Making Do

When it comes to certain things, Adam and I fall in the "make do" category of people. For example, we kicked around the box containing our new lamp for two months before we got around to installing it. The box was too big for our closets so for months, we would move this lightweight, but cumbersome box from our bedroom to the living room and back again, several times a week. Next up, the lovely king sized comforter plasticmom graciously sent us. It's been sitting in the corner of our room for months. The problem was, we didn't have a comforter cover and we were paralyzed with indecision about what to buy. Motivated by the drop in temperature, I finally ordered something on Garnet Hill without consulting Adam. I felt my executive decision was justifiable since it was 70% off and wicked cheap. Adam may feel otherwise. Now that we finally have a lovely lamp in our living room and a nice flannel comforter, we'll be ready for winter.
