Too Ridiculous


















This couch is ridiculous and I that is why I like it.

It is a 30 year old, blue velvet couch in pristine condition, the result of a life lived under plastic. I purchased it hoping for some MadMen ambiance, only to discover it's true style was closer to Liberace.

I have been diagnosed with breast cancer and have decided to make this ridiculous couch my headquarters for the duration. Tomorrow, February 2nd, I will have surgery, with the presumption of radiation and chemo therapy to follow.

I am sure you have many questions; "Why would you ever buy a couch like this? How do you know it's 30 years old? Are you insane?" All in good time.

In the meantime, the Liberace Couch waits in my living room, for me to return and take up residence. From it's tufted comfort, I will keep you updated on all matters serious, mundane, and most importantly, ridiculous.

  2. Laura: I am so sorry to hear of your diagnosis. You will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers. Having just gone through this with my mom, I know that there is HOPE and JOY even in the midst of the process.
