I Suck At Circle Furniture

Today, my present to Karen (and her present to me) arrived. As scintillating a gift as it may be, Karen and I got ourselves furniture this year for Christmas. We had ordered the furniture from Circle Furniture located in Pembroke.

Now, I suck at Circle Furniture. We have never ordered furniture from there before. But I must say, it was a great experience. Of course, the free candy in the store (like Jolly Ranchers) may have swayed my decision. Although truthfully, Circle Furniture was the only place to actually have furniture that would fit the spot we were looking to add furniture to.

Karen was looking to add a sectional to our first floor living room with hopes of opening the area up in terms of seating, as well as giving our twenty one month old daughter (Briana) more room to play in. Prior to the sectional, the room only had two seats and a table. While that may be okay for just Karen and I, it wasn't going to work well when we had more than the two of us in the room. Hence, the sectional.

I actually thought it was a good idea, in part because adding the new sectional also meant that later on I could replace our television in the living room with a new flat panel television. Karen said the new television is all me. Woo hoo! I can't wait to make that purchase.

Anyway, the sectional arrived today and it looks great. Briana even seemed to enjoy it even though she may have gotten a concussion because of it. Sadly, Briana accidentally fell on her head while standing on the sectional (after repeated attempts by Karen to tell her sit instead of stand).

In what can best be described as a Charlie Brown flip, Briana seemed to spin 360 degrees in the air and land on her head. I actually only caught the dramatic part of the Charlie Brown spin (ie. the head meeting the floor part) because I was in the other room. Briana was with Karen at the time. I walked into the room... and plop. It was devastatingly sad. Luckily for us, Briana's melon is pliable. After a lot of tears, she was back to her regular self in no time and jumping back on the sectional.

Regardless, I think the furniture looks great. And I definitely can't wait to purchase that new television now.
