Toys!

After a year of talking about it, six months of budgetting for it, and three months of looking for it, Greg and I finally bought an arm chair for the living room. Actually, Greg bought the chair. I picked it out and talked about ordering it, but being my parents' child (they've been "looking" for a TV for 2 years), I was only ever going to talk about it. Wednesday, Greg came home and told me he had purchased the chair, and on Friday, Rex and I spent the whole day sitting in the front window waiting for the delivery truck. It finally arrived at 6:30. And it looks so good. It's not the most comfortable chair, but why are you lounging on my nice room furniture anyway.

Possibly the best is that we ordered it on-line so the chair came in a huge box. And you know what huge boxes are good for...club houses. Greg and I spent a few hours after dinner tonight turning the box into a rad clubhouse for Rex. Too bad, he's pretty unsure of it and will only go inside if one of us in there. Greg took a nap in the club house actually. I'm hoping that in the next few days he'll warm up to it and the weather will warm up so I can move it out of my living room and into the backyard.
