A Snowball Effect (a.k.a. our new couches are finally here)

This is specifically dedicated to Ken who is currently in Milan, Italy on a business trip. Without me. I'm a little bitter (and I better get some great chocolate or handbags out of the deal!). There was a really sad story I had at work about 3 months ago where a little boy was killed after he was crushed by a big TV (which, from talking to the medics, is not all that uncommon) . FYI all recent TVS have brackets so they can be bolted to the wall, so check yours at home. Just a tip from your friendly neighborhood ER doc. Anyway, after calling home to check on my kids, my next comment to Ken was that I wanted our big, heavy, tipsy TV gone and I didn't really care how. Well, this all snowballed into a big (though not-so-heavy and way-more-stable) plasma TV for the basement (for which Ken built a very sturdy case) and new speakers (which, according to my husband, are the coolest speakers out there). Of course, we had to decorate the basement better and move the couches downstairs so we would have something to sit on while we watched the new TV. Which led to me getting new couches for the upstairs. Yay!!! This is the first set of furniture we have purchased since we've been married. They just came today -- and Ken, who is in Milan, hasn't seen them. Here are the pictures, honey. They're beautiful.
