My Little Birdies work in the Helpful Department

This weekend while our friends were here the girls {Kelly & Heather} and I did what we do best. Criticise.

No, not that.

We shopped.

I'm not sure how the convo got started, but Kelly said she had never been to World Market before.

Heather and I gasped! 

I mean, that is pretty much a sin in my book. Have you been to World Market?

Are you a sinner?

I know you are even if you've shopped at World Market....or else you wouldn't get my humor. 

I am full of sinners' humor.

Anyhoo....we spent a good amount of time in the store and I think we each {in our imagination} redecorated 3 rooms in each of our homes.

Me? I saw the banquette/settee's right off the bat and 

 I sighed *I always wanted one of those at my kitchen table* And I sighed again.

I have to let you in on a little convo the Coach and I had last week that has nothing to do with my kitchen table. 

Me: I'm thinking about getting a bigger couch in the living room. The one we have is too small.
Coach: Who uses it? Hardly anyone, right?
Me: I sit in there all the time so I don't see the mess my people leave all over the family room. {The living room is always clean} Plus, we use it during Christmas and parties.
Coach: Well, I'm certainly not in charge of the "Furniture Department" here, so you do whatever you want, it won't bother me. 

Then I thought: What department is he in charge of? Automotive. Shipping/receiving. Softball. Direct paycheck deposit. Killing bugs.

Yeah, we all have our departments at home. Just like at work.

So anyhoo...The girls and I piddled around World Market for a while and sat on/touched just about everything.

Cut to my actual birthday; Monday.

The Coach comes home from work before we go out to dinner and drags in a huge box.

Guess what he got me.

Guess.

 If you guessed a banquette/settee, you would be an A+ guesser. 

FYI, We like calling it a "settee" while  saying "settee" with a very snobbish French accent. 

Talking snobbish while in the comfort of your own home is simply delightful. 

{In my mind, I just said that above sentence in my French-Snobbish accent} 

Ozzie approves even though he is not allowed to join us on it.

I am the queen of the furniture department! I just crowned myself.

Do you sometimes feel like laying down after a good meal?

Well, this certainly cuts out the need to exert yourself by waddling all.the.way.over to the couch.

{Guess what show I am watching on Netflix}
Please pay no attention to the nekkid media cabinet...the top is being repaired. 

 I love it so much I can hardly stand it.
And after all this, can you stand me?
Well, my little birdies never tire of me....and they are so good at helping the Coach shop!
Here is a blog post a few years ago that shows this same area with our regular chairs, older light fixture, no window treatments and our out-of-date wall unit.
We've come a long way baby....and we don't even smoke those lady cigarettes!

Have a lovely weekend ya'll! If you need me, I'll be on my settee...
