My chores are mostly done

[susandennis]

I have finished my list. I even vacuumed up the styrafoam snow and litter and dirt on the terrace. I did not do the bathroom floor. I figured I needed to save something for tomorrow.

It looks nice and organized.

Betty has commandeered the under bed. She's never had an under bed. Neither has Jake for that matter. My beds have all been waterbeds or platform beds with drawers - no under bed.

She's also very fond of the ottoman's. I have this big lint sponge that I've had forever and it turns out that it is perfect for collecting Betty leftovers from the new furniture. Jake doesn't ever leave much but I suspect it will work on his, too.

And...I updated the makeover pages with new pix! Hurry on over. I'm going to make that banana and peanut butter sandwich right now.

it seems like a sin to cover it ...

i use cheapie fleece blankets to cover furnture that the cats like to use ... when they get covered in kitty fuzz i toss them into the wash and put a new one out.

i'm wondering how nice that chair is for ... uh ... sustained tv watching! it doesn't have much of a back, does it? ...

Re: it seems like a sin to cover it ...

[susandennis]

Exactly.. I didn't want to cover the furniture so I was delighted to find out this 'sponge' thing worked fine.

The pod chair is, actually, a lot more comfortable than you would think. The pillow does need to be moved up but once it's in place, it's really not bad. BUT, having said that, let me be quick to add that I plan to do my sustained tV watching from the chaise. I'm hoping to see it about the end of June.

I hurried on over and, as a coworker is overly fond of saying, it's looking "trez (think "prez") sheeeek"! I'm pea green chartruese - keeping in mind your color palette - with envy when it comes to your energy level . . after working all week, I don't know how you keep going through the weekend!

Oh I'm done. I am going to finish this comment and then my ass is going to snuggle into that pod chair and I'm going to see what Netflix sent me.

The A.L.F. doll is a nice touch ;-)

Is the pod chair as comfortable as it looks?

[susandennis]

I have my alf slippers hidden. They will probably come back out when this is all over and Sheri gets her pictures. The Alf doll is sporting one of the ugliest neckties in the world. I won it for highest score in a golf tournament that was a team building event back when I was with Microsoft the first time.

The pod chair is a lot more comfortable than I thought it would be. The pillow, however, is cruicial. Otherwise your back folds into it too far. The swivel is good.

I still say the colors are really nice. I'd feel very comfy in your place, cats included. :-)

Thank you! It's very of special to hear that from someone who has such an amazing eye for beautiful things.

Was just checking out your make over page when I noticed you said you were going to paint the table. Are you sure you want to do that? (Maybe I've watched too many Trading Spaces)

[susandennis]

Oh yeah. The current finish screams 'cheap furniture store'. Painting is the only thing that will save it. And I do want to save it.

omg!

wow, susan - very cool!

Re: omg!

[susandennis]

:) and wait until you see my new fan... it's not as cool as yours but it's damn close.

I saw one of those five-headed snakes at target.

And that's exactly where mine came from!
