Come over here and take a load off...

After years of talking about it we finally bit the bullet and bought a living room chair. (I know we're the slowest decision makers ever. Boy, do I ever know...)

Our furniture situation is sketchy. Some things - real nice. Some other things - straight from the Goodwill. Once a year, our lone house guest comes to town. To watch a movie, we'd all sit like the Simpsons lined up on the couch. Last summer before Debby arrived I said, "That's it! We need a chair!" Off to the Goodwill. We ended up with a not very comfortable rocking chair.

Aaron, in disbelief that it could possibly be comfortable, took a seat. "Ohhhh, this is niiiiice." Dusty, nice, and a hidious shade of 1980 Forest Green. We were in!
