I just got this instant message from my mom:
I don't mean to laugh, but that's the funniest picture I've ever seen on your blog. Maybe it's because I know you so well... I'm surprised you haven't taken a saw to it. If it makes you feel better, I would've done exactly the same thing and had exactly the same results.
Actually, the sofa there is a real conversation piece. Maybe you should leave it."
Ha ha... funny mom.
(BTW... yes, I said "instant message." Since computer class, she's like a regular member of the Geek Squad.)
