Tangle with a Toasted Marshmallow

So, the packing continues- as well as the hunt for a new apartment come Fall-time. While checking out the housing board up at the Wilk we saw a card advertising a Lovesac for a killer deal. We'd never planned to get one- couldn't see spending $500 on a beanbag- but we got a little crazy and decided to embrace a funky eclectic furniture style for our new apt sans traditional couches.

When we went to pick the thing up I suppose we underestimated what "5' diameter" actually meant. We opened up the passenger door to our Chevy Malibu and started shoving. Its squishy, right? It should be able to fit, no problem, right?

Wrong. We pushed and shoved and crawled inside and pulled and heaved and grunted. All the while with Reesey screaming at the top of her lungs from the back seat. Apparently i was all too much like a scene from a horror flick- a giant brown blob was eating her parents before her eyes and she was forced to watch the gruesome deed.

Well, we regrouped, moved her carseat, and tried for the back. Long story short (too late) we finally got it in- and home. And now its our favorite piece of furniture. Reese especially, despite the shaky beginning, has come to love what we lovingly call "the marshmallow".

So, speaking of furniture, we trying to sell the set of blue couches we've got before we head out for Montana on Monday, so if you or anyone you know would be interested please let us know.
Well, there's my sales pitch for the morning. I guess I can check that one off my list.
Here' they are, by the way. The sofa has a hide-a-bed in it. :) Good condition, easy to clean, and comfy.
