holy crap! it's december! when did that happen? yeah, smartasses, at midnight. thanks. =P

so, my superawesome, grown-up, big girl, red, leather couch arrived yesterday. i wasn't entirely sure the two middle-aged gentlemen (one of which, i'm pretty sure, was a newfie) were going to a) arrive efore five and b) manage to get it up the stairs and around the tricky corners; but, they did, with apparent ease even. *sigh* it's so big and sturdy and soft and squishy and sexy and RED! it makes the room look so different than when the futon was around.

after photos were taken and uploaded to flickr, christopher (who'd come over to await the delivery with me - what a sweetheart) and i quickly popped out to fetch dinner (memphis blues!), then we settled back on the new sofa to break it in while watching the last movie in our star wars trilogy marathon. it's absolutely perfect for movie-watching. lots of room for us both to get comfy and i'm loving the padded armrests -- it gives me something else to lean up against rather than my boyfriend's hip.

although, i wonder how long it's going to take me to get used to it being there. every time i would look around the livingroom, i was suprised to see it. not in a bad way, though. definitely not in a bad way. *dreamy sigh*

of course, now that it's finally here, i need to go out and buy new throw pillows to put on it and new curtains to compliment it and i'm even thinking about getting an area rug to tie the whole room ogether. i guess i know what i'm doing this weekend! well, that and looking for a wii. ;)

while i sat at work the other morning in the dark with no coffee or computer i started composing some lists: xmas gift list, xmas card list, xmas baking list, photo printing list. i've got a lot of stuff i need to do. i think i'm going to have to take one of the weekend days off from socializing just to get some work done on crossing items off my lists. plus, i need to put up my dorky little xmas tree and decorations. i better put that on a list or it probably won't get done.

plus, it's potluck season at work, which means i need to start baking and thinking of things to bring to feed my co-workers. there's one scheduled for the day after the decemberists show, so i'll probably bring chips or cutlery to that one since i forsee a late night and not much sleep.
