Living in a house with

Living in a house with the grocery shopper being a chocoholic is bad. I mean, we basically have one half of a shelf in our pantry absolutely packed with chocolate as it is, and we usually have at least two brands of chocolate chip icecream in the freezer (although, thats my doing), but just now after easter, oy, there is sooo much chocolate in there. It’s just rediculous. Somehow though, I think i’ll manage…

I’m still vacated from ‘the den’ into the rumpus room because just an hour or two ago we painted the feature wall. In another hour we will be doing the second coat, and half an hour after thats finished, i’ll be moving my stuff back in. The feature wall makes the room look smaller, but at least it adds some colour and excitement to the room.Yes, excitement. I’ll also be moving my stuff all around, rearranging the furniture in there. You see, its all a sly plan to get a couch in the room. It’s not a large room, but ever since we got into this house, I have decided that I need, nay, deserve a couch for that room. It’s where I do all my recording efforts, and whenever I have guests over to record, they often say that the room needs a couch. Anyway, talking to my mother the other day, she said that she wants to replace the sad couchs here in the rumpus room with some new couchs that are less… floral and more… aethetically pleasing. So I said I would take one and put it in the den, and to which she inquired how I thought I could do it. So, out came my scale drawing of the den, with scaled movable figures for the furniture, and I demonstrated if I moved the furniture around, there would be a nice little couch area. Thus, my current effort is getting me another step closer to a couch in the den. After that, my next destination for conquest is my brother’s room when he moves out. There is really good real estate there, because it is adjacent to my bedroom. Then, the possibilities are simply endless.

To quote Otho from BeetleJuice: “Cover up the wallpaper, rip down a few walls, this place might just be livable!”
