The furniture store...I know most everyone is probably confused as hell about what couch we're getting. Originally we were buying the couch below:

It was nice enough, but only a 2 cushion and not exactly what we wanted (we thought it was real leather, but it turned out to be faux leather.) It wasn't long enough for Morgan to stretch out on, and it wasn't going to be in stock until this weekend.
Fast forward to Friday when my Mom and I went furniture shopping. A local furniture store was having a huge sale on leather furniture, and I was hoping to find a better deal. My Mom and I loved this sofa:

Of course I wanted it in black, which meant it had to be ordered. Not nearly as bad as the first sofa, though, and I would only have to wait until Wednesday for delivery. Plus it was genuine leather and oh so comfy. Friday night Morgan and I went to North Royalton to pick up his first TPI setup, so we couldn't go to the furniture store until Saturday. I figured since he will sit on the couch too, I should make sure he liked it. Of course he hated the couch. He said it was too smushy and I paid way too much for it since it was only a 2 cushion. We roamed around the store for almost an hour looking for a couch he liked. Our salesman rocked and was very nice and helpful. The major problem was there were only 4 or 5 sofas we could order in black. The rest were brown, maroon, etc. It haaaaaaaaaad to be black or grey. Well, there was a rockass graphite colored sofa I saw when my Mom and I went to the store on Friday. The lady who "helped" us told me the sofa was $1200 (when that was really the price for the 3 piece set,) so I told her no way. I even sat on the damned thing and loved it. Hell, even my Mom liked it and she hates leather furniture. Anyway, Morgan and I were "discussing" which couch to get and our salesman needed a smoke. I told him to go smoke while Morgan and I argued. He scurried off, then Morgan went to walk around the store to make sure we hadn't missed anything. Turns out we had missed something. The graphite couch I originally wanted...There it was on clearance for over $400 less than what I'd paid for the other couch. I guess the sofa wasn't supposed to be ordered separate from the loveseat and ottoman, and this was a straggler piece of furniture. I wound up getting the couch I originally wanted, and for a price I almost felt bad about paying (almost.) Here's a photo of the couch we bought, and it is being delivered Wednesday (we would have taken it Saturday but my brother had to stay home with the kids.)

Oh how freaking comfy it is...
In not as fun news, I had to buy one of these today. I have to test 4 times a day, and the monitor I purchased offers the most testing sites. I do not want to test on my poor fingers, and this monitor allows me to test on my forearms, upper arms, thighs, calves and hands. No fun, I tell you, not at all.
I'm going to be so freaking busy this week, it isn't even funny. My Mom and I are going shopping tomorrow (Monday,) I have an ultrasound and school on Tuesday, Wednesday our couch is being delivered and I have the ultrasound follow up with my ob/gyn, Thursday I have to visit the dietician and go to school, Friday I'll be at the hospital from 7AM-3PM for testing then Morgan and I are going to the Cleveland Auto Show after 7PM. I hope to throw a visit to the maternal-fetal specialist in there as well. Can we say ass dragging?
Speaking of ass dragging, I'm going to bed.
That is all.
