drumroll, please

introducing...

Clifford ... the Big Red Couch

i dragged the duct-taped-cushionless-stained-ripped-and-torn Queen Anne chair that i bought at a neighbor's garage sale for $25 eighteen years ago to the curb yesterday... 

and the OldManLeatherChair donated by a neighbor who didn't want to pay extra for the trash guy to haul it away will be moving on to shaggier carpet in a few days... 

we haven't owned a couch in a gazillion years... 

and for the first time in her Life, Auntia sat upon a brand spanking new piece of furniture... 

woo hootie hoo!!!

So, I'm lying on the couch and Laura walks in and I say

 "Free at last" 

and she says,

 'You're free all right, you're free to do the dishes' 

So I say,"You're talking to the former President, baby' 

and she says,

'Consider this your new domestic policy agenda'

George W. Bush
