Did anyone see Where the Wild Things Are? Good? Bad? Indifferent?
Loved it also. It's a very close picture of the rough times in our house, so that made it really personal. Mac and I are still talking about it 3-4 weeks after seeing it, he is such in the headspace of Max on the island.
Steph - if you do go slip covers, I find the canvas ones vacuum off cat hair pretty easily, and I scotch guarded fro mac spills which may help with the dog noses. My couch, bought 2 years ago is Ikea with slip cover and aside from an arm that was loose at delivery, it has worn well, but I think we are pretty easy on furniture. I bought it with a matching recliner which I love love love.
Teppy, is leather out of the question? I have no idea what cats would do to it, but dog hair and dog slobber are easily cleaned from it.
I would do leather, but my vegetarian boyfriend is opposed to the idea, unfortunately.

Yeah, I think that no matter what couch we pick, slipcovers are going to be the best choice for dealing with fur. I'm also going to get 5 or 6 lengths of fleece from the fabric store, to put in the spots where the cats like to sleep, b/c they'll grab the loose fur, and then I can toss them in the laundry.
Oh!
Happy birthday Jess!!!
Skipping (stealing a couple of precious computer seconds in the middle of classes), because according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Jessica's birthday.
Happy birthday, Jess! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
Have I mentioned recently how much I love autumn in New York?
Oh, Jessica!
For your birthday, *I* get the pleasure of posting with you for the first time since forever, and therefore am finally able to tell you how happy I was when I read the news about the little chicken (and, um, I'm still happy about those news, too!).
Happy birthday, Jessica! With cake!
