New space

Our TV had been acting up for a while now, and finally 2 days ago I had enough and went and bought a plasma screen. (I swear the broken TV was not an excuse to get a plasma, although the timing was perfect!). As I brought the new TV home, I had to reconfigure the whole space because the new screen is bigger than the old TV. Matthew and I had been talking for a while anyway about changing our living space and again, that was the perfect occasion to do so. For the past couple of days, I have been turning the living room upside down, moving the furniture around and doing a thorough cleaning at the same time. The result is quite satisfying. The change is not dramatic since we still have the same pieces just in different spots but the room definitely looks bigger and roomier. We still have 3 couches!!! I would like to get rid of at least one and replace it with 1 or 2 nice chairs for a more polished look. Today I took a break from cleaning as my friend Daniela drove down from Los Angeles for the weekend with her daughter and I spent the afternoon and evening with them. Tomorrow we are going to Sea World and on Saturday to Legoland.
I also need to finish posting the pictures from my vacations. I need an assistant!!!
