Couch Shopping

Mornings are not my friends.  Waking up usually involves multiple stages, and when I finally drag myself out of bed it is nice to flop semi-inclined in the living room.  From here the day can be engaged in whispered conversations until I'm alert enough to assume the true vertical.  Sadly, our lack of furniture has made a "Stage 2" area noticeably absent, and consequently Stage 1 (laying in bed) elongated while Stage 3 (active prep for the day) developed a grumpy attitude.  In an effort to remedy this, we went couch shopping.  We came back with a find under $10.00!!  Realistically it will not fill the void of a Stage 2 area, but catching a glimpse of these cuties has already improved the outlook in Stage 3.  As an added bonus, we are ready for balcony lounge company (the mini kind).

 
The search for a couch continues:)

Happy 4th of July!!!


It was disappointing not to partake in our first mallow war since becoming residents of this eccentric neighborhood, but the campaign to mallow out tickled my funny bones and eased the sadness.  On the bright side we got to see two amazing firework shows from the comfort of our own balcony, and the few grumbling peeps were quickly silenced into s'mores.
