downright homey

don't know if we've mentioned it yet, but somehow our apartment seems to have kinda fallen into place. now, don't get me wrong, things are still on the spare side -- and since, barring a miracle, we'll only be here another 6 months, i doubt we'll get any more major furniture -- but the furniture we'd already bought did a good job off-gassing while we were gone for christmas, so we now find ourselves with a perfectly usable couch and bed frame -- such novelty! and we even got some posters for christmas to gussy up our walls! things are looking sharp.
