Our apartment is currently in transition – we have two couches, no dining room table, one chair stripped to it’s frame, and a lighting fixture on the floor.  Before getting married Andreas and I picked out furniture for our new apartment. Andreas will tell you that our purchases were very thought through because it took me three trips to the furniture store to pick a couch.  It is important to me that my home reflects our style, personality, and how we choose to live our life.  And our red overstuffed micro-fiber couch just wasn’t doing it for me any more.  So after a a few discussions (ahem…perhaps persuasions is a better word) we are changing it up a bit. Our new couch arrived on Friday and I love it – clean lines, smaller frame and white (white, I know but it comes with a 5 yr stain guard protection plan). Now if only the other couch, ottoman and lighting fixture would sell and then we will have room for a table.  Problem is I cannot find a table I like – but I do know the chairs I want – aren’t they beautiful?

I think it’s time we had this discussion, actually it’s been a long time coming.  You see, I do not know if I am strong enough to handle your unpredictability anymore – back and forth, warm or cold, snow or heat.  I’m beginning to go batty and I do not want to become one of those that constantly complains about you.  I want to be able to count on you – to trust you.  But when you change your mind so drastically and so quickly, it is hard to trust.  I didn’t want to be the one to have to tell you this, but there are others that feel this way too.  So please would you make up your mind? I would be forever indebted.

Yours Truly,

Lindsay

Yes, the weather here has been crazy, it snowed four inches last weekend and yesterday it was a balmy 74F.  If I have to change out my shoes and jacket one more time (it’s suppose to snow next week)…I might have a fit. But it’s the weekend – well the start of the weekend and I am ready! No major plans to speak of but I am ready for great weather and to have Andreas home for two full days, all to myself.  I do have three lofty projects that are on the to do list: finish one wool sock, re-upholster a chair (purchased at Goodwill for $4.98 – sporting a dusty rose 70’s fabric – imagine it next to my red couch) and plant my seed starter box.  I think it’s doable – the chair is priority because I have seen Andreas starring it down and I know exactly what is going through his head, “I can put it in the dumpster while she is gone, she’ll notice but is too short to retrieve it.” And rightfully so because it is ugly right now, but if the chair turns out how I have it pictured in my head, Andreas I just saved you $95. So for the sake of the chair, a marital spat and good taste, it’s priority.

Bonne weekend!
