Today is a landmark day in the Robicelli’s household. We are now the proud owners of this (but in blue):

“What’s the big deal!”, you say? “It’s just a couch!”, you say? Well, this isn’t just any old couch! This is the very first grown-up couch that Matt and I have ever bought in seven years of cohabitation! It’s not from a garage sale, we didn’t find it on the street, it doesn’t have holes or stains we think we can conceal with a slipcover, totally ignoring the fact that the mere act of sitting causes slipcovers to slide right off a couch. 

After a 12 hour day, I stuffed myself right into that corner piece, put my feet up, and have not moved for two hours. Partially because it’s so comfy, it’s like laying down on a cloud. And partially because after a 12 hour day, I can’t stand up again.

There’s a good chance I’ll still be stuck here tomorrow, meaning you’ll also be able to find me screwing around on Facebook or Twitter. So keep me company as I do invoices and work on a creating a permanent Allison-shaped groove on this thing!

Not as sexy as this one though.
