It surely does look nice, though.

constanceIf you ever come visit me, as no doubt you are planning to do, I now have a king-sized bed for you to sleep in, but I hope you don't thrash around too much, or want to sit on the foot of the bed to tie your shoes or something. See, I inherited a twin mattress set from my grandmother, and with the twin bed I already had, that makes a king-size bed, but you know, they are still separate twin mattresses, connected only by a mattress pad and a king-sized fitted sheet.
And also, I probably shouldn't tell you this because now you'll never want to visit me ever, but the bed frame is held together by packing tape and big stacks of magazines. It is only temporary! Until I get a proper king-sized bed! But my benighted sunroom: the benightedness is temporary in there, too, and it's been nearly two years now since I moved into my house and it is still benighted, so. I move slowly on these things, is what I'm trying to tell you, so when you visit me (you are still coming to visit, right?), just don't thrash. Or sit on the end of the bed. Are we agreed?
ETA: One-third of the way through, and I'm still in the game! Go me!

The comment that might more appropriately be an email.
Date: 2007-11-11 12:49 pm (UTC)I have been on a housecleaning tear all weekend (you would not believe the 2.5-foot high wall of autumn leaves that are now lining the front of my property, waiting for the city to come vacuum them up-- it is like a fortress of leaves, I have never raked so many in my life) without tackling the most pressing project in the house, which is the fact that pretty much 80 percent of my clothes are lying in piles around my bedroom. On the plus side, my (completely insufficient) kitchen counters are clearer than they've ever been.
I got a new slipcover for my sofa as a caution against simply replacing it for being ugly and old. I should send you a photo.
It is always good to hear from you, on lj or through email.

Nothing is happening in the sunroom. Yet. But I have plans for it, yes I do. I am thinking of asking for a bunch of Flor tile for Christmas, for starters, though I haven't decided 100% on that. As soon as things start happening, I'll start posting photos!
