Sofa-r no sofa
Oh my God furniture is expensive! I went shopping yesterday to find a cheap couch and a kitchen table and chair set. Everywhere I went it was the same thing. Mucho dinero! I did find a great deal at Dillards though, but I had to turn it down.
They had a beautiful sectional couch on clearance for only $999. It was a six piece set (five parts couch and one part ottoman). The problem was, it was massive. I thought I could put three pieces of the couch in my living room and two in the office (and roll the humungous ottoman out of the way every time I walked through the house), but I think it was still too big!
Everyone keeps telling me to hit Ikea or something of its ilk, but I just don't know. I think homes should come furnished already. I guess I'll haveto wait until I get out to Roswell and find something there. Maybe a kitchen table shaped like a UFO? Or a couch shaped like an escape pod? Any other Roswellian furniture suggestions?

I'd try second hand stores, thrift stores, salvation army. You can usually find good stuff if you look long enough.
By the way, cool shoes. Are they spats?
Here's some Roswellian suggestions:

Ed must not have started the fall term.
Not until Aug 21. I have 20 more days of meaningless internet activity.
Thanks for the sites, Ed. Very helpful!
yeah...they make stuff way too big these days... sadly my fireplace is hidden due to my over-sized furniture....i say go for fifties-styled furniture...that stuff was small and yet still quite functional...or you could just toss pillows on the floor...and really aren't all meals consumed in the living room...dining room tables...ha! i only use mine for typing papers...
