The Current Condition of our Spare Room

Here I go with another blog that has no real purpose...
Just so that everyone knows...because I know that EVERYONE really cares about the state of our spare room...this is what the room looks like.

It is like this because, as you may be able to tell, we have an extra chair and a futon now that we have to find space for!. Here goes a background story(now I KNOW you're all cringing and probably logging off because you don't have time for a Lucas rendition of a story...sorry!). The other day I was puttering around on usedcalgary.com and happened to come across a faux leather chair and ottoman set like the one I just bought Duane. I thought to myself, "wow, I think I'd really like one as well, and this one's cheap, and then we can get rid of that big, ugly couch!"...so I phoned, and the other night we went to pick it up. It was slightly cheaper than the one I bought Duane, and is only a year old and in mint condition...VERY good deal considering how much they're really worth. While at the house picking it up, we noticed a futon as well, and while I didn't want to say anything about it(Duane had told me a few months ago that we didn't need a futon right now, and we could wait), he decided to ask them if it was for sale as well! It was. Yay! They were literally selling everything for rock bottom prices because they're moving to Ontario and just needed to get rid of stuff. He told them we'd take it, but it wouldn't fit in our car. They came by last night to drop it off while Duane was in Airdrie, and now it's sitting in the middle of the floor in our spare room. The reason behind me wanting a futon is because whenever we have guests over for the night, we have to take apart the twin bed that is currently in there, and move it downstairs so we have room on the floor to lay out the two mattresses from the bed! And every time we have to take it apart, it's always me that has to do it! I despise taking that bed apart and putting it back together! Well, now we will take it apart one last time and store it in the basement. We'd thought about giving it away, but my mom made a good point when she said that some day we'll have a bigger house (and kids) and need that bed. So for now we'll store it. The couch, however, NEEDS to be dealt with, because we're now keeping the ugly flowered chair(and re-covering it) and putting the glider/rockers where the couch is and putting the ugly chair back in its former corner. Confusing, I know. So if anyone knows anyone who needs a big pullout couch(FREE), let us know! The couch itself is in great shape, but the pullout mattress could use replacing, and you'll probably want to cover the couch...it's kinda scratchy.

That story wasn't that long, was it? ;)
