“Open your mind, get up off the couch, move.” -Anthony Bourdain
“I don’t like going out that much. When I’m out, I think about my couch.” – Jennifer Lawrence
On the 8th day til Christmas, another truly valued item agreed on by Amalia and I is the couch! The quotes provide two different opinions on couches, neither are wrong. There is a time and place for everything but some time on the couch is time well spent for me. It’s funny, my friend Ronnie and I were laughing at a saying about how couches are where the majority of where hangouts are. This seems to be the case most of the time, it’s relaxing and enjoyable to just chill with friends, eat some good food and be on the couch. I try my best to not be a complete couch potato but it’s a great place to unwind after everything is done for the day. This is why we went furniture shopping and got a new couch as one of our first purchases with the house. It’s big and has a lot of value for us and for having friends and family over. The same can be said about my computer chair. I took time researching and finding a good chair on sale that is both comfortable and supportive. Both the couch and chair get plenty of use and it’s an item that brings us joy, especially during winter time inside watching movies and enjoying some time off. To recap, we now have discussed, bikes (12th), kitchen appliances (11th), a table for gathering (10th), our computer (9th) and now the couch! What do you think will be next?

Today’s decluttered item is Amalia’s Federer tennis hat. She adored this hat but it’s getting older and has some stains that won’t come out. It sucks when this happens to items you loved to wear but when they can’t be used anymore, it’s time for them to go.
