Random Thoughts the Third

I don't think I've ever owned non-used furniture. Like, ever. It has never been in my wheelhouse financially, one of the perils of growing up poor, poor, poor. Even married, I don't think we bought any new furniture; lots of hand-me-downs.

 

I’ve bought pieces new, but I’m waiting until my son is an age he won’t trash a brand-new couch.

Wife and I bought a new couch when we moved into a bigger house and our little hand-me-down love seat rocker looked pathetic by itself. That would have been 2008.

Two weeks? Tell us your spouse is an attorney without telling us your spouse is an attorney.

 

Don't like eggnog? Try boiled custard.

 

Thanks goodness Christmas is over. The number of sale/junk emails I receiver dropped from 25 per hour (legit count) to four all day yesterday.

 

The petty part of my brain: Do you understand how much broccoli I had to eat and how many miles I had to run to lose 100 pounds and now everybody is going to just use a needle and shed every extra pound?

 

I hate the trend of air brushing to death portraits.
