I didn't see this coming...

After knitting yesterday I dropped by Kmart, for something...can't remember what, and strayed into the outdoor furniture department. I saw this sign that said Lazy-boy recliner, and I thought I would sit down and try one out. I lie back, lifted the foot pad and was a goner. Then I further tilted and went all the way back, just like the dentist's chair. I gotta tell you, I love the dentist's chair. Feet up, head down, middle further down, and so ready to nap. It was love at first sit. But eoouwww I hated the color of the cushions. And really...who wants chairs like this for outdoors? Um. Well. Me I guess. But what about the price? And do I need, no, NEED them?
The price on the chair was $399 but then I saw the deadly sale price...$279. O geesh.
Then I looked at the cushions, which were easily removeable and so easy to recover, including the foot pads which are velcroed! I could make new ones anytime I wanted to change (immediately) them.
I chatted with another shopper and then he decided to buy a different set, which were lots more money and not as nice, so the Hour of Decision was upon me. I thought I could just show Dave online, but that's not the same as sitting in them...so what the heck, I said "I'll take two!" I can always return them, I figured.
But I also knew Dave would say he wanted them...and I was so right.
Here is a photo of them in the living room, half extended. I'd have to be sitting in it to get it to go all the way back, and let me just say, getting out of it in this position was no easy trick.
This is position makes it possible to stay awake. All the way back, not so much.
Part B: We unloaded them from the van onto the deck and in the bright sunlight the color wasn't so nasty. I kinda liked it. Then we decided that they could go in the living room and with the seaglass walls, they looked right at home. Kinda. Anyway, they are staying right there. We watched TV in total comfort and the dawgs managed to jump up on our laps, and cuddled easily. The fabric is outdoor stuff so it can easily be washed, which of course with our dirty dawgs is a must. They have their own couch, doncha know.
I never thought I would ever buy Lazy-boy chairs. We must really be old farts now.

How's the diet going, you ask? Here I am in my size 12 jeans! Smaller butt and flatter tummy. Legs still short however. Damn.
Working on the ham shank arms today at Jazzercize.
I am not eating the following: pasta, potatoes, rice, bread, cookies, any sugar or flour, chocolate, popcorn, pizza, WINE, beer, hard liquor...all the stuff that made me fat. I'll weigh myself at the end of the month, but I am sure I have more to lose, but I won't be going all the way down to size 8 like I did last time. I mean, good health is the goal. And I am already there now!
