All I Ever Wanted Was Sleep & Pretty Couches

4:33 PM

So I’m up and I’ve come to the conclusion that the past six hours were the hardest to sleep through due to the following occurrences:

11:50 AM: Phone conversation with Mom:

Mom: Hey you want to got to the supermarket today.

Me: Noooooooo.

Mom: Okay, I’ll go myself.

Me: Bye.

Twenty-one minutes later … Another call!?!?

Mom: Grab a jacket and come outside. I brought you a few things.

Me: No, I’ll come by later.

Mom: It’s only for a minute.

Me: Later …

I hang up her and then I realize that she probably was really outside. I sulk for the next minute before falling asleep again.

So after that ordeal, I think I’m free to sleep, but NO, I wake up wondering this:

‘Was that really my doorbell that rang? Hmm …’

Ding dong …

‘Crap, that was it.’

Me: Who is it?

Person: I’m Bernie’s friend.

Me: (I open the door to what clearly looks like a seventeen-year old. I don’t know any of those.)

Person: Hi, I’m Eva. I sell gold and I buy gold. Do you have any you want to sell?

Me: No.

Eva: Any broken pieces? We do buy those.

Me: No and goodbye. (Closes the door.)

I mean what in the world am I supposed to do? Sell her my jewelry through my door in the middle of the afternoon. I got her card and I’m still not happy. So I’m up now and at least there’s good news.

The fabric I’ve ordered is going to be shipped and is out for delivery. You may ask, “Why is she getting fabric?” Well, I recently got these two couches as a gift from one of Petes’ friends. There’s nothing wrong with the hardware/frame except the fabric on the couches make them look, well, a bit dirty and old. So, I found fabric.com and turns out that it’s located in Marietta, GA and the fact that they are an online store only. At least I won’t have an issue making any returns.

Yay, upholstery fabric means no more ugly couches!

Here’s what the couches look like now. Brace yourselves!

This is the loveseat.
This is the sofa, quite nasty. Don't you think?

And this is what we’re replacing the current upholstery with:

It's such a pretty paisley. The pattern is pretty big so details should pop out more than ever.

Hopefully, we can get the upholstery tools and be able to finish this by the end of the summer. We might have to bring the sofas to my mom’s place for the sewing machines. I mean, we could bring the machinery to our apt but each one feels like they weigh half a ton. And there are two of them … Well, for now, the sofas shall be covered with sheets … Anything looks better than what it is now.

Well, the day has been great raspberries. I’ll leave my review for the HTC Thunderbolt tomorrow. And yes, I do own that phone.
