All My Furniture

155 days, 4 hours, 43 minutes

I’m pretty sure this isn’t the most important thing I should be doing right now. But since Peter told me he checks this blog twice a day, I guess I’d better give him something to read.

Last Saturday, Peter and I (following in my parent’s footsteps) spent an hour or so hanging out at IKEA. We made an impulse furniture purchase! Our first kitchen table has taken up residence in my basement. It’s pretty. And it was so exciting.
“Can we afford this?” “Do you think this is a decent table – I mean, I think it’s nice, don’t you?” “Do you like this colour?…oh but that colour looks tacky.”
And then I stood outside at the loading exit, waiting while Peter got the car…and then we squished this big furniture-shaped cardboard package into our Mazda. As we drove home, every few minutes one of us would look to the other and say, “Can you believe we bought a TABLE?” And then we’d giggle.

I think we decided to get married and have furniture together.

All’s I can say is, children may be scary for us.

    I know, with kids it will be every few seconds, “Can you believe we are going to have a BABY?!”
