For the record, I'll be happy to take that couch if Betty gives up on it. I would cheerfully remake my living room around it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I really wanted a fainting couch for this house. I wanted to put it in the sunroom, where one could slounge luxuriously and bask in the winter sun.
But I didn't get one. Because fainting couches and Japanese minimalism are so not of one accord. However, I do have an awesome window seat in there now that the SO built for me, on which I can slounge to my heart's content. I need some more cushions, though.
It was way in the way in Betty's house, though, and she bought it just for the random guy in her life who's not Don.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm trying to convince myself that she bought it for herself, that works-for-the-governor guy just sort of gave her permission to get it, but you are probably right.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
My sister-in-law actually bought one, it's in the living room right now! It's been there for about 2 years.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I mean, she was definitely asserting herself, asserting her own will on her house. But she was doing it for governor guy for sure.

That was some hairdo that Betty got in Rome!

Art Crawl!!!
I know!
I loved seeing Don and Betty in Rome. It's like you could see that at one time they really enjoyed each other and maybe it's still possible. I wonder if Betty's involvement in the Junior League is a stepping stone to something.
Meanwhile, Joan's hair looked. . . odd.

Meanwhile, Pete is one fucked-up human being. This is not news, I suppose, but it's clear that he could actually have been a nice guy with some therapy.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Betty sure slammed the door shut when they got home. Icy, icy, icy.
Oh, and I loved the flirting in the piazza between the two of them.
