I managed to get on the road this morning within 15 minutes of my planned departure time, which I count as a victory. Alas, it was the 15 minutes that made the difference between touring the wildlife refuge in an air-conditioned bus or walking a couple of miles through hilly terrain under a blazing sun. But I got to see numerous tigers, lions, a liger, a bear, and a coati. I spent a good long while watching this handsome fellow eat his dinner, got a tigress by the name of Izzy to chuff back at me, and apparently fascinated her next-door-neighbor so much that she ignored feeding time in favor of staring at me. (Perhaps she sensed I was about ready to pass out from the heat and become easy pickings?)
Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

All right! I have added a sofa, a night stand, and bookshelves to a wishlist and will sleep on it before ordering in the morning.
Next up, kitchen table!

Very cool, Matt! If not literally.
I love the look and of the second table. They are all taller Han I'd like, but most people seem to like higher tables just fine.

Seven and s half feet sounds like a lot of couch.
Not a criticism.

That second table set is awesome, and would look great against a cloudburst-colored wall.

Not a fan of the two-tone ashy, but I like all dark/honeyed wood, not ash at all. I'd go all wood over leather just cause it wears better. But totally my prefs.
Have to laugh at Matt getting called a kitty. I recall when you just got fond of the strays...
And now I'm going to bed. Which IS early for me.

I know, right?! That's plenty of lounging space right there.

It's pretty cute, but upon reading the reviews it looks like the particle board doesn't hold up very well, which explains why it's so cheap.

Good point!

My experience over the last few years has meant I tend to look for a couch that was good to convalesce on, so I'm probably not the best judge. Some people won't love sitting in counter-height chairs. At least I can rarely put my feet on the front rung (long thighs, short calves), so I spend my time sliding off the chair.
