It's all sorts of messed up and I keep wondering how quickly my house can sell so I can have all my junk back!

But I still watch my shows down there when Chris is away. I just tune out my surroundings.Kate Coveny Hoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18006589284938683965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-27458779541318067022012-06-05T08:29:51.507-04:002012-06-05T08:29:51.507-04:00You would feel right at home in our family room.

We have a whole bench/footrest thing in the family room that flips open into just a big box for whatever. Plus a couple of shelves in that room reserved for uncatagorizable things. Mona's Valentines that we're not supposed to throw away? Shelves of limbo. Quinn's favorite stick? Shelves of limbo. Some cord that we're not sure what it goes to? Shelves of limbo. (Someday I will do a whole blog post on the shelves of limbo.)Korinthia Kleinhttp://the-quiet-corner.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-34329587846141616042012-06-04T14:15:00.094-04:002012-06-04T14:15:00.094-04:00I'm leaving my dh this week, but I'm takin...I'm leaving my dh this week, but I'm taking the 2 lovebirds with me, so that doesn't really count...<br /><br />Eat pizza!
