So today is the day! The day my red sectional is due to arrive. We called the furniture store this morning, verifying that it was indeed coming. Finding out what time they are planning on delivering it is like getting information from the FBI, or a 2 year old (I don't know which is worse.)Either way, we were left with the impression that we needed to stick around.

We gave our sofa and loveseat away last night. We've had that couch and loveseat for nine years, and so it was like seeing an old friend leave for good. It made me kind of sad, but not so emotional that I wasn't excited to see it in the back of someone's truck and driving off into the sunset....lol.

So of course, anyone who knows me, knows that I couldn't shut my mind down. I kept thinking about decorating my living room. Where the couch would go, whether the tv should go in this corner or that, and what kind of curtains needed to be purchased to enhance the space. You would have thought it was Christmas for me, well maybe it's better in some ways. After all, it's a RED couch!!! hehehe I still can't believe my husband trusted me enough to let me buy a RED couch. He has hinted around a little about his insecurity with the idea. Every once in a while he would question me with, "So you know where it's gonna go, right?" Which of course, I respond, "YES!" Although I have reconfigured this room a million times in my mind, and I still have no idea where it's REALLY going to go. He has asked me if I am sure about the RED, and in turn I enthusiastically reply, "Definitely!" Although, I had a few moments of silent doubt, and worried that the whole family would look at me, after the delivery men left, with the "What were you thinking" gaze. However, those were brief fears that I quickly pushed out of my mind, all the while reassuring myself that it was the best most adventurous idea I have had in years.

*Rubbing hands together* I can see it all in my mind's eye! Now, I just hope that my mind's eye isn't wearing rose colored glasses, or we're all in trouble! LOL
