Furniture update

We have table. And it's truly beautiful. It's huge, but it fits the room, and it's sturdy. With the table pads, I can use it to sew on.

I'm up and excited. Jonathan is all, "It's too big. It's too big, and we don't have kids to fill it up, and we should sell it and get another table from Pottery Barn."

*sigh*

Unless you're super-neat people, you can use part of it to eat on and part of it to spread out sewing or books or tax papers or whatever, until you want to have all your friends over at once for a sit-down dinner, at which point you clear it off and maybe even break out the leaves (if there are leaves). I love big dining-room tables.

Okay, the thought of us being any kind of neat is mindboggling.

Seriously, though, I want to keep the extra stuff off of it, so that we're comfortable filling it, if not with children then with guests. We now have the room to invite families with kids, for thta matter. We have NOT been hospitable enough and it's time to change that.
