Well, the elliptical machine has been sold. I will actually kind of miss it, but I love the freedom that I feel has been bestowed upon me, now that it is in a new home. In case you are going, “what?”, then let me give you a little back story… First of all, we have a 3 bedroom bungalow, which isn’t small, but it really isn’t that big either. One of our bedrooms, the one just off of the living room, has always been used as a guest room. Got a visual? Alright… moving on…
James and I started to hate going to the gym, so something convinced us that we needed to plop down about $2000 on a piece of gym equipment, so that we could stop going to the gym. We got fat. Cut to a few months ago, when we decided to join the YMCA to get less fat; what would we do with the elliptical machine, now? It is just sitting there, unused! I KNOW! Let’s sell it and make the guest room, the new living room! That’s right, you heard me; I am making our guest room into our new living room!!! That doesn’t mean we will no longer be entertaining overnight guests, we still have another bedroom that has a full sized deluxe futon in it; and, we may even be able to be persuaded to buy an aerobed or something; so no need to fret.
But now, we will have a great comfy living room, and have enough room to have a full on dining room too!! I never thought the house would actually grow, but I totally feel like it has for me now. And in order to make it into a living room, we went out and bought ourselves a fancy sectional!! Check out the photos:
It is actually coming in that brownish color that you see on the piece of fabric draped over the chaise end in the second picture. I CAN’T WAIT TILL THIS BITCH IS IN MY HOUSE!!! It is down-filled!!! DOWNFILLED! I will definitely be falling asleep a lot more while watching movies in my new living room!!! AND, James and I will get to sit together on the same piece of furniture and be comfortable! Life is good!
Now, if I can only convince James that we need a much bigger, and more awesome TV…
