welcome

in other news, we'd like to welcome 2 new members to our family: Marvin and Ferguson. Who are they? well, they are our new (but old) chairs. you weren't expecting that were you? we were trying to figure out how to lay out the living room and thought that it would be nice to have 2 chairs in there. we looked around and found these two guys on Craig's List. we borrowed my co-worker's truck and headed to the southside of Indy on Monday night to check them out. obviously, we liked them ... so are now proud owners of two Danish modern chairs (so they say). they are in good condition and very comfortable. we might want to re-upholster them at some point though. we chatted with their previous owners Chris and Jessica for quite a while. they are really great folks. turns out they make their living selling modern art at a gallery downtown, via Ebay, and through referrals (our bank chain, Irwin Union, has started putting them in their branches). they are doing well enough that they have both quit their regular jobs to pursue it full time. they have two funny labs named Marvin and Ferguson, so we thought we'd carry on their names for them. we enjoyed talking to them for a while, then headed back north with our new chairs. after that, i headed back downtown to watch the Colts game with some friends. last night, i was pretty much spent from work, so we took the night off. tonight, Chrissy finished pulling staples from the upstairs hallway and did some cleanup up there in addition to the things mentioned under Project #5. today i also officially signed a proposal to have someone do all our floor sanding for us. that should happen in the next 2 weeks i believe. that's it for now. gotta get some sleep ... tomorrow will be a long day i think.
