Hurricanes and Couches

You may or may not have heard about the FrankenStorm.

The bad news: Wind kept pushing rain down my chimney and into my living room.

The good news: I don’t live in New York City or New Jersey. Actually, not living in New Jersey is always good news. (Please direct all hate mail through the submission form.)

All kidding aside, this storm was epic and my thoughts are with those in the line of fire. I hope everyone managed to stay safe and sound and that your power is restored quickly!

Now, for those of you who do have power and need some cheering up, I thought I would show you MY NEW COUCH!!! Remember when I searched for the perfect couch? I found it in the Gus Modern Atwood and those fine ladies at Homebody delivered it to me recently. I. LOVE. IT. SO. MUCH.

Ain’t she a beaut? She’s super comfy, too . And yes, I hoard magazines. More on that later! Until then you can have couch envy.

  Yes, it’s a problem. I love pretty pictures! And touching smooth paper. I’m weird.

I love your couch, and it fits perfectly with the rest of the decor. I’m sorry about the rain how far are you from the storm? We were fortunate here.

  Thank you! I’m right in downtown DC so we had winds around 80 mph. Fortunately there wasn’t much damage!

    I had thought that area would have been hit hard. I’m glad they were wrong about that and you were safe.

    Well, it wasn’t like what happened in NJ and NYC, that’s for sure! Lucky us that all we got were floods, downed trees, and minor water damage!
