black soles, a little dressier than normal docs, on clearance for $30. At first I wasn't going to get them, but the docs that S gave me a few months ago are chunkier and wing-tip style, and these new ones are much less fussy. Plus the B-cat hasn't had the chance to vomit on them yet, and if he does, the absence of pinked leather trim and little eyelet cutouts lessens the mess greatly.
Now the momster feels sick, so I am going to spend the evening nursing her. I'm pretty tired myself. la la la.
