I just got a new sofa! It's supposed to be delivered on Friday (if I can get the day off of work).

The wood on the front is more of a honey color than that photo indicates, and the material is a thick weave dark beige. It's not quite as deep as I'd like (only 39 inches), but it's probably better that it's not too comfortable, so I stop sleeping all night elsewhere than my bed.

Kathy, holy crap! I was just looking at that sofa (online) the other day! But, due to massive cat hair issues (it is SO hard to get cat hair off the current sofa), I really want my next sofa to be microfiber, which, if I go with Value City, would be this one: [link] or this one: [link]

The first one looks squooshier (which I like), but I love the color of the second one.

I just bought a microfiber sofa!

Sara, you're killing me with the neighborhood association.

West Coasters who are interested, if you didn't set TiVo for Glee, DO IT NOW. Holy shit, total win.

Congrats! May you slounge but not sleep on it often!

I like those sofas! We need a new one. DH picked out the one in the family room and I hate it because it has a serious dent in one side of the seating.

We need something kid-proof. Or at least kid-resistant.

Congrats to Jilli on the good news!

And Kat, I'm sorry to hear that. It's going around Isaac's school too.

I slept right through that second earthquake. Wouldn't have known about it if I hadn't come here to see what was up.

I could use a new sofa, but won't get one until I move in the fall, because my current one got ripped moving in here.

I'm killing me with this neighborhood! I was telling Maureen (the woman I walked back with, and her dog) that I can't believe how lucky I got. I mean, REALLY. She's been here 21 years. Her kids just went off to college. She's a practical nurse nearby. We were talking about how hilarious the listserv is and I introduced her to the term kerfuffle.
