Perkins, me too! I so often find Izzy to be the weakest spot of this show. But I feel reassured that maybe next year won't suck.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Lord, that's a pretty stoop.
I want to remark on the visit to the futon place today. They are SO MY PEOPLE. Husband and wife setup, kinda crunchy. Wife is due in 13 days, you could see her tummy ripple. They were all chatty about how this was her third, first two from another marriage, 14 and 18. And interrupting phone calls with the drama-teens. And the part-timer was an office manager for a ped, gorgeous black woman with blue hair and the best jewelry ever. We exchanged jewelry sources. I have to say, they aren't purely polished professional (see angry teen phone calls and pregnant lady interrupting to sit down for braxton-hicks midquote) but that's my kind of sales shop. LOW PRESSURE, lots of facts.
I probably spent more time talking to them about stuff unrelated to me spending $$$ than not.
Honestly, I'll probably go back to them for a custom cover, just for that. I didn't today because I'd made enough choices and was at the end of my rope. And I have no fucking clue what kind of upholstery I want.

One of the blogs I read was just suggesting that they should have kept the character as Michael and set it up as a Fresh Prince scenario.
Oh! Genius!!! Good for him for getting work anyway.

What was this place?! Not that I really need a futon or anything.

It's Fells Point Futon on Fleet Street. Strictly futons, covers and frames. Of the high quality sort. Fun, low-pressure peoples.

That was my guess! Now I kind of wish I did need a futon!

Well, the stuff is classy enough to pass as a couch, should you need one. It's the most I've spent on any piece of furniture to date , but I'm well pleased with it. Mission-style in a rosewood finish (ie dark black-reddish like mahogany maybe?) It doesn't look like a college futon at all.
Now to decide on a cover other than batiked wall hanging. Hopefully you and msbelle will help me out with that. I've kinda whelmed.

Bummer Kat, I love Crystal Cove.
We're going to Catalina for 4th of July. My sister has been going for the past few years, we finally decided to join them.
And for my last random comment: Frances got her dance recital costume today. A sequined kitty costume in black and pink. It is obscenely cute. I PROMISE this time I'll take pictures.
