dear i bought a new couch today diary,
it was 1994. i wish i still had that couch too. i really do. it took such good pictures. you prolly wonder how i can remember how on earth i can come up with the dates on this shit, but trust me, i can explain that. on july 14, 1994, i was so fucking pregnant it wasn't even funny. but from the back- you couldn't tell AT ALL. i was all baby- just a huge round ball in front. i helped the men from the store bring the couch in while the unibomber stood and watched. then i moved it all around the livingroom after they left because it was my first new couch and it had to be perfect. then i turned the cushions upside down and put a blanket over it and we never even sat on the actual new couch for the next five years. same way with the new car too by the way, i put new car seat covers on the seats in there and while the car is now rusting apart eleven years later- the seats are brand new- haven't sat on them yet either. so when harry was born soon after the couch purchase and he weighed 7 pounds and 14 ounces- i automatically thought of the couch and the day we bought it. especially when he came at 1:47 in the afternoon during one life to live.
