Table for Six

"Anyways?"...That was a joke, right? You know that shouldn't be plural, right?...I guess the reason I call myself a snob is that it's more about being a frequent shopper who gets offended than being a grammarian which made me address the incorrect possessive of Tiffany. Anyway.

I just emptied my lame-o entertainment center to prepare for my new one, and wish I had taken a picture first. Oh well. I think it's in the background of a picture or two taken in my old place. I suppose even though it's been a year in coming, I should associate this new one with this new place--although, given that I'm from a family of pack rats, this one will sit in my parents' basement, just in case someone needs an entertainment center in a pinch. I swear we could make a bunch of money if we sold the contents of my parents' basement on e-bay. Then again, if we sold my parents' old dining room set when they bought a new one a couple of years ago, I wouldn't have that coming my way tomorrow.

I have a light wood table and chairs that seats 4, and while it has been good to me since I bought it, the chairs are shot and I would love to be able to serve more than 4 (3 plus me) at a time. I measured the set and this space, and their table--which seats six without the leaf will fit quite nicely. Even the leaf will fit. It's a beautiful set, simple lines, not very heavy (it used to be in a small dining room ages ago) and will look nice in here. So just when I got rid of hand-me-downs when I moved, I decided this was a good one to take. My parents obviously took good care of it; they even reupholstered the chairs. Furthermore, my parents have had a pretty prosperous life, so maybe the energy it will bring will serve me well.

Hope you accomplished everything you needed to, and that your excursions with CC went well--or at least that they didn't inspire any homocidal thoughts. ;-) I know your parents arrive tomorrow, so if I don't hear from you, I won't call out the cavalry. Tell them I said hi.

Be well.

Love,
Barb

PS My hair came out nice. I went with all highs, instead of highs and lows, which I typically get in the winter, but next time will definitely go a little darker.
