Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm also looking at this one from Pier 1, which I actually can see in person.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Good times! It's still going strong. Bon's fallen asleep in it more than once, I think. As have I, with company over.
Shame about there being nowhere else to sit in the apartment, though.
I just had a look at some World Market tables, and more than one looked pretty good, but then the realisation I'd have to put them together (and given that I'm looking for one with shelving and/or a drawer---nuh huh), it's not going to happen anytime soon. I do not have the energy for that.

ita !! I'm signing up for our krav center's Intro to Krav class on 2/4!!! I'm so PYSCHED! And prepared to be sore as hell. You get a 2 hour intro session, and a week pass to self-defense and fitness classes, for $35.
WOO ASS-KICKING! And getting my out-of-shape ass kicked! Any pointers or advice? Things to look for to know if they are a good center/instructor? [link]

I've been pretty happy with furniture I've bought from Pier 1, for what it's worth.

wait, so no zipcar in Boston?

Because books.
I so wish there was a Zipcar here. I would use it all the time.

I am scared to drive! I think I literally need to take driving lessons if I'm going to try that.

But also, all the decent Target furniture is online-only, and the Macy's furniture stores are far.

I'm a little surprised that you have to pay for the intro class, Erin, but that's matched by free classes afterwards. It's not the way we worked, anyway. If their intro class is like ours, an extra shirt won't go amiss. Bring water as well.
General warning signs: they try and push you into anything instead of encouraging you. Don't take any pressure from them. Not now. Not when they don't know you. If they don't let you take a moment for water (I mean, if they tell you you'll get some later, that's okay--but this isn't Sparta. This is about you). They don't seem to have many women. That makes me frown a bit. Female instructors shouldn't be that hard to come by. Maybe they have others not on that page.
But, basically, if it's not fun, stop. You don't *have* to do this, and they should respect that.
Also, it's going to hurt. Even done right, it will hurt. Try not to let that surprise you or put you off--unless you just don't want it, in which case, don't look back.
