Any way I am fast thinking...being the first of the month and all do I need this? where will I put it etc...The price was so right...OK I got leftover candles from Christmas...Takes care of our lights...plenty left in the freezer....takes care of our food...Does Len really need that cable TV? I mean come on he did just find with rabbit ears before and we have plenty of tin foil to bring in enough channels with....And does Len really need a Birthday cake at his age ???? and besides I didn't want to waste those candles on a cake....
Now is this not just the prettiest sofa?? Yes it came home with me... This is the back Oh I am loving all this wood craving on it...
Oh and look at the legs !!! this is so me...this sofa is ca. 1900 and its in great shape...of course I had to redo my Bedroom to get it in there...and then had to tell Len "Happy Birthday" just look what I got you !!! Hey that's fair he bought me tires and wheels for his 1940 Ford he restoring for my Birthday... Oh and I bought an Ice cream cake for him I didn't have time to bake a carrot cake I had to make room for his birthday present ha ha!!Hope all of you have a safe and blessed day....as for me I have to finish decorating around Len's Birthday present...Oh the things I do for that man !!!
Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria

I love the new sofa and I heard it scream "I am sooooo Gloria"! Congrats on the news of a new great grandbaby coming sis...it just gets better & better! Love ya sis! ♥
What a pretty birthday cake . . .I mean couch! Len should appreciate all the hard work it took to get that pretty thing in the house!!
Job well done!
LOL
That sure is better then tires!
He still got a cake so good for you :-)
Ohhhh my gosh, Girlfriend...I had to pick myself up off of the floor laughing to type this...hehehehe!!! Girlfriend, you are definitely "one-of-a-kind"...that's why I love ya so much!!!
Well Dearheart...I can see your name just written all over that beautiful new Victorian sofa...it really is soooo you...absolutely fabulous! The fabric is gorgeous and I just can't get over all of the ornate wood carving...I love it!!! Bet it looks fabulous in your bedroom...oh, I'm so green with envy right now...because that pretty little sofa would be perfect in my living room...hehe!
Well, I can only imagine the look on Len's face when you came hauling it home and telling him "Happy Birthday, Darling"...hehe!!! Priceless!!!
Have a wonderful Wednesday, Sweetie!
Love ya,
Chari
PS...thanks for the good laugh today, I needed it!!!
Oh Gloria, you're such a HOOT! Yes, that sofa definitely screams out GLORIA YOU HAVE TO TAKE ME HOME - I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR YOU TO DRIVE BY! It is a beaut! Ice cream cake trumps carrot cake any ole day! (How did Len like his new gift?) ♥ Diane
Oh my goodnes is this you! Wow, this is gorgeous! Happy birthday Len, you are one lucky man! Hope baby Kyra is still doing well. Love, Cindy
I hope you had a lot of Saran wrap to go with the story you gave Len. You know "a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.. in a most delightful way".
Hey, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. After all if you had of left that sofa, Mama wouldn't have been very happy. And everybody knows, "If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy".
I thought I heard brakes squealing..so had to come check out where all the noise was coming from.. perfect time for a break here.. Oh my goodness... girlfriend.. you are something else.. Is this just not one of the most beautiful things I've ever layed eyes on? You would have kicked yourself royally had you not gotten this for Len for his birthday. You know he has to love it...I mean come on after all you left him the rabbit ears for his t.v.. and got him an ice cream cake to boot... he has to be one happy little camper now doesn't he?? And he isn't... darling I "know" you are.. :-) this beats tires any old day... lol It is just oooooohhhhhhh "so Perfect".... Can't wait to see the other decorating going on around it.. ok... ok.. back to tax clients.. :-( hugs to ya darling.

