Sofa Question
We're using our pillow back sofa now and I don't like it. The pillows take up too much seat cushion room. The pillows are never straight enough after using. Too many damn pillows to get comfy and half end up on the floor after only 10 minutes. UGH!
What kind of sofa do you have as your MAIN use sofa?
What do you like about it?
What do you dislike about it?

Thanksgiving 2014 = Me Sad
Normally by now I'm full fledged into planning my Thanksgiving tablescape. It's truly something I enjoy as Thanksgiving is my all time FAVORITE sit down meal holiday! Last year I scaled it down WAY back because we were traveling with the tablescape. Hey...I even brought the flower arrangement with me. LOL!
This year my mommy-in-law is hosting and I'm simply providing the organic turkey.
2009 Thanksgiving Tablescape Planning
I didn't think I'd be ready to host so soon after the move so I gladly passed on it but now I'm all feeling some kinda way because I love, love, LOVE doing it.
2010 Thanksgiving Tablescape Planning
And now I have nothing Thanksgivingish to do.
*sigh*
Well...I know you know this already but here are a few of the tools I use: Thanksgiving Planning Worksheet
Here is how I made the topper for last year's tablescape: Easy and Cheap Fabric Tablecloth!
Yall know that all of the archives from years past are here: Rantings of a Creole Princess
Just search for whatever you're looking for.
Now I'm all depressed because I started thinking about where in the hell I can put my Christmas tree this year. *sigh*
Tell me something good. Any Thanksgiving prep questions I can answer for you? Want me to help you brine your turkey this year? What's on your menu? Need help cooking something? Have a tablescape idea you need a little lagniappe to pull together? Holla atcha girl. I need to feel useful.

On Energy Efficient Washing Machines
One thing I was very down about was leaving my washer and dryer. I love them. When our old washer died, I did the research and bought the best new set that could fit in our laundry closet.
I love my Maytag Bravos. LOVE.THEM!!!!!
When I saw the washer and dryer that we have now I got sad.
I mean...look at these lack of options on this control panel:
I was so depressed. I immediately threw in the duvet that Robby used as a buffer between two pieces of furniture and which had become ridiculously dirty in the process. When I got it out...I noticed how white and gleamy it was. Yes...I said GLEAMY.
Then I tossed in Jaru's feet cleaning towels.
Um...GLEAMY-ER!
I started tossing ish in left and right. Towels, pillowcases, PILLOWS!
Dudes...I MISSED A WASHING MACHINE THAT USED A FULL BASIN OF WATER!!!!!!!!! HOT WATER! COLD WATER! IN-BETWEEN WATER!
Yesterday I was on the phone with an Elder and mentioned the washing machine. That started a 20 minute rant from him about these, BULLSHIT AZZ LOW FLOW ENERGY EFFICIENT BULLSHIT AZZ NEWFANGLED SHIT THEY FORCE US TO BUY! I SWEAR I'VE BEEN MEANING TO GO DOWN TO THE SALVATION ARMY AND BUYING AN OLD SET OR TAKING A SET OUT OF ONE OF MY RENT HOUSES ONCE SOMEONE MOVES AND PUTTING THESE BULLSHIT AZZ ONES IN THERE! I WASH MY JEANS AND THEY LOOK THE EXACT SAME! THEY AREN'T EVEN WET! JUST DAMP BEFORE I PUT THEM IN THE DRYER! I GOT SO GOTDAMN MAD ONE TIME I TOOK MY JEANS DOWN TO THE LAUNDRY HOUSE AND PAID $50 TO USE THEIR DAMN MACHINE AND THEN BROUGHT MY JEANS BACK HOME SOAKING WET AND DRIED THEM! I HATE MY DAMN MACHINES!
Um...okay. I wasn't quite on THAT level but yeah...totally loving this non-energy efficient set.
Do you have a non-energy efficient set? If you have an energy efficient set...any complaints? Have you ever used a non-energy efficient set after getting used to using energy efficient ones? Noticed any differences?
