Someone remind me never to buy new furniture again. I got 6 chairs at Cost Plus World Market last night (these, actually), and OMG the amount of packaging they came in! I was figuring that driving around to used-furniture stores in order to find what I want would be less environmentally-efficient than just going to one place. But I ended up with what seemed like three cubic yards of cardboard and styrofoam, not to mention six allen wrenches and about twenty plastic bags.

GAH.

And of course the chairs are too dark to match my kitchen table (an old butcher-block thing I inherited from my sister). I wonder if I can stain the table to match?

Also, I should have bought 4 chairs and a bench. Duh.

Here's a useful invention: [link]

Those are nice chairs, aside from the agita!

Very fun! Thanks for sharing, Jesse.

We looked at those same chairs at CostPlus and they were very comfortable. Pretty, too!

What's going on? I haven't been watching but DH bet on the Pats in Vegas today.

DH is claiming theyre the only team who can beat the Pats now. I know not what of what he speaks.

I just clipped my nails, because typing with my somewhat longish nails was bugging me. How do women with long nails use a computer?

If you have sex with your clone, would it be like masturbation?

If your BF or GF had a clone, would you have a three-some with them? How about with your clone and your BF or GF?