LOL! I love the couch! It is soo me too!
Hi Gloria, your new sofa is gorgeous!
Hugs,
Carol
Gloria Kyra is beautful!!!!!!!!!!!
I love your new find!
HaaaHaaa, you are too cute! The sofa is LOVELY!!!!!! CHEERS! Michele
I love the way you rationalize, Gloria! I think Len should be thrilled with this sofa...but tell him it's only for looks...no sitting...he might get some of that car restoration mess on it! It is a beauty... ;-) Bo
Oh girlfriend that sofa is sooo gorgeous and so YOU!! It would be worth a few months of hamburger helper and mac-n-cheese! Lol!! And who the heck needs cable? Haha!! Hmmm I think I need to buy my hubby birthday gifts like this! Girlfriend I wanted to know how Kyra was doing? I've been praying hard for her. Everyones prayers have been working for my mom and I sure hope for her too. That picture of her at 6 weeks is just about the sweetest thing I've ever seen! Anhoo I sure missed ya girl and wanted you to know I've been thinking of you. Vanna
It's gorgeous! ;)
No wonder you brought it home with you.
Happy Birthday Glor er Len!
Gloria, I love it! I can see why your brakes stopped immediately. I hope Len is happy with his B'day present. Once he see's how happy it makes you, he should be pleased.
Happy Hump Day
Kris
I love the way your mind works! It's wheels are constantly turning and what results is fun. Ice cream cake is ALMOST as good as carrot cake I guess .........
Gloria, this cracks me up! I agree with your rationalization 100%, and that sofa is definitely you! I hope my legs look that good when I'm 108 - and yes I do plan on living that long! And by the way, are Len and my DH related - tires and wheels for the resto project - that sounds vaguely familiar haha! Hugs, Kathy
Oh Gloria I read your title about How not to make a carrot cake and was already welling up inside with tears of sympathy for you as I had imagined seeing your flop of a cake that you had worked so hard to make-
Was I relieved to see you bought a sofa instead!! ANd My it is LOVELY LOVELY!! I think this will be the perfect spot to eat your DH carrot cake! (I LOVE Carrot Cake- it is my absolute most favorite- the only thing is My DH would not have the slightest idea as to how to make one so I never get one for my birthday! Oh well he has so many other wonderway attributes I guess I will keep him!)

Oh my goodness Gloria, this post cracked me up!!!!!!!!! Rabbit ears instead of cable? The poor poor man!!!!!!! But oh my... look at that couch! It is sooooooooooooo you, and the woodwork is absolutely beautiful. Perfect condition too!
Justine :o )
Gloria it is absolutely beautiful!!
Gloria~
You rascal! I just love the sofa you 'bought' for Len's birthday...lol. Really, it is stunning. I've seen a few here & there ( I would love to have one ) but I've never seen one this beautiful. The woodwork is amazing!
Oh Happy DAY!
A cartwheel for you & Len's b-day!

Happy Birthday to Len and happy new sofa to you! You make me laugh all the time!
Hi Gloria :)
That couch is to die for!! I'll bet Len was thrilled ;)
I'm so happy to hear that Kyra Shea is doing okay!

Gloria, the sofa is definitely you girl ! It is so pretty !
Gloria, I would sit in the dark and eat beans for a year to have that sofa. It is so.. beautiful!! I know Len just loves his birthday present. One year I bought a dog for Larry for his birthday. LOL My birthday is Friday. I wonder what he'll buy me!! I could be in serious trouble. LOL
Hugs, Terrie
I am glad you got yourself a birthday present for Len, lol! You are so funny, girl! That sofa is gorgeous! I can't blame you for bringing it home. Love the carvings on it...Christine
You are hilarious! So glad you got that lovely sofa.....but, why don't you make a carrot cake for Valentine's Day?! Linda : )
Gloria - what a beautiful birthday gift. And - a great story to go with it!
Hugs,
Sweetie
Gloria you are a hoot!! That sofa is killer and you did the right thing. A girl only lives once.

Girl, you just crack me up. You have this all figured out. And your sofa is so much more you than a set of tires. YUK. I just love your home.
Love Ya,
Chris
Oh me, oh my.... you hit the jackpot, gurrrrl ! That is one beeeeauuuutiful sofa and I agree that it was waiting for you to adopt it. I am sooo sure that Len was more than thrilled to receive such a treasure for his b/day.
It's tough, but somebody had to step up to the plate and give it a good home! Now I'd like to see your "new" bedroom !
Hi Gloria! A familiar "face". I'm glad to be here, and so happy you came by to welcome me. Thanks so much. I can't wait to get this whole blogging thing started. Great community!
PS~ Love, Love your music!!
Kelly

Darn! Sherry
